Interesting

Ubiquiti GPON Nano G

https://www.ubnt.com/ufiber/ufiber-nano-g/

Most likely Unifi compatible ONU.

Affordable pricing...

Looks like it is compatible with the kind of OLT TM uses.
I believe we still need to obtain the PON password. Newer ONU from TM are locked down. sad.gif

1. PON authentication may require serial number + password. If the ISP won't change the serial number for you, your ONU must support changing the serial number. Until Ubiquity publish the documentation about this, don't bother about it.

2. If you are using Huawei, you might want to try the default superadmin (telecomadmin) account. I managed to login to it last year on but later Time has updated the configuration remotely & changed the password. For Time, the password is same as the PPPoE password if I remember correctly. You can try the following steps at your own risk

3. Don't bother about SFP ONU. The configuration can only be pushed from the OLT provisioning. It is meant more for service provider or corporate user. I doubt your ISP will even entertain you if you are just home or low tier business subscriber. I have a gpon onu sfp module collecting dust because of this.

New ONU from TM is fully locked down. WEBUI, SSH and Telnet all disabled by default. Pretty much out of luck for new TM subscribers.

I can confirm the PON password is same as the PPPOE password for Time.

Looks like TM UniFi got their name from Ubiquiti Networks. By the way Aruba Networks > Ubiquiti Networks. Strong, stable, high throughput on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Once you go Aruba or Ruckus you'll never look back.
*
They are not in the same league, they are much more expensive as well. Not to mention that you need a controller to unlock the full potential of those system. UBNT is more on SME I believe.

I heard the new AC HD from UBNT is pretty good performance wise. May use it to replace some older Ruckus if it is that good.

Hi can you propose which item to be used ? Present premises is 3,000 sft single floor condominium. Difficult to get wifi coverage all over the unit. Worse when we close the bedroom doors. Thanks.

If you got the money to spend, the setup below will work really well. You will need Ethernet drops to connect the AP anyways.
3x UAP-AC-PRO, US-8-60W and USG hooked up to your existing ISP modem.

For a lower budget solution, just get an Asus router and run powerline wireless extender.

so is the edge router x + ap ac pro, a good combination?
how about comparing unifi nano hd & ap ac pro, which is better?
can i put the ap on the shelf? i cant mount it on the ceiling as I'm renting this place.

my home is 1400sqf condo, the green color area is the current location that i put my router, if i put the ap at this same area. can the 5g cover the whole house?

Edge router configuration is different to Unifi series so you may need some experience in that.

You can put it on the shelf but ceiling will give you the best performance.

I prefer the nanoHD as it is a newer radio. You should consider the Amplifi lineup if you are into UBNT, it is more suitable for your case.

Correct me if I am wrong Ubiquiti is a enterprise grade hardware/software but selling at cheaper price?

It's kinda hard to justify the price difference between these hardware and those cheaper Chinese brand.
*
I would just call it SME grade. For enterprise level, you will be looking at Ruckus, Aruba or Cisco. It depends what you want, if you just want some simple WLAN network, cheap China generics will do.

Many advanced features like central monitoring, VLAN multi AP, seamless roaming and AP steering are not available on cheaper brands.

Not to mention that UBNT radios are actually pretty decent in terms of interference mitigation which is crucial in an office with 50 devices next to each other.

Ubiquiti Dream Machine is much better, and cheaper too. I don't really see why you want to get the Alien. Wifi AX?
*
The only thing I can thought of is the superior mesh Wi-Fi performane due to the tri-band hardware for dedicated wireless backhaul.

Works great when adding a new Ethernet pull is not an option.

Just curious but is 6E officially certified in Malaysia?

My iP15Pro and Z Fold 3 is unable to apparently detect 6E, wanted to move to full Ubiquiti from Omada

EAP670 > U6 Enterprise but if 6E is shotty, I might as well just wait for BE access points to become available whistling.gif

Yes, 6GHz band is already allowed by MCMC.

My local Phone 15 Pro is able to connect to the 6GHz band of Archer BE800 from TP-Link.

Z Fold 3 6GHz band is disabled by Samsung Malaysia.

Good to hear that 6GHz is allowed now. I read that 6GHz not enabled yet for s23 ultra too.
*
It's amazing, able to get around 1.6Gbps if within the same room as the AP.

However the range is bad, signal is pretty much gone after 2 walls.

Samsung claims to enable 6GHz on software update but not sure whether they did it at the end.

So line of sight speed improved and I guess it fall back to 5GHz with walls? U6 Enterprise price is high. I can buy 2 U6 Pro for about the same price  hmm.gif
*
Yup, ultra high speed but very limited range. 6GHz will never replace 5GHz as you need a ton APs if you have total 6GHz coverage.

Once over 1-2 walls, 5GHz will perform better than 6GHz Wi-Fi 6E 160MHz bandwidth most of the time.

Wi-Fi 7 boost the 6GHz bandwidth to 320MHz but I don't have a 320MHz capable device to test it. Again, you need client with Wi-Fi 7 and 320MHz support to benefit from it.

Currently the biggest issue is band steering, 6GHz to 5GHz switching is super janky and nobody manage to get MLO working reliably.

Ubiquiti U7 series is having a ton of issues with IoT devices. Been testing U7 Pro at my family's place for a week but it's so unstable with smart home devices.

Reverting back to U6 Pro solves all the issues and the U7 Pro is barely faster than the U6 Pro as well.

Better to stick to their U6 series if you have a lot of smart home devices.

I'm not alone as it seems like many others facing similar issue on Reddit and their forum.

Enthusiast level products, and for intermediate/advance homelabbers that can't pay Cisco/Aruba tier pricing.

Ubi products are comparable to proper enterprise gear but costs way less to the same tier of products offered. And not to mention the buy once use "forever" idealogy. UDM Pro for example, is released in Feb of 2019. Till now, it still has proper support/software updates from Ubiquiti and has no signs of EOL **yet**.

Software quality is definitely a big weak spot. It looks pretty but I think it's not robust and bullet-proof unlike proper enterprise stuff. It requires too much testing and baby sitting.

They really need to improve their software QA and QC.
