may I know what is the penalty to downgrade plan? Was on 300mbps (upgraded to 1gbps now)... would like to downgrade to 500mbps plan to save RM50 per month, however my contract is only on the 10th month now...

Hi guys, switched back to the C1200 router since my old router can't support gigabit ethernet.

Is the constantly rebooting / non connecting problem with the c1200 still persist?

Yes, my area has time coverage

There is a FAQ section that will answer ur question, anyway below is the screenshot taken from their FAQ section ..I feel like FAQ section is underutilized

Just update to latest TIME firmware.

You can check with these 2 gentlemen, they are Time reseller

Thank you

I didn't see downgrade with router option when i did so.

I'm currently on Huawei HG8240H and ASUS RT-AC68U. I'm on the 500mbps package and only getting 60+mbps for upload and download via wifi.

Any hardware issues going on here?

Time upgraded speed to 500Mbps. I performed speed test on speedtest.net with my samsung smart TV UA55MU6100K. It showed 70Mbps DL and UL. It's in a small 450sq ft studio room. Is there a way to speed it up?

I also tested speed on my old Samsung note 3. It seems the old device can't keep up with the speed either, which only shows 220-250Mbps UL and DL. Is this normal?

Thanks

2.4Ghz WiFi is going to give you around 50Mbps (for b and g) and closer to 100Mbps (on 802.11n) theoretical speed with very ideal conditions. Throw in distance, interference and congested channels and you are looking at 50-70Mbps at most.

5Ghz (on the 802.11n) might give you better but still within 100 to 200Mbps depending on distance, as well as your hardware (bonding channels on some routers will allow you to hit up to 600Mbps in theory). Keep in mind the 5Ghz band while providing higher throughput, drops off significantly as you get further away from the AP compared to the 2.4Ghz band.

If you really want to have >500Mbps stable WiFi, you need to get on the 5Ghz AC band, which allows up to 1.3Gbps on a single channel, and capable of going all the way up to 7Gbps on certain router models. TIME supplied c1200 is not going to give you anything more then 200Mbps even on the AC band (unless maybe if you stand right next to the AP). The issue is a lot of routers are auto configured to switch bettern 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, and most of the time, you are only connecting on the 2.4Ghz band instead of 5Ghz AC when you walk away from the AP.

You will need to recontract 24-months in order to claim the DIR-882 Router for Free.
Thanks.

hmm i have the exact problem as him..called time cs and they say i am not eligible due to my contract not expiring...

Get a replacement from TIME.

My router is Tp link C1200 which shouldn't be a problem. I done the test right next to the router, and it capped at 250Mbps, TV just few meter away, it should still connected to 5Ghz bandwidth. I believe results varies depending on device we used to test it?

I just rescue the router using this method, https://www.tp-link.com/cz/faq-1482.html. It is revived now

That’s th problem lor. Didn’t scan your environment. Plus your smart phone able to developer that speed? Mine can’t lah 280only

Ya. Most infos are there already. Some people are so lazy.


Even the boss comes here to answer.

Yeah, too bad this table do not have direct URL link, else will be very useful

Hi, great to hear that you have recovered a bricked router.

Now back up to normal?

Thanks
