Ya that's why my modem/router are upstairs, next to my TV.

What router brand and model that can use for maxis?

Worry buy than cannot use. Some not compactible.

I m thinking to lay some lan cable to the TV and AV this weekend. Just lazy to drill hole.

Normally on the packaging of the router, they will have stickers saying this router support for UniFi, Maxis, Time or etc. Just go to those IT shops and take a look

If you wan to use LAN cable, you can look into Powerline adapter.

With this, you don't have to drill holes. Just plug into wall socket and you can access internet adi

Thanks. Will check it out.

I don't trust much of this powerline adaptor. Just worry it leak and surge the current/voltage into the LAN line. Damage everything. Kena this bad experience with phone line. Lightning strike.

And yesterday my NAS server LAN side cannot work anymore. Can't communicate at all. Evening got thunderstorm.

You can check out the video in the link much better to show you in animation

Well..I have never faced any major issue using powerline adapter...so far so good for me

All the AV and network thing is protect by Belkin surge protector.

Actually the power socket also fully occupy already. No more empty socket.

If my NAS LAN side also can kfc, definitely dangerous to use this adaptor.

Bye bye my NAS.

I scared liao.

No need scare la. Many yrs happen once.

Time to get another 1. Makan roti again.

I kena once many years ago, my printer got zapped by lightning because it had a built in fax machine, so connected not only to the power socket, but to the phone line. After that I buy only simple printer.

So my many years reset liao, can kena again any time.

Yes, only the foldable stand , usually in dark green color the vendors used it in pasar malam. The table top is just a ply wood. I cant find in hardware shops.

have you tried to get it from hardware shops?

It is always many yrs happen once.

Macam already fix my destiny.😭

After installing Cal-Lab Lightning isolator, I never had appliances KFC ever since. I can't recall how long but surely more than 10 years. But I do had my Cal-Lab self-destroyed twice (a process of power surge isolation ). The isolator arrest small power surges and isolate (self-destroyed) if the surge is too strong in order to protect the devices connected to it. Luckily, Cal-Lab provide lifetime damaged isolator replacement for RM25 per unit.

If you are looking for surge protection, look for a protector that can arrest small surges as well as isolate if the surge is too strong.

It is always those PC thing that get spoil. Very fragile and sensitive.

Other electrical like aircon, fridge or WM have no problem at all. This thing is 24/7 ON. And no protector.

heard of cal-lab also...this thing normally install at where a? Main power box? Wall socket?

Cal-Lab got different models for different usage.
I have 5 units of isolator protecting 5 different areas in my house. Refrigerator is running 24/7, so it gets a dedicated isolator. Other equipments protected are TV, Astro, Streaming box, modem, router, cordless phone, PC, fax, printer.
The isolator most prone to surge damaged is the one connected to cordless phone.

Wall socket. Then multi gang trailing socket. The the entire protection circuit must form an "island".

I m using Belkin for the whole AV. Another Belkin for the Network and PC.

Both serve well.

Others electrical appliances have no protector at all. But run find from day 1. Never spoil before even lightning till the RCCD trip.

Belkin seems to have a lot of negative reviews...the items behind it always kena KFC...lol

saw a lot of these kind of comments online

So far so good. Till yesterday the NAS LAN port spoil. Others still running find.

Been using Belkin for 7yrs.
