i'm using Asus AC68U loaded with RT-Merlin, can easily setup to use for Unifi because it default supports the local ISP special configuration, so easy to setup.

tested for 30mbps over wireless no problem :}

any have recommendation for sock5 proxy for torrent to use with unifi ?

also is dnscrypt needed for unifi or not?

my router can install it on rt merlin, but i'd have to use putty to install entware to install dnscrypt >_>; or install shibby tomato which i rather not do.

30mbps dl /10mbps ul (got upgraded from 5mbps which was a nice surprise, cause 5mbps wasn't cutting it for my for my obs streaming). I'm using an Asus RT-AC68U AC1900 class router loaded with RT-Merlin's third party firmware (NEVER USE THE DEFAULT UNIFI ROUTER!!! it's totaly POS )


Also using a F95B usb fan, since we are in the tropics the router can get damn hot


got temps tamed down from 80+ to a more reasonable 60c for 24/7 operation




local speed (hard to complain about this other than the price)



singapore speed (i was expecting around 20ms... but guess this is okay, even for counter strike fps)



US speed (LA CA WebNext - US West. International speed is most important since most of the content is located here, outside that which is cache on akamai/google servers locally. so this result has to be good or you'll be relying overly much on local peers on torrent....)



germany speed ( frankfurt leaseweb)




PIA (private internet access VPN)
using one of the US servers i got around 10mbps download. which is basically a third of my dl subscribed speed. But considering we may have signed TPPA, this may be unavoidable Maybe using paid proxy for torrent can achieve better speeds while achieving some anonymity.


anyway regarding speedtest, some server is slow (got like 10-15mbps dl), but considering this other server in US west can get this result, i'll accept it as the official result.

unifi has come a long way, even the latency has reduced from 200, to even lower. I'm using ipv6 maybe that helped?

just hope the pricing becomes more reasonable, now we got gst >_>;



PS: on side note, this router can max out on 30mbps internet speed over wifi 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I don't have 50mbps package so i obviously can't push the limit to test for that

updated the post above. the speed considering the distance is pretty good. normally our european destination speed kinda sux, but it's much better than before.

even latency is now 200ms, which is what we use to get to the US previously. Before use to be somewhere around 300-500ms.

samsung 2016 hdtvs just got smarter and more secure. maybe consider upgrade?

then you can run netflix over smarthub and watch using unifi SECURELY!

pigs will fly before then

this is why they can provide a sub par service and charge us for it and get away with it. otherwise they'd be serious and add better content.

sure we got iflix now, but thats an additional service ONTOP of .... so....


i think the astro + broadband bundle is fairer, since it's optional.

i do think iptv is the way forward from satelite. netflix kinda proved that. but i want to pay when the content warrants it. i wonder if they will get around to fixing that or at the very least debundle, now that there is iflix for it supposedly.

i'm using since 10mbps. the new equipment much difference?

i use my own ac68U for 30mbps. any reason i need new btu ? or no difference

ah i see.

yeah doubt gigabite for wan matters for current speed.

as for lan, all my devices is connected to each other via router which has 1gigabit, so not going to matter really

i just wondered because i've been experiencing drop connections playing heroes of the storm to the US server. so wondering is this either due to the old btu or maybe other internet users from region affected as well.

same shit happened to me playing hearthstone.
