Test using LAN cable instead, see if there's any difference

Apart from toxxenting, stream 4K thru Netflix, built DIY cctv..and many more..

Use LAN dont point to PG server or Thailand server. point to Cyber or PJ

yeah...probably will start digging into 4k stuff after testing my new tv box properly...if that cheap box is really capable to do so

We have a similar situation there in Sg. Buloh, Selangor. The poles took like 3-5mths to be fully installed. Once all that, they can take a week or two more for the cabling and DP (distr. point) boxes installation. Our residential area is small, so they could have wrap this up faster.

I agree that it's really frustrating to call the TM. Really!

Only last thing they do is, connecting the one cable back to the exchange box 500m outside the area. I'm not sure how long they can test the cables, and adding all the final details, but I hope it doesn't take us another 2 months or so!!

Just a quick question. I recently got unifi at my house. After the contractor install everything, i realize there are 2 signal, eg. (A) lowyat (B) lowyat_5G.

I did asked them, which to use, they told me the one without 5G.

I was wondering why 2? and what is that _5G is for? are they the same?

The 5g is the 5ghz signal which offers faster WiFi connection but distance cannot go very far

The other one is 2.4GHz, WiFi signal can go further bit speed is slower compared to the 5 ghz

Hi Gais,
Anyone from Johor Bahru received speed upgrades?
I'm on Unifi 5mbps @@

its normal 2.4ghz wifi signal

and the other one is high speed 5ghz wifi signal... for best media streaming/downloading speed... use the 5ghz signal if your device able to "see" the wifi signal...

because not all device able to see that....due to different wifi chip...



how to check?

if a device stated b/g/n wifi chip... it wont see the 5ghz wifi signal...

but if the device is equipped with a/ac chip or carrying dualband wifi chip name.....its definately capable to see and communicate to the 5ghz wifi signal....




but...as the speed is higher, there is a trade off... mainly is the wifi range were dropped....

example is like the router is in your living room, so if u were connecting the 5ghz wifi from back of your house outside the kitchen, mostlikely the signal is dropping to just a few bar or disconnected at all....where your normal 2.4ghz wifi will be still at full bar signal reception at the same distance....

5ghz good for short distance. Longer distance always with 2.4ghz. I dont really notice the speed difference between 5ghz and 2.4ghz on my phone. Im still getting 30mbps of unifi speed. Unless you are transferring large files between pc/laptop in your home

For me, its the range that i need for mobile phones....

That's not quite true. There're many devices which doesn't have AC but will support N at 5GHz.

N will only see if it was dualband capable....

which is mostly on higher end device....

I registered my unifi on 5 March and still I got my free upgrade confirmation today.

5Ghz is less congested so it is able to perform better. Not to mention Wireless AC is only on 5Ghz.

However, the signal will be weaker due to the higher frequency. If you can get decent 5Ghz signal for your entire home, use 5Ghz only.

Yup 30Mbps won't feel any difference with 2.4 or 5ghz. Only can difference once you have higher speed like 100Mbps or more.

Can already feel the difference when using 50 mbps.

My 2.4ghz gives average at 37 mbps if same floor as router.

only if I am next to the router, it reach about 42 mbps but for 5 ghz, even different floor , I can get average to 47mbps.

If I use 2.4 ghz, different levels, will struggle to hit pass 30 mbps.

Nice. Means you will get free upgrade to 100Mbps after this?

Generally speaking and in ideal situations, no. But under certain circumstances, it makes a marked difference. Speedtests below shows the difference between 2.4 & 5GHz in a rather congested wifi environment. It would have made a difference even if you're on VIP20.

How I wish but I was just upgraded from 30 to 50

Don't mind topping up a bit, max RM20 for 100 mnps
Currently paying RM209 include hypptv packages
