Just ported to TIME 300 mpbs yesterday, stupidly forgot my device capability cant reach full speed.

So here is the questions, will it solve if i got the DLink DWA-182 adapter?

The router is the DIR-850L

Say the router is just beside my face, will i get a decent speed about 200mpbs+?

Ill leave the spare 100mpbs to the rest of the family using it when im streaming stuff

Actually no-one is using for Netflix and Twitch. The daily application is general web browsing and probably YouTube/Spotify. Office is open-concept so no-one really watches movies.

My first assumption was the default router couldn't handle the number of connections (i.e. 10 users x 2 devices).

I have done a Speedtest and it is about 80-90% of our plan rate. So it looks alright.

I will look at starting with 1 user then slowly adding more users to see what happens. It could be a user that is torrenting, and we don't know off. 
jjj2 : what's the estimate price range for Business Routers for 10-20 people setup?
Thanks all...

Hi all sifu, what is the main requirement if wanna buy n change TIME router? sorry not familiar with router.
For example:

- max speed. at least 100mbps to.........
- router cobfiguration that require by TIME???
- router type a, b, c, d, e.......? TIME is what type?
- 2.4g or 5g or greater is better?

1. Xiaomi router 3.
2. B-link BL- AC886M.
3.Huawei WS550.

Please help to choose the best n reasonable price router.

hello,

I just upgraded from 100Mbps to 300Mbps. The current router I am using is Dlink 850L model.

When I using wired connection to test speed, it's about above 250+ / 280+ using host server from TIME.

So, when I am using iPhone6+, the wifi test speed is about average 80-90+ Mbps and won't go above 100Mbps. (Using 5G mode). When I put my phone on top of the router, the speed will go above 180-200Mbps only.

It the current router (dlink 850L) is not that good? Or can you recommend a good router to improve wifi connection within the house?

thanks.

thanks for the reply, blackubi.

Can you recommend which type of suitable router that not that expensive. Of course the wifi must be good.

mine also.

all my devices using wifi, gets speeds of +- 20-30mbps, all except one. my mom's xiaomi mi3. hers can get the usual 100mbps speed. Weird why ah.

I read on this matter before something about the router but i totally forgotten what is it about already.
can someone educate me on that or give me a link to read.

is it anything to do with 2.4ghz vs 5ghz wifi?

that was literally the first thing i did to check it..
if you are near the router, you get better speeds (but still in the 20-30mbps region), as compared to when you are further away.

and when i tested the mi3, it was in another room.

Lol...the wifi strength of DIR 850L is really pathetic.

HI Bro,

Great to see that...we tested this Router at a small office of 3 storeys...signal strength is very much comparable to Asus AC3200.

Proven    Thanks.

Hi, thanks for subscribing TIME Fibre.

Arrange the place where you want to install the Router, ONU and DECT Phone

There will be drilling needed

Prepare 3 available socket for the equipment

I hope your installation smoothly on this coming Saturday

Should be done in less then 1 hour if no issue. No drilling required if standard installation for prelaid building. Usually devices will be put next to the fiber termination outlet, next to power point. Might have charge if installer need to terminate your internal cat5e cabling or help you setup other devices not related to ISP equipment etc. Check the rate with them before proceeding.

If you building is not prelaid then the installation will be between 3-4 hour as the installer will have to pull fiber optic cable to the nearest splitter inside riser. Standard installation free of charge is one point of entry hole and 15m of fiber. Any more than that got charge. Again check with the installer before proceed.

you can request the pppoe username n password from the installer and let them know you will configure the router yourself 

Fiber termination outlet is the thing like below installed at wall when the building still under construction. If it a fiber termination box with maxis logo pulled previously by maxis installer then your building is not prelaid and Time installer will have to pull a new fiber into your home, can't use maxis cable since both ISP have their own splitter at riser.

Yes the pppoe credentials will be provided & written on the docket to hand over to you to sign after they completed the Installation.

Not much settings to set, what you need is to request the pppoe login credentials from the SI and configure yourself into your own router.

If you request the SI to configure for you, they can charge you RM80 depending on them.

Thanks.

Hi Bro,

You need to make sure this prelaid fibre cabling is genericly designed for FTTx use. Usually done by your developer or management hired some contractors to do it for the entire building.

If so, no much to worry as the installation of the ONU (aka fiber modem) will be installed at the location of the FWS (fiber wall socket) or in the DP/DB distribution box.

If you need any help, let me know.

Thanks.

nice! 

i can only dream about it.. 

i've thought about it. But I need to find someone that's willing to do it. UniFi is available at landed properties opposite my apartment. I even tried to ask if anyone willing to share their connections with me but none get back to me so far.
