My Aunty is with DIR-850L. So far, she says the router has no problem. It is a good router.

Sounds good. On paper, the DIR-850L and the RGX4400 expected to be same in performance. Different processor but quite similar. Both 128MB RAM but no idea about the amount of free RAM in the DIR-850L. The RGX4400 has about 60MB free at bootup which is a good amount.

Got my Unifi 30 yesterday. Not a smooth flow. Disappointed with TM's work practice with multiple unifi installers calling me to book the installation time. Later the installer did not come on time. Those who took time off from work for installation will be really pissed off. Ha.

When they came, it went smoothly. Impressed with their quality of work except a 2 by 3 inches wall cement piece came off on the outside wall as they used the hammering drill to drill the small hole. Should not use the hammering mode though slower with normal drilling.

I got the DL 850L. So far, happy with it. Can feel the faster browsing when turning pages on The Star, faster response when going from one menu to the sub menu in Kodi, watched Game of Thrones (season 2) 1080p without buffering (yes, I am a few years behind on this show), wife's HP browsing is faster now using the higher dual wifi speed on 850L.

Some questions:

AA
on the BTU, port 1 goes to 850L, 3 unused ports. OK to use these 3 LAN ports? One will say just plug it in and see. But I prefer to check first. Or are they utilised by the router?

BB
2 phone ports. Without any phone cable plugged it, tel 1 light is on. Does that mean only tel 1 is configured and can be used? Just plug in tel 2 and see! Ha.

CC
For the free iflix & viu for new Unifi ac, these do not sit inside HypTV right? Asked the installer, he does not know.

DD
Saw on the Service Acceptance Form today that they stated Business Registration. Should be for home use only. If no complication later (upgrade etc), I will just leave it. Signed that without reading the whole 3 pages. Tip for future friends who will be installing Unifi, read the 3 pages forms BEFORE they ask you to sign! Ha.

Cheerio.
P/S Learnt from the installer that the F Optic cable is 2 cores, ie 2 optic lines in 1 cable. Only 1 core is used. Maybe the 2nd core is used if they have problem with the first one or for future parallel usage? Like the multi CPU trend now?
*
some of the answer based on my understanding:

aa- lan port on BTU is reserved for another line if you want to add later... mean one btu can go up to 4 account...

bb- as above, if you have extra account, another will be attached to tel 2...

cc- you may use on any devices as long attached to unifi account... it is like auto subscribe... for iflix... viu not sure...

Thanks!

Now makes sense on my AA & BB. The cable is actually 3 cores (installer says 2 cores though I can see 3 separate colored tubings inside).

Tried tel 2 port. Cannot use it.

iflix and vui are outside HypTV, need to register etc etc. Looks like Netflix which I have tried and I don't really like it.

Cheerio.

Because normally, the fiber cable only needs one to send data and the other one to receive data. TX and RX.

Interesting. I thought I read from somewhere that 1 core is for both downloading and uploading. I was reading that as I wanted to know whether uploading "eats" up your Mbps or not.

May be new tech is changing that now with dedicated core for each. That will be good.

Cheerio.

Not sure because I always see the fiber optic cable with TX and RX. Also, one singlecore fiber cable can support up to 10Gbps. So... I think it wont affect your download speed.

I think if marketing people call you, OK to upgrade without impacting your current contract. They will just restart your contract.

Only thing is, you will not get new eqpt (router, phone etc).

Call TM to find out more.

actually single core capable to do the rx and tx....that is the way of light transmission where different wavelength can be used on tx and rx...

the core you see might be not a core, but the cable to strengthen the fiber cable as fiber are easy to break.

actually tm using GPON technology where at the pole, they distribute single core to 8 channel/point. one big cable normally had 8 core and the split each core to 8 point... that why when the port is is full, there is very hard to get port opening as they need to layout another cable...easy way is wait another people terminate unifi. (i already saw the 8 core fiber when stupid people cut fiber at my place. tm contractor need to rewire and to install back from last point to distribution point...)

hope you understand... this is based on my understanding on fiber. maybe got wrong info...
