Anyone Subang jaya area Unifi down?

Yes repeater is economical but it will not solve any problem if the root cause is the router.

will check it out thanks

never heard of repeater ... how does it work though ?

access point 100% works perfect. repeater 50/50

if u buy new router, u can use your old router as an access point vice versa.

for normal internet usage, tplink c5 are more than enough. i dont think u need extra features right? then u dont need an Asus.

what about those Xiaomi Mi Wifi router ? Do they work well and support Unifi ? My budget is below Rm200 only .

I never tried Mi Router but i know they use custom firmware to enable Unifi connection. for stock firmware, u can only use it as access point.

here's a tip. Dont be fooled by high powered antenna router

Whats the current BTU model for unifi? Isit alcatel still?

btw I have an old router ( TM gv it for Unifi VIP5 previously )

tried to make as wifi extender but right now I tested the download speed is only around 20mbps while the upload speed is higher at around 12mbps

how to make a wifi extender ? i would love to do that but didnt know how to do it , any guide ?

access point and repeater are the same thing

what does repeater 50/50 means? half it works half it doesn't work?

most of it works exactly the same, take the existing wifi signal and rebroadcast it.

addon, current market for such device have all the functionality is just up to you, how you want it to be.

pulling a cable to it and create a new SSID, take existing wifi and amplify , or take existing wifi and rebroadcast it to another SSID.

Does a rebroadcasted wifi network will have the same speed as the origin one?

Eg. Router 1 is 300Mbps Wifi N, Router 2 is 300Mbps Wifi N.

Does user connected to the Router 2 will get same MAX speed as the user connected to the Router 1.

Repeater cuts half of ur speed. Plus not very stable.

Pull cable or use powerline works better but of course cable 100% fullspeed compared with powerline

If use alone wont feel difference.

Try multi user. Thats when the problem start

hello sifus, just installed unifi

i got the username but not the password as its preset by the installer

may i know where to get the password? TQ

It's visible inside router

I would go for tplink c5 than xiaomi according to your budget.

A the rebroadcasted network will be capped at half of the previous max linkspeed. If previously it was wireless N at 150mbps linkspeed, now it is 75mbps theoretical maximum. Of course this is still sufficient for 30mb or 50mbps unifi but when there's more client connected, overall quality will suffer further. This linkspeed will degrade and improve beyond your control depending on your neighbors activity too if you're relying on wifi N.

I would suggest going for powerline with WiFi. Obtained one myself and pretty happy with the outcome. I created a new 5ghz SSID and forced all capable clients to use 5ghz to reduce interference. Every unit in livingroom now can get 48mbps on Wifi AC now. Previously they only can get like 10-20mbps out of full 50mbps due to weak signal from main router positioned at top floor at back of house.

Contact the CS or try extracting it from the router.
