Agreed but the "unifi standard router" prefers to remain anonymous for now.

Afaik, no notification whatsoever on suspension. All you get is authentication error in your router logs and outgoing phone calls results in a recorded message.

Current price is RM199 for 30mbps and Aneka, Varnam or Ruby. Ruby used to be RM10 more. Don't think there's any other promo.

8-9MB/s is expected for the RG4332 since it has 100mbps ethernet ports. Assuming the bottleneck is neither the NAS nor the PC then changing to a router or switch with gigabit ports will definitely give you faster transfer rates.

Have you tried a direct connection from NAS to PC? Just to test the max transfer rate.

Is your RG4332 still under warranty? If so and you can find something to complain about it or if it suddenly stops working then you can file a report and TM should replace it for you for free. I have no idea what replacement router they'd give though and not sure if you can request for a specific model.

Can, most ethernet ports are Auto MDI-X (auto crossover) so you can use your usual Cat5E to connect from NAS straight to PC. Configure your IP addresses if not done so already and test away. In the rare case that both ethernet ports for the PC and the NAS are not Auto MDI-X then you'll need a crossover ethernet cable.

Your RG4332 is under warranty since you upgraded to UniFi 30. Now you need to find something to complain about it in order for TM to change it for you. However the 100mbps ethernet ports are probably not grounds for a complaint.

The cheapest option, if you can't get TM to replace the router, is to get a cheap 5-port gigabit switch and connect your NAS, PC and router to it. Maybe cost around RM60?

Next option is to replace the RG4332, at your own cost, with a new router with Gb ports. I saw a WTS here for a DIR-850L for RM180, personally bought a RGX4400 for RM50 also from here or perhaps a new Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD (one of my favourite routers) for RM380.

For you to compare:
My old and cheap DNS-323 NAS can only manage 15-20MB/s.
PC to PC I get 90MB/s sustained.
*Rough figures from memory, Cat5E cabling, all gigabit network.

What NAS are you using? I see that it is a D-Link from your other thread but the URL you posted is not working.

Yah, what 1 yr? I thought free for all?

Not many in V26, V25 should have a lot. This one specially for you.

Your room is different floor, right?

RT-N14UHP antenna gain (9 dBi) is too high. So all the power is concentrated on a horizontal plane which is your ground floor. You get good reception downstairs? Even outside the house?

Anyway to cover both floors well, you should be looking at a wifi router which has lower gain antenna. Max 3-4 dBi if your ceiling is not too high. Do you still have your old TM router? What model is it?

I don't think Asus publishes their wifi radiation patterns so have to buy, try and see.

Or if you add one more wired RT-N14UHP for 1st floor, it'll be perfect.

Of course, could be other factors also like your Prolink, the Asus' antenna receive sensitivity, interference from neighbour's wifi, thick walls, aquariums, etc... As for wall penetration, 2.4GHz radio waves are the same regardless of where they come from. I don't know the transmit power of the Asus but most routers nowadays are transmitting at the MCMC allowed max EIRP of 27 dBm (500mW).

If single storey house or condo then it's perfect.


The RG4332 theoretically should be OK but practically it sucks. Maybe its transmit power not high enough. I dunno. How was it before you bought the Asus?

Is the RG4332 still under warranty? Maybe try to get it replaced with a RGX4400 or 850L. The RGX4400 is quite good. 3dBi antenna transmitting at max allowed power for Malaysia. It covers my uncle's 3-storey house quite well. Some details here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=80665881

Also depends on the house size, if too big then one just won't be enough.

In order of preference:
1. Wired Access Point (can be your old router)
2. Powerline AP (house 3 phase or single phase TNB?)
.
.
.
128. Wifi extender/repeater

Really avoid wifi repeaters if you can. Due to external factors, hard to get them to work consistently.

Edit: How about angling your Asus antennas? Think of the wifi like a flying saucer perpendicular to the antennas and aim for your room. Worth a try.

What router? VDSL or Fibre? Ping to where?

100ms is very very bad, have you complain to TM? I usually get 40-50ms.

For speed, 80MHz or 160MHz. 80 Mhz is far more common.

Free from TM: RGX4400 Very good (maybe also DIR-850L)
RM200: Huawei WS880 (More or less the same thing as RT-AC86U RM1000+ , Linksys EA6900 & Netgear R7000)

If you like to tinker with router: Mikrotik (RM160+)

Didn't you get a new router from TM? RGX4400 or DIR-850L?
