Hi Guys,

need some help on this, just want to ask possible to purchase some router from china like taobao ? and can use for unifi?

anything i need to take note? as long as the router is support vlan then it work for both hypptv and internet?

a branded good router support is too expensive for me, tplink archer1200 is my choice, just it expensive(over my budget la)

I got one tp-link archer 1200 from unifi to sell. U interested? Its open once during installation.

You can but due to firmware may not be able to support with Malaysia

Not SIRIM Certified.
I cannot guarantee that the router will work in Malaysia.

Do contact TM about this issue.

If the router support VLAN out of the box, you are good to go. Asus router is a safe bet as it's firmware is universal ans support VLAN out of the box.

Don't think TM will help to do so,i worried compatible issue also

As Long as it able to set vlan 500 and 600 right? Anything I left out? Asus expensive le, tplink also xmampu beli d

My advice for you is to get a suggestion from a friend.

Since not most of the router support VLAN Tagging.
Check with the dealer about VLAN Tagging.

My best advice is to buy local warranty set so that you can obtain/claim warranty if anything happens.

Yes, as long as it supports VLANs and PPPoE on the VLAN, it'll work. Why don't you look for a used RGX4400? It's actually a very good router. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3994248

I got one here from Garage Sales for RM50. What's your budget?

Please pm me your best price bro

is RGX4400 working fine? dont have attena wor? signal will drop mar? now my latency so freaking high if 2 more device connected to the router...

If you want to troll, try putting more effort How does a router work if it doesn't have antenna. No visible antenna doesn't mean no antenna

I have a rg4332 here work suck seriously , I'm not sure about this . If this ok then I will just buy this , a Lot cheaper

Works good. Got engineering, no need external antennas. Most of the the stuff I use don't have external antennas. I bet your smartphone also dun have antenna right?

I got archer c1200 wan let go rm180. Just use around 2 week

lol thats a good one. one thing i learned is that no matter how good the wireless throughput from a router, if your receiver not good, u still not getting good signal.

Where you from?

Puchong or pj

I have purchased an Asus router from Taobao and currently using it ASUS AC 66U for RM 2xx. Seems to be an European set but looks new . Without the retail box.


The Unifi ISP setting is already in built. No problem to use on the spot. But u need to find a shipper able to ship it back to Malaysia. The normal freight by air dont ship modems. It took me 6 weeks for sea freight.


Hope this helps.

Wah rm50?working conditions?Sooooo tempted to buy

Do you mind to provide me the taobao link!? Thanks

Check garage sales. I saw one for RM65. Worth it for a dual-band AP.

I saw this comment and straight up bought a Asus RT-AC66U for about RM230. Actually, it's an American set not European. I had yet to found any European set sold in Taobao. Luckily the forwarder are able to ship via air. Will be receiving it in a week time.

PM link pls

I'm so tempted to get one too. Why is there such a huge discrepancy in pricing? Local price is what? RM500?

On a different note, have you got your unifi speed upgrade yet?

I checked the firmware was from EU so i assumed it was from there. Not too sure if its US or EU. But the Unifi setting is already available when i plug it in.

Seller also sells the AC68 if you need one.

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....5871&abbucket=3

Asus routers are way overpriced in Malaysia for unknown reason. RT-AC66U cost USD $140 in US and it's sold >RM750 in Malaysia . Basically the Taobao link above sold unit that are refurbished. Since the price is so cheap, I wouldn't mind about the warranty and the aesthetic. I just got upgraded from VIP5 to Unifi Lite like three weeks ago.

Seems like we bought from the same seller.

Yeah man. Other buyers just becareful on the shipping as the first time i bought using Taobao Global Direct it was rejected at warehouse hence need to ship back to seller for refund. Then i used a sea shipper, no problem. So far used it for 2-3 weeks no issue, firmware updated, stable and can handle multiple device connection easily. Just a little warm.


Also the adapter pin is China's so use a simple travel adapter will do. China appliances can use MY socket without a transformer.


Cheers.

hmmm....i should keep on with my mikrotik.thx anyway bro

means china use same voltage as malaysia is it ? that good

Not exactly same but its 220V (China) and 240V (Malaysia) still within acceptable range

Gotten your new toy yet? how was it?

Im already using it bro like a month plus. Its good and most importantly even with multi device connected it still handles it well unlike my previous default TMNET Dlink which more than 5-6 devices it will start to stutter loggin into the wifi network.


For the price, no issue at all. WIFI coverage is good.

Is that 淘宝直送?

What about from 天猫? Lepas?

Bought an AC86U from Taobao Collection on Lazada. Comes from China in about 4 days. Brand new, great performance. RM630.

You may refers to here, read from first page until the end. I am using a China version Asus RT-AC86U. So far I'm happy with it.

Hi, I want to asks whether TP-link from China Taobao TP-link WDR8690 can direct connect the UNIFI modem?

Hi, all sifu. I just bought a high speed router from China TP-Link. Im currently using Unifi. May I know it is easy to do the setting up? Cause last time I heard that we need to get our Unifi special password from TM. Please help thanks.

Why did you buy the router from China when you can get good ones here for quite reasonable prices?

As far as I know, the China router you bought does not support VLAN tagging which is required for Unifi, so even if you have your PPPoE username and password to connect, you won't be able to use the router unless you get a smart switch that can support VLAN tagging. See here: https://www.blacktubi.com/guide/make-any-ro...-work-on-unifi/

hi sifu…i need some advise

i recently purchased a ROG GT-AX6000 from taobao

once received, i set it up following the router instructions (with Unifi PPPoe username and password) but somehow unable to connect to Unifi internet

as such, is there no other method apart from using this tp-link smart switch to solve my problem ?

fyi, my unifi plan is 800Mbps

thanks

Most likely; if the router doesn’t support VLAN tagging, then you’re SOL

Did you flash international firmware? Did you choose unifi as profile?
If there are no option to choose these, i believe you can set manually, in web interface > LAN > IPTV, internet VID 500.

China router is cheaper, but lower signal strength. You have to flash ROM or some are locked at bootloader.

check for LAN -> IPTV
if its not there then you're out of luck unless you get a smart switch to handle the vlan

this is the problem with buying chinese routers
1. lower transmit power
2. Chinese only firmware
3. bloat like qq game booster

and no, you cannot flash it to global

Unfortunately, other forumers has answered your question and the news is not positive. I won't add on to the bad news but wish you best of luck in resolving the issue.
