Odd, mine works on Chrome on iphone. Didn't try Firefox.

Just tested working on desktop Safari, Chrome & Firefox. Must disable AdBlock then only can work. If AdBlock is on then clicking Begin Test no effect. I'm on Mac OS X 10.8.4. Latest version of FF and Chrome but old Safari.

yah, same here. first time I tried, worked only on my Firefox (which didn't have adblock). Was wondering why the other browsers not working.

Just tried, OK here.

Me too for iTunes App Store downloads but not all apps, just a minority of them. Right now, Asphalt 8 is going really slow for me.

I like & heartily recommend Cisco, Ubiquiti & Mikrotik. Currently using Mikrotik, most affordable of the lot.

The only reason I can think of is that it's a fire hazard.

One of my BTUs is the Alcatel-Lucent one. The whitish one. This is the letter I got. Replacement not done yet. As you can see there's no reason given for the replacement except to improve it.


I didn't get one for the black Huawei one.

TM didn't give a reason in their letter. The only conclusion I came to was that the adaptor is the problem and the only thing I can think of is that it's a fire hazard. Maybe the BTU may consume more power and some adapter might not support that high amount of current. That usually leads to overheating, rubber melting, wires touching and then internet down.

My friend bought the Archer C7 from gemfive.com.my last week with a 30% discount. It was 428 less 30% = 300. Not sure about shipping. I'll post the link if I find it or you can just search for it.

Edit: The code is HAPPY30 for the 30% off. I bought a DAP-1665 last month (also for 30% off but diff code) and it was free shipping so I assume it's also free shipping for the C7.

That's a good reason and less worrying than mine. It's nice to see TM being proactive about BTU failures.

Btw, you have a good review site. I was looking for an AP and came across your site while googling. In the end I settled for the DAP-1665 due to budget constraints. It would be nice if you could include the RRP in your reviews.

Thought you all know about it already. I also found out about it from this forum, thanks to khalid21 I bought a DLink, some Nestle foodstuff and electrical appliances. The discount applied to all of them.

The Archer C7 is here but sold out.

But gotta be careful, some products are marked up quite high so check prices first. The DAP-1665 is a good deal too. RM250 cheapest in LYP that I can find. I paid RM195 for it and free shipping.

The letter looks real enough. You can always call TM 100 to confirm. I'm sure there'll be bad hats somewhere thinking of ways to take advantage of this situation.

Guess so. Mine was installed quite long ago. The Alcatel about 2 years. The Huawei about 4 yrs ago. But I only receive letter for the Alcatel.

Which router are u using now? I did some tests, even the stock TM RG4332 can handle 30mbps over wifi with no problem provided you are not to far away.

Test is here towards the bottom of the post.

Mine is upstairs at the back of the house. Not the best of places but can still reach the front gate sometimes.

Some speedtests here.

OK here. FTP upload to US VPS, no prob, getting 5mbps.

Not using TVBox but streaming TVB series from questionable Chinese websites on my PC is ok here. Once in a while got hiccups but generally quite smooth.

Did they change the adaptor for the BTU or the router? My letter said its for the Alcatel BTU but someone here said they change the adaptor for the router instead.

That's the best way to do it. Many wifi access points instead of one big powerful one for the whole house. The former always works better especially if your house is big or have thick walls. Many people forget that a powerful router can reach your device but your device might not be able to reciprocate.
