QUOTE(raynman @ Aug 10 2016, 12:08 AM) One more thing you can try. Thanks. Just done as per your advice. Go to Wireless --> Professional. Under Tx power adjustment, drag the slider from default 'Balance' to "Performance' and see if it helps.    Will this router go on idle mode when not using it?  |

QUOTE(raynman @ Aug 10 2016, 12:36 AM) You mean the router goes into power-saving mode and shutdown WIFI transmission/reception? Yes. I just want to find out the possibility for my issue. Mine also 24/7 and so far other devices are OK.From my experience, no. My router is powered on 24/7 unless there is a power trip. And I don't experience any WIFI dropouts at all for all my devices.  I'm not sure if it is because of my old card - Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030 since it is only single band.  I have been using this laptop for 5 years and no such issue until I changed to this router.  |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 11 2016, 07:04 PM) Instead of letting the router go, why not just change the WiFi card? Well, will that definitely help? You can find lots of replacement WiFi card in eBay. Cheap too PS: eBay international, not eBay Malaysia  I will monitor in the mean time first. |

QUOTE(raynman @ Aug 16 2016, 09:22 AM) Hi fruitie, is your Dell Vostro laptop getting along with the WS880? Hello, I haven't turned on my laptop for few days, went back to hometown and came back yesterday but using my Android box to watch badminton matches. I will try using it soon and report here. |

QUOTE(Khalid21 @ Aug 18 2016, 05:15 PM) Today got new TM router dlink 850.. That means your area also capped already. Mine capped since months ago. Many too face the same problem. My friend still gets 32Mbps on her stock silver router, she is in Cheras. Not bad for free router.. Still manage 28mbps download Good coverage compare to Asus n56 WS880 sligly better on speed consistency * TM Techician said 30mbps already max on their system User only can get 28mbps max |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 19 2016, 11:14 AM) Hmm.. Kalau VDSL normal lah because copper will deteriorate after a few years, speed pun akan turun It is... But if on FTTH pun macam tu, maybe it's true what fruitie said that TM is gradually limiting all UniFi 30Mb/s users by areas to a maximum of 30Mb/s  Just matter of time when all will be affected.   |

So, it is not the router issue, I already have this issue before I changed to this router...
TM technician came and said it is more than normal, since above 24Mbps. He said I was just lucky to have more than 30Mbps earlier, so can't argue much unless it is below 24Mbps. |

My laptop seems to be working well with this router. Weeks of occasionally monitoring but I don't see any sudden inactivity of Internet anymore.
Not sure if it is the latest network driver or Tx power adjustment in the wireless settings helps, or both. |

Oh oh. I spoke too soon. The inactivity just happened but at least it will show a yellow exclamation sign and with disconnected wording. Earlier, no sign and nothing but just no data packet...
