Living in Apartment, any router that only using b,g,n and no AC support is pointless if you want to get good WiFi connection. Ethernet is no problem though.

Sorry for a very late reply.
After updating my TP-Link to the latest firmware, it worked right after completing the installation wizard. No problems there. However I feel my 5Ghz is very unstable with this firmware. I quite often lose connection and go on the 2.4Ghz instead. 5Ghz cannot find until I restart the router. For now I'm using the Dlink provided by Time...

When I closed my UniFi account, they didn't want to take back the HyppTV box. The guy even told us some customers that changed to Maxis fibre can continue to use it. Right now I have the HyppTV box at home collecting dust.

Does anyone have experience using back a HyppTV box using Time fibre?
Not sure whether Time supports IPTV or not.

Agreed. But even on ethernet connection, I never able to get real speed (not the speedtest). Usually just around 4-5MB/s only. With my ethernet card, at least 10MB/s shouldn't be a problem. I cannot complain to Time CS because the speedtest can reach 90Mbps+. But I've tried download from multiple servers, same result.

It would be nice if someone could give me some link that they themselves able to get download speed more than 10MB/s.

And another thing is, new subscription for 300Mbps get DLink router for RM189. But mine, for RM179, only given crappy ZTE router. My subscription start on 13 March, if not mistaken. If I wait for a few days until they revised the package, I could get better DLink router for RM10 more.

Is it possible to request for Time to provide service to my apartment if my apartment is not currently in their coverage area? How do I do that? I am in Penang area currently paying RM 170 for 6mbps of streamyx. T.T

Saying this may sound like a not so important tip, but have you try different ethernet cable? I have dozens at home, and I notice so much difference when I try to switch between some of them. Your network card settings also have some feature like "Green Ethernet" or "Power Saving Mode" and so on. That can affect the connection as well.

Then again, if you are using the stock router no matter what your situation is, switching to a better router is the less headache way.

Try this link.

My HYPPTV box (Huawei EC6108V) can work with TIME broadband. Just that the HYPPTV application will no longer functioning bcz it need an username n password.

I install quite a lot of android apps (e.g MoreTV) to stream chinese movies, dramas n live tv.

Yes, I've tried with multiple cables, both CAT5E and CAT6.
I thought only wireless card have the power saving thing?

You read my mind! Haha. Planning to try downloading those image tonite. The server support 1Gbps and it's local mirror, so should able to get decent speed.

Is there something going on with Time's backend now?

My Astro-Time 30Mbps is continually being reset to 10Mbps only. But if I boost I will get 40 Mbps. Astro technician said this is currently a large widespread issue among Astro-Time users :/

Hi guys, who got lobang that can help me install TIME Fibre at Kenanga Wholesale City with personal?

Thanks to yeapch01 , I am able to switch from Astro to Time by giving 1 month termination notice to Astro. Supposedly the switch starts on 26th Apr but Time technician called me for earlier switching.

Using the same fiber and swapping old GPON with new one and also the DLink DIR-850L, I am able to ride the 300Mbps wagon.

Speed improvement is significant, video streaming is started just a snap of fingers.

Isn't it a hassle to snap a finger every time you want to start a video?

jk.

300Mbps at home sounds like a heaven to me.

Hi guys,

Just an update for my previous post on my router giving me very slow speeds on TIME's 300mbps.

The technician came over, identified that connecting directly to the Hua Wei Modem gives me 300 mbps on speedtest.net . Connecting the modem to the router only gives a 7 mbps result on Ethernet. And yea, the technician was still not able to find out what is causing the problem. Will wait for TIME's response on that.

In the mean time, does anyone know any settings on the DLINK router that can cause speed to reduce drastically? I have tested Cat6, Cat5e cables and tried resetting the router. Any help would be much appreciated.

HI bro,

The DIR850L did you adjust any settings or are u using the defaults? Im having only 7Mbps speed on the 300MBPS line.

Not sure whether this will helps or not, last time when I change the Feature >> QOS setting on the router the speed reduce drastically.

I'm using the same router, DIR-850L

Hi,

Try to reload the upcoming firmware...though this has been a known bug for some tp-link routers...if possible try to update the driver for your wireless adapter as well...

Thanks.

Please screenshots the settings under Settings>Internet to me.

If you don't mind, I will remote in to check your settings.

Pm me if you need further help.

Thanks.

The actually download speed is really dependable on many factors such as geographical distance of your source server, server load, session/per IP bandwidth limitation, routing paths etc...

In real world, unless a P2P dedicated connection, it's hard to achieve the theory speed.

You can enjoy the special price for Linksys AC1200+ EA6350 router at a special price of RM500..

Thanks.

Hi Bro,

Yes you are right...such issues have been noticed since last week.

Make sure you get your report number to follow up the case easier later with Astro CS.

Thanks.
