I am going to have Unifi Advance 30Mbps installed tomorrow. (previously on Steamyx 1Mbps - contract ended) I have a new TP Link 450Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router TL-WR1043ND. Should I straightaway ask them to use the my own router during installation and keep the TM's free router as back up?

QUOTE(vknight @ Nov 22 2015, 09:43 PM) Hi All I just upgraded today like you from 1Mbps to 30Mbps. But they gave me new router (without external antenna).Just found this forum. Upgraded from streamyx 1mb to Unifi 30mbps. So far so good except that the installer mentioned that the router is a earlier model and cannot use for wireless hypp tv. I had to use my own homeplug. He mentioned alternatively i can wired Lan. He said the newer router better for wireless hypp tv but wifi is poor if the doors are closed. Also he setup 2 wifi id. One for normal data usage and one for hypp tv. Is it normal? Just wondering I am getting the latest product. I also prefer to have a single router modem. Is a good idea to get one? Thanks  This post has been edited by onlinepaycheck: Nov 23 2015, 08:24 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(johntg100 @ Nov 22 2015, 09:47 PM) The router looks like an old one. The newer one looks exactly same size with the BTU unit it is sitting on top. I opted for standard install (FOC) and they didnt install fiber termination box outside.Did you opt for "standard install" ? Also outside your house they got install a fiber termination box/demarcation box on the wall before the internal wiring goes inside your home? If not, I think they're giving you bare-minimum stuffs. The termination box is inside my house, next to tv cabinet. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(johntg100 @ Nov 22 2015, 10:07 PM) That one is called the fiber socket, not outdoor termination box/demarc unit. Thanks for pointing out. Previously TM install both of them and they come with standard installation now no more. Cost cutting move. We are getting less and less value nowadays. |

QUOTE(vknight @ Nov 22 2015, 10:16 PM) Any recommended tv box for sports? I am new to this. Not yet finished reading and learning which is among the better ones.The Unifi IPTV box has Google playstore, but the installer told me cannot be used yet. However, seems like there's a thread on this https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3594298 which seems actually can be used. |

QUOTE(afroboy @ Nov 28 2015, 04:59 PM) Can I upgrade to 30 mbps through their website? Or should I go to tm center? Go to dealers (counters in mall/shops or online forumers) I think it's faster... because they earn commission...I went to dealer immediate log in to system and register and put in schedule into system via his computer based on earliest available installation time. And it's done just like that. |

I have been experiencing problem with my Unifi 30... wifi connection suddenly lost internet. HyppTV still continued playing. I plugged in LAN to laptop, there's internet! but Wifi on 3 iPhones and laptops did not have internet, WiFi remained connected.
Earlier I thought it was the stock router's problem (it was happening like every 1 or 2 days), so I changed to TPLink TL-WR1043ND. And I encountered the same problem again. I needed to restart the router to fix it. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice on this? EDIT: clarification. this is not specific to Apple devices only (iPhone). My case is Wifi connected, but no internet. Once the problem occurs, iPhones and laptops did not have internet (WiFi remained connected).

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Jan 30 2016, 08:58 PM) [attachmentid=5943662] I don't have Android device, iOS doesnt have similar app.... Do a wireless scan and if you see something like the image above, 2.4Ghz is probably unusable at your location.  but a check on PC shows 9 wireless APs detected. QUOTE(jolmy @ Jan 30 2016, 11:07 PM) Set the WiFi channel width to 20MHz (NOT 40MHz). It is a well-known issue that Apple devices don't work well with 20MHz. I don't have 5GHz router. But I do have TP-LINK TL-WPA4220KIT WiFi powerline extender which I didn't use because signal is strong enough to reach my bedroom on 2nd floor. Also, like @blacktubi said, if you live an area crowded with Wireless AP (especially in high-rise), you may want to consider 5GHz or better still, invest in HomePlug technology which is exactly what I am using. QUOTE(SiLv3sTeR @ Jan 31 2016, 05:27 PM) i change to channel 11, less problem for apple devices.... Sorry, I edited my problem statement. It's not Apple devices specific problem. When it happened, all smartphones and laptops had no internet, WiFi remain connected.This post has been edited by onlinepaycheck: Jan 31 2016, 06:02 PM |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Jan 31 2016, 06:10 PM) Use WPA2 only and disable QSS. Try a different wireless channel as well. Thank you for pointing me to Inssider! Much appreciated.You should be able to see which channel is the least congested with Inssider on Windows. |
