Hi guys so I seriously need everyone’s help.

TM changed my modem and router several months ago and my Unifi was all good. However, recently, I’ve been facing issues with my router in which the “UFO” shaped light as seen in the picture attached here is red.

Called up TM several times regarding the said issue and they often come over to my place the next day and get it solved. However, the problem persist often as in after every 3 days or so, the “UFO’ shaped light turns red.

The technicians from TM suggested me to use a cooler for my router and the problem still persist.

I’m planning to change my router to solve this issue as I can’t afford to be without internet coverage.

Any suggestion on what’s a good router ? Model and brand please.

Got to get this solved by tomorrow.



#requirement for the router:
1. Something reliable
2. Strong WiFi coverage
3. Fast
4. Budget around 1k

Ah, the legendary C1200. Just disable IPv6 in the router if you find that amber colored LED annoying.

3 days or so eh? I guess you don't even realize the router randomly reboot itself.....

The IPv6 connectivity takes 5 - 15 minutes to work for that legendary router why is why that LED staying in amber color.

So buying a new router should be the solution right ?

Any suggestions as to which model that I should look into?

Thanks in advance

Yes. Get the Asus RT-AC86U if possible. That's the best one out there if you don't include the AX routers which are quite pricey.

just checked out the Asus RT AC86u and It goes around 800++ on Lazada.

Is that what you are using ? How is it so far ?

No need to purchase new router, just continue to use current router.
Remember to update the router firmware to its latest version.
The latest firmware will reduce the frequency of random reboot by large margin......

The latest software on TP link Malaysia's website for archer c1200 is v3 right ?

That is what my router is on and it is facing issues.
