blacktubi that is just crazy but unfortunately becoming the norm in many places.

Yeah, Apple banned all Wifi scanner apps about 5 years ago. But there is one left.

You'll need to enable WiFi Scanner in Settings.

For those experiencing increased pings and reduced upload speed but download speed (especially speedtest) seem mostly unaffected. Here's another possibility. That your router is being utilised as a zombie in an Amplification Attack.



The above is a Mikrotik RB951Ui-2HnD router being used as a zombie in a DNS Amplification Attack. Firewall rules were disabled and routed rebooted. About 36hrs later the router was acquired and the attack started. They're not attacking you. They're using you to DDOS someone else.

Symptoms:
1) Blinking WAN light when no-one is using the internet
2) Increased pings
3) Slow upload but normal download speeds (from above you can see upload is maxed out)
4) Reboot solves the problem until hours or days later. (when the bad guys reacquires your new IP address)
5) Thousands of connections to port 53 DNS. If your router runs out of memory, it slow down or locks up eventually.
6) High CPU usage. Usually when this happens, your router web config page takes awhile to load.

If your router is powerful enough, you might not even notice it.

Solution is to lock down your router. At the very least deny access to port 53 DNS from WAN.
Ensure that your router has a good password or disable remote management.

Notes:
Stock TM router RG4332 - has port 53 opened to the WAN but is safe from DNS amplification attack as it's not a recursive DNS resolver. Not sure if this can be changed in router configuration page.
Mikrotik - default config denies access to port 53 but can be changed if router login is compromised.

which site? i can't find 1

well well well...

Kuala Perlis server is famous for giving crazy upload speed.

Yeah, no kidding. lol

nice. so just wait and it will be upgraded slowly or need to contact 100?

u can report if u want it early. I did mine on Saturday and got it on sunday(working day in Terengganu) afternoon.

Any side effect for blocking port 53?

may i know if we need to restart BTU/Router for this new upload speed to take effect?

no need. it comes auto.

Thank you. Maybe mine not yet. Still 5Mb

for those who still on old upload speed 30/5, 50/10, mybe u guys can send tweet to @tmconnects and ask them to increase ur speed.

just now they say already increase mine but i cant check since im at office right now, will confirm it tonite.

Nah, you can call now. No need to wait.

You can call to upgrade now. It's published on their website and no need to restart BTU actually.

Same router like no problem like yours. Already on latest firmware?

received email about the upgrade complete, then only restart BTU

The citylink guy came last saturday by motorcycle and gave me a new adapter. Then said just keep the old adapter. Is this their SOP? Plug and play myself lol.

Generally speaking, no, blocking port 53 from WAN to your router just stops it from answering DNS queries from the WAN.
