Hmm... i guess all i need is to call the management next week for more information. Hopefully they can assist me then.

Thanks anyway.

Yeah, easier to call your management and ask about those ethernet faceplate. It's common in office environment but never saw it in houses. But it's convenient tho if can properly setup cos everyone can get LAN connection instead of WiFi.

yup, you can connect port 1 to 4

Just got Time Fibre 100 Mbps, so for looks good.
However I'm not really impressed with the D-link DIR-850L router.

I have my own TP-Link Archer C7 router and want to use it instead. I had UniFi before this.

The tech guy who installed told me that all I should have to do is to change the PPPoE username and password and then I should be good to go.

Unfortunately I cannot connect. If I switch back to the D-link router (with the almost no settings) it just works...
Time Support just refers me to the manufacturer for support instead of giving me info enough for me to solve it on my own.

Anyone else in here using TP-Link with their Time Fibre who cares to share?

You have to reset the old Wi-Fi router to use.

In addition to the PPPoE username and password, you probably have to change the PPPoE settings for it to work. Do what TXSim suggested and do a reset of the router first.

Then, when setting up the router again for TIME, there should be a setting somewhere BEFORE you put in the username and password where you have to specify the PPPoE settings to be used. It should be drop-down menu somewhere where you can select 'Unifi Home' (which is probably what it was set to before), 'Unifi Biz', 'Maxis Home', etc. There should be one for 'TIME' somewhere, since I seem to remember that the Archer C7 has a fat 'TIME Fibre Broadband compatible' sticker on the box at the shops.

Since you were using your TPlink with unifi previously, your router is still probably using unifi profile with vlan tagging. You need to unselect this feature to use the router with TIME.

OK, I'll set reset the router to clean out any incompatible settins from before.
However there is no pre made TIME setting when setting up the router. Only UniFi and Maxis exists in the options menu. I already tried the wizard when I tried setting up the router a second time.

Maybe I need to update the firmware, mine is a version 2, about 1 year old and bought at a time when there was no TIME logo on the packaging.

When I tried doing a more "cleaner" setup, my router would not exept a NULL value for the VLAN tagging. All PPPoE profiles are required to have the tags. As far as I could tell. I tried the "other PPPoE service provider" option in the router when setting it up

Yes, please try to update the firmware first.

I assume you are seeing what is described in the process listed here - http://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-704.html

If after you update your firmware, and there still isn't a 'TIME mode', you may have to use 'Custom Mode' and ask your installer/technician to help... if you still have his number.

I know that when we had trouble with my parents-in-law's installation, the technician came back the next morning to help even though it was a Saturday, and it was his day off. Even declined to accept a tip my father-in-law offered him for his trouble. Nice guy! I am going to specifically REQUEST that he come do my installation as well, just so he gets the commission, incentive payment or whatever helps the broadband installers along.

U guys so lucky got time
The rest of us so pity stucked with this Tm crap

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, and start seeing things for what they are.

TIME is not wonderful, as some of the less than good opinions voiced in the previous pages have proven. They are doing just a good enough job at the moment with decent service and performance to make TM seem like mud. They have to, because they are the underdogs trying to build their customer base, and thus their income to offset their expenditure.

As not even a TIME subscriber presently, but having close family members and friends who are, I just hope TIME keeps working hard enough and not become complacent.

At the moment, they may seem like they are 5 or 10 times better than Unifi and Maxis, but as soon as they decide that being 1.1 or 1.2 times as good - i.e. just slightly better than Unifi and Maxis is enough, then it won't bode well for their subscribers.

As for the state of Unifi, it may be a bitter pill to swallow, but I still stand by my statement in the other thread about the subscribers bringing it on themselves by falling for their 'sucker born every minute' strategy. But I rest my case since most people are not willing to listen or agree. So, it'll just go downhill, but hopefully hit bottom soon.

Me, I look forward to being a TIME subscriber in late-September or early-October.

Hi. Have you tried setting up?
Do have manual PPPoE?

You don't need to setup VLAN for TIME. Go to "Quick Setup", you should see following options, choose Normal mode and then continue with the rest of setup process.

Normal Mode - You don't have applied any IPTV or VOIP service
Unifi Mode - You have applied TM Unifi service
Maxis Mode - You have applied Maxis Fiber service
Other Mode - You have applied some other ISP's service which should be configured with VLAN information.

Then go to Network -> WAN and setup as follow:
WAN Connection Type: PPPoE/Russia PPPoE
Secondary Connection: Disabled
Wan Connection Mode: Connect Automatically

My router placement in my condo is just 1 feet away from where my sofa is so pretty sure that's the sweetest spot in the house Tried fidgeting with the channels, upgraded to the latest firmware available, reset and reconfigured the router but the results are the same. On the current Time 100Mbps line, I am only able to achieve around 40+Mbps on wifi but can hit 80-90+ Mbps on LAN. Since the fibre was pulled all the way to my modem and not the last-mile-copper types, that rules out any cabling issues considering my speed on LAN is very much acceptable.

Of course I tried my luck emailing Time Support and complained about the Linksys E1200 router they gave me 2 years ago. Here's their response:

"Please be inform that the given Cisco Linksys E1200 router is run on 2.4Ghz radio frequency band which can support up to 40Mbps on WiFi. We regret to inform that we do not offer any router replacement. You may purchase the dual band router on your own or purchase the router from TIME through our selfcare portal."

So all things considered, does this mean I really need to get a new router to hit the promised land of 100Mbps and stop flogging the old E1200?

Checked the official link here: http://www.linksys.com/my/p/P-E1200/

Still find it hard to accept the E1200 can only support up to 40Mbps on WiFi.

Just buy a new AC dual band router.
but also make sure ur wiless device got AC or 5G signal

got upgraded to 300 Mbps. ori modem and TL-WR1043ND V2 router.
Still cannot get advertised speed (240Mbps) on wifi.
i get around 60++ download and 70+ upload.
anyone knows whats the issue?
anyone got 300 mbps?

because it is single band wifi router..
2.4G max can get 9xMbps

sorry ar boss but the specs says

4 10/100/1000Mbps LAN Ports
11n: Up to 450Mbps(dynamic)

so it doesn't really makes sense to me >.<
anything useful i can read up?
