Maybe that particular rapidgator server for that file is having probs. Have you tried a different file just to check?

Also try a different browser.

Are you on 2.4 or 5GHz when the problem occurs? Some installers like to separate the wifi and some not.

In my uncle's house, the installer setup the same SSID for both freqs. My phone preferred connecting to 5Ghz and it was just not good enough for the whole house. So we separated them and connected only to the 2.4Ghz SSID and that pretty much covered the whole house with adequate signal.

How do you tell which channel the device is on if the SSIDs are the same?

And it's happening in areas where you're confident that you have good signal from the router?

Have you looked into interference from neighbours?

The only thing I can think of is that your phone is sending a lot of retransmits which uses up battery. The router isn't receiving as well as the DIR-615. Adjust its location, change channels are some of the usual things to try. Do your testing one frequency at a time so you have fewer variables.

Was it from 03-26015000? Anybody on RM179 Advance 30 received a similar offer?

Me too even 219 or 224 also I'll go for it.

Odd that you're having so many probs with it. I think it's a fantastic router for its price (RM0). Are you getting full 30mbps for Speedtest?

I have one. Though I don't use the one I have, I do use the RGX4400 at a local coffee shop almost everyday and have had nothing but smooth wifi. It's good enough to handle all the customers in this coffee shop without rebooting for many days. Longest uptime so far is 8 days. In fact I'm here right now writing this.

1. No probs with maybank2u. Tried both Chrome normal and incognito.
2. Don't game but battle.net looking glass is giving me ping average 255ms to US WoW.
3. Speed feels fast to me. The coffee shop is on UniFi Biz 100mbps.
4. No CCTV but my uncle's house, also RGX4400, has a NAS running an FTP server. Port forwarded from 2121 to 21. No probs also.
5. Whatsapp also normal.
6. Youtube OK too.
7. Tested torrent here last week, was getting 80+mbps on 4 well-seeded torrents. And can still surf on phone while torrent was running so the interface queues seems to be working somewhat well.
8. Facebook seems OK.

Tested on MacBook Pro Retina 13" 2011 on 5Ghz AC. Router is more or less default config. No changes to DNS config.

To set your own DNS servers:



mydyory, just guessing here since you didn't state the model of your router but it's Opr@XXXX where XXXX is the last 4 characters of the MAC address.

I just remembered something, I disabled IPV6 for the coffee shop's router. I think that's the only thing I did to the router that differs from the defaults.

When you're having all those probs, are you on wifi or wired? Maybe wifi interference or something. Or as you said, could be just a bad unit.

Screenshot time:

Check the IPV6 Status. Should be empty under WAN.


Oh yeah, the RGX4400, for a free router, is freaking awesome. The coffee shop which I started frequenting recently uses it with Unifibiz 100. Day in, day out, never misses a beat. So far longest is 8 days uptime. And that's because I restarted it after some configuration. Very impressed with it.

hellforce, I was wondering did the installer set separate SSIDs for your 2.4GHz and 5 GHz wifi? or a single SSID for both? I'm not sure if I asked you this before, when you encounter the problems that you mentioned, were you on wifi? Have you tested while connected with a cable?

If you search in this thread, and maybe V25, for RGX4400, you'll see some of the tests (speed, bittorrent, cpu, mem, etc) that I did at the coffee shop with the RGX4400.

hellforce seems to be having some probs with his.

My uncle also has RGX4400. Covers his whole 3-storey terrace on 2.4GHz. 5GHz cannot.

I like it so much that I bought one from a fellow forumer. Not sure what I'm going to use it for yet.

Nice catch mztang52, I didn't notice that. The gateway is definitely a private IP address.

hellforce what IP address were you assigned (first 2 numbers will good enough to tell from)? If it's also a private address then it'll be the first time I've seen Unifi do this. It'll also explain why your CCTV doesn't work.

Good question, I think it's like this.

Let's assume we use 8.8.8.8 as our custom DNS.

Service/DHCP
1. If you use "Set Manually" and you key-in your custom DNS servers here, it should give out those DNS to your PCs and phones.
(so your PCs should get 8.8.8.8 for DNS server)


2. If you use "Use DNS Relay" then the router becomes the DNS server and it will use the DNS set in the Service/DNS Server section.
(your PCs should get 192.168.0.1 for DNS server)


Service/DNS Server
1. Auto: it will use the DNS servers assigned from TM via PPPoE
(sarawakreport goes to MCMC)
2. Manual: it will the DNS servers entered here.
(if manual, not sure if it will ignore the DNS from PPPoE or use it in addition to the manual ones)
(sarawakreport accessible)

I'll test it out when I go to the RGX4400 coffee shop next. Today I'm at the coffee shop with Maxis 20mbps and Thomson router. Yucks.

Update: Just verified that the above is how it works.

Good router but RM900! I think too much overkill for 30-100mbps Unifi. Won't see any performance difference from, say a free RGX4400, for 20 users or less. PC to notebook file transfers should fly provided your notebook has better than 2x2 AC. Perhaps the feature set makes up for it. Anyone care to comment on Wifi performance?

Check the reviews and see what they say. I've only used the cheaper models of TP-Link and Asus. I'm sure the premium models of both TPLink and Asus are quite good.

Nice, I can't tell on my iPhone, that's why I always have separate SSIDs.

Maybe time to take a step back and see what's going on. Suggest you reset the router, configure from scratch with 2.4Ghz only (or 5GHz only) and test again. If still problem, maybe router hardware fault. Could be just a loose antenna cable. Happened to me before.

iTunes is slow (3-5mbps )again since last night. :-(

I'm on 60.54.x.x since June 14. Gateway same 60.54.x.x. Anyway private or not for gateway is not a problem. My office is 175.x and gateway 10.x after a reboot this morning. I guess somebody at TM just realise that they don't need a public IP for their gateway.

Just tried, It's OK, random video, 1080p, youtube buffers at full 30mbps speed. IP 60.54.x.x.

iTunes app store still slow as hell.

I'm quite sure UPNP works with the RGX4400. I was testing bittorrent the other day with uTorrent and I think I would have noticed it if it wasn't green. Will double check tomorrow.

For port forwarding. Here's an example.

10-15 to where? If local speedtest then no. Still getting full 30mbps.
