500mbps

ok...similar with mine, to be honest with you, to deal with that speed especially on wifi, you need a powerful machine, either from the main router itself to until the wireless AP, unless you don't care much about the speed, as long as you got internet. i have tried :
1. Mikrotik wired RB750gr3 as a main, after TM ONU
2. via LAN from Mikrotik RB750gr3 : 1 length CAT6 to Dir3060 at living room, 1 length to Dir 882 at upstairs room 1, and another Dir882 for master bedroom upstairs, all as an wireless AP, 5ghz band, protocol AC only, same SSID, same password but different channel, for the benefits of the roaming purpose.

observation : 1. since my mikrotik only dual core 880mhz, 256MB RAM, it's run up to 80% (without fasttrack enable) during the full bandwidth running at 500mbps. i have about 10 device connected on my house. 2. slightly delay on the roaming experience maybe due to the absence of the mesh capabilities. 3. overall wifi speed inside my house is within 350 to 450mbps. i'm using wireless networking apps to measure the wifi signal coming to the device.

until...,.i get the free deco mesh m9 plus from the TM, and get the new powerful mikrotik RB4011igs+rm wired router (google for the spec) to replace the whole of my above setup, it's changed the whole wifi experience in my house. with the mesh capabilities, all connected via LAN for the ethernet backhaul, really impress me and my family. as an additions to that, i'm waiting for my 2 unit deco mesh X60 to arrive, to add to the network via LAN later.

my advise, get the good mesh wifi, as an long investment, consider the minimum spec similar to the tplink mesh m9 plus. higher the better. get it connected from your AX20 either via the chain method or star method and not via wifi. good luck.

i just upgraded, happen the same to me, the unifi vlan profile set the lan4 to voip, haven't tried reset yet.

UPDATE: reset and reconfig manually still get the same unifi vlan profile lan 4 voip, seem like they set it wrong with the new firmware by default, have to use custom vlan config for now.

so from your comments, i understand that mesh wifi with a powerful (wired) router is needed for seamless experience. i was of the impression that the AX20 + RE305 can be connected via ethernet (my house has concealed LAN) to achieve OneMesh. too bad la. If i were to buy a Deco now, my AX20 would be wasted as i would either have to turn off the wifi capabilities or use Deco as the main router.

I guess i'll just make do with the AX20 unless the deadzone becomes unbearable.

if i'm were you, since Ax20 also have a mesh capabilities, just use it as a main, deco unit 1 as an wired AP slightly further away. if you don't have any LAN ready beyond that, just install another deco unit 2 at other area you need and let deco 1 and 2 communicate via wifi backhaul.

Yeah same buddy. After reset still Unifi profile Lan4 set for VoIP looks like tplink had bugs hope they fix with future update as of now using custom VLAN no problem for now

Any X20/X60 users facing issue using the Wan/Lan ports? Either one of the ports of the main deco will be connecting to the modem, what about the second port? What do you use it for and any issue with it?

So far no issue. What is your devices issue?

Saw your question about this on another thread.

Check if your CCTV decoder is using manual IP. Many installers like to configure it that way.

Hi master, I will check with my installer tomorrow. So don’t use manual IP in the decoder ?

If the DVR is using manual IP, once you changed to different IP range, it can't get connectivity automatically.

I have a feeling that the latest firmware for Deco M5 has the same bug as well. Spent a half a day figuring it out and ended up reusing the old TM router and use Deco as access point mode.

I couldn't connect to Internet using the PPOE mode with all my 3 decos. Could this be because of wrong VLAN configured?

Can you guide me on how to set the right unifi VLAN for Deco M5 if I don't want to use the 2nd port as voip?

Hello, you may set as custom and VLAN ID for Unifi Internet is 500.

Thanks.

This works! Thank you so much. It was a frustrating weekend for the family.

You're welcome.

I am glad that my solution works.

Good morning. So what should I set in the decoder?

Auto IP or DHCP

if you intend to access remotely, beyond your LAN networking, you should assign the fix IP so that you can enable the port fowarding and use the dynamic DNS for that.

I would prefer DHCP (Auto IP) on the decoder and configure fixed IP lease on the router.

By doing this, the router won't allocate the same IP to other devices.

my correction...DHCP is always auto. after the first ip assignment to the device, we configure or set whatever ip allocated by the dhcp to be static/fix.
