If not anything else, it'll be useful as a dual-band AP. I mean it's free right?

I'll snap pics of it tomorrow but RGX4400 looks exactly the same as the RG4332 with additional one USB3 and one USB2 port at the back. It's the standard Innacomm silver box. I bought one from a forumer for RM50 but the one I've been using most is the one at the coffee shop. I'm so damn impressed with its performance. It doesn't have fancy features but it has SSH, telnet, FTP and even snmp. Not sure if it has SMB. Almost 90MB free ram on boot. The web interface is really fast. Basic looking but quite complete. Even has an ARP table. It reminds me of a Mikrotik. Maybe that's why I like it so much.

I know I keep on harping about snmp but I use it to monitor some routers and servers.

Most routers above are Mikrotiks. The one with only a few status box are not. They either don't have snmp or have snmp that don't work.

i am using RGX4400 as well, but i found that it takes longer time to load COC, instagram and even on normal browsing compared to my old RG4332. just wonder do i need and special setting on the router? also my phone will auto discounet from the wifi randomly after certain time i dont use it, do note that i did not switch on power saving mode on my phone and this does not happen last time when i was using RG4332. Just wondering the discounetion issue is caused by the power saving mode?

What's your speedtest like?

The RGX4400 that I use is at a coffee shop. I'm usually there lunch or dinner so consider peak time. About 20-30 devices. Performance still very good. They're on 100mbps, I guess that helps. As far as the router is concerned, it's on default config. The only setting that I can see that might affect performance is QOS. Currently it's set to "fair competition."

Can't say about the disconnection. Haven't really noticed it since I'm on a notebook when I'm there.

speed wise, i manage to get full speed, 33mbps down and 10mbps up.. however i am not sure whats the issue causing slow loading on image on wifi, when i am using LAN quite smooth.. as for the QOS mine is set as fair competition as well this come by default when TM technician setting up the router. i've tried factory reset and configure it again, still same result though..

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.

Just wondering, DNS setting is not under DNS server? because after i changed to google dns under DHCP, in my DNS status still showing TM DNS.

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.

I am confused rclxub.gif
In short, if i want all my devices connected to my wifi with google DNS, which one should i change? Service/DHCP or Service/DNS Server?

So i guess it's the router compatibility with p2p...

I still remember i get 400Kb/s and up with old DIR-615 router... and only changed it since it always giving no internet access ...

Both also can. But if you want all devices get google dns when they are connected to your router.

Apologies for confusing you.

Both ways also can. The one with fewer steps is:

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

That's it.
-----

Service/DNS Server is only used when Service/DHCP is set to "Use DNS Relay".

Thanks notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
I follow the service/DHCP method thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif

Guys I need suggestion. Currently i am using Asus RT-N14UHP located at ground floor living hall, but when i am in my room using PC connect to WiFi, the WiFi signal is very poor, manage to get 1/2 bar only and do a speed test only get <10mbps out of 30mbps.
So my question is, could it be my WiFi adapter is weak or the router has poor wall penetration? I am using prolink WiFi adapter (PAN2001) though. Any solution to improve my speed on my PC?

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).

The reason i bought this model because of the antenna thought can cover all area of my house but i was wrong...so 'long antenna' does not mean strong coverage? Yes, the wifi is strong even outside the gate of my house..

Does that mean those normal router antenna is good enough for house with average ceiling height? Yes, it is still working, RG4332.

Other than adding one more similar router, is there any other method? Powerline? Wifi extender?
