It's likely one these things:
1. Your router needs a reboot or firmware update.
1. Your local cabling is not optimal. (Try switching out cables with new ones)
1. The connection from your apartment to your building switch is not optimal.
2. The connection between your building switch and the telco exchange is not optimal.

*I have the AC68U too and there's a Jan 2016 firmware update. Can even give the March beta update a try too. Solid kit but I use it just for the access point.

I use Merlin latest firmware.. quite good bro

I'm using maxis 10mb fibre and paying rm148 a month. Just saw this and if I pay rm149 I can get 100mb instead!!!

Wow... Maxis has a lot to catch up... The thing is, is this line stable? Any catch point consider it so cheap? For 100mb maxis charge rm3xx per month.

Time available in limited area, and mostly high rise building..

Maxis using TM infrastructure.. thats the point.

I don't think you are wrong to think that way. Yes, value for money wise, it is way better than TM. But that is using TM to justify the means, which I don't agree.

The fact is, I paid for 300Mbps and I think I should be getting the full speed. Of course, there are stuff like degradation along the cables and etc. But then... if they can offer 500Mbps on the same cable, then I don't see why my speed cannot get full.

If that is the way fibre works where the actual speed is always 80% of the "port" speed, then they should make sure their port is set to 375Mbps. Customer got no control over the quality of fibre cables (which are owned by Time).

I'm not an expert in fibre, but i definitely know that I paid for 300Mbps but I'm only getting 260Mbps.

In my experience & opinion as follow:

Facts:
1. When i subscribe for 15Mbps connection Time will give around 17Mbps
2. When i upgrade to 20Mbps Time will give around 22-23Mbps
3. When Time upgrade me to 300Mbps from 20Mbps Time will give 300Mbps and my Speedtest shows max 297 (never above 300)

I realize even when you are using cable, some cable perform less than it claimed to be. perhaps you can try change the cable.

Speedtest results might affected by the speedtest host server & server connection performance.

Try speedtest direct from modem (ensuring no one else or any apps using the net in the background)

Or do the speedtest right after yo ureset the router and modem as soon as the connection back online.


I think they give 100% but what we receive around 85-90% and in my case i receive 98% icon_rolleyes.gif

1. TIME Huawei original modem (came with initial registration)

2. Asus RT-N12HP_B1

3. Wireless N300 USB Adapter (Connected to USB3 port currently)

Thanks for help in advance!

ASUS AC RT68U user who are using Merlin Firmware, beware prior upgrading to the latest Merlin ver 380.59

Better keep back up of 380.58 version. the latest version is not compatible (having issues with connectivity)
