notify me too bro if there is any good offer. BTW, do you know if OOKAS is selling the V1 or V2 for the c3150?

V2. I bought from him during 11/11 sales

Definitely the v2. OOKAS always sells the latest version of TP-Link products, so no worries. Will definitely let you and bro Jjuggler know if there are a good offer.

Hi bro, the router antenna can be swapable with other brands? The reason i ask so is because i found the signal of the ac1750 rather weak compared with my previous asus router, before this i'm able getting full bar signal on my phone and laptop inside my bedroom with the door closed, however now with ac1750 the signal bar is fluctutated, both on 2.4ghz, i try 5ghz even worst, hardly getting full bar and sometimes signal lost, my phone auto changed to mobile 4G network. Not a good experience with this router to be honest.

I'm actually thinking buying asus 10dbi antenna to swap the default antenna for ac1750. Is it recommended?

Hey bro, sorry to hear that. I would think that Archer C7 v4 is an improved version over its older version, but it might not be the case.

I don’t think that would work. The antennae might not be compatible with the router, and if I am not mistaken, the 2.4GHz antennae is internal, and the 5GHz antennae is the one that you can swap, so even if you successfully manage to change the antennae to the 10dbi one, your 2.4GHz is still going to the same. You might get improved reception with 5GHz, if the swap is compatible, but don’t expect 2.4GHz reception to improve.

However, in saying that, did you try using a wifi analyzer to analyze the wireless network around your place? There might be interference or congestion, so I would recommend you do that and try changing the wireless channel to a channel where it is not so congested. I would recommend WiFi Analyzer from farproc if you are using an Android mobile phone or Acrylic WiFi if you are using a computer to scan for wireless networks. It is better if you use your computer as you can see more wireless networks with the more powerful wireless adapter in your computer., compared to mobile.

Hi bro, i got the result as attached, again i lost internet connection again on 5ghz while replying this post . Btw how to check whether i got any interference? The highlighted in red box are my network, Sorry i'm quite noob in this area.

good to hear that, thanks a lot

thanks bro

No worries bro. You can see interference by the number of networks around you that have the same channel as you or close to your channel, and their RSSI values, which is quite similar to your value

From what I can see, on 2.4GHz anyway, it looks quite congested with a few other channels close to your channel, especially chuan02 and sksalahahmed17. It looks worse on 5GHz, with all other channels close and far to you sharing the channel bonding of 4 same channels on 80MHz.

Since you are using Acrylic Wi Fi Professional Trial, click on your network and click on the ‘Network Quality’ Tab. There will be more information. You can stay on Channel 11 for now for 2.4GHz, as it seems to be the least congested. For 5GHz, adjust your MHz to 40 MHz and manually select Channel 149 and above.

Thanks bro for introduction of Acrylic WiFi, it is very useful

No worries bro. Just keep changing things around and you will alright.

may i know tplink planning to support VLAN tag or not for deco m5?
if no plan then i'm planning to sell my deco m5 but only 2 routers, another one i installed in my rented apartment which is using time broadband so it can connect directly.

currently at home i have to use deco as access point only and use my old asus router which keeps rebooting on it's own once a day.

i plan to buy orbi as replacement which supports all fibre broadband in malaysia.

in terms of wifi coverage i'm satisfied, 2 deco are more than enough for double storey house. 3 are overkill.

I wonder if the Orbi actually support VLAN tagging?

Anyway, from what I know, they are working on VLAN compatibility on the Deco. A workaround would be to use a VLAN switch and trunk VLAN 500 to Deco but you will lose HyppTV. Not ideal but that's the best solution right now.

orbi already support all fibre broadband in malaysia.

[Click on the "firmware" to download the latest version of firmware for C1200 V3]
Try this firmware, it is a little more stable. Moreover, you can manually enable Beamforming feature on this router. I have tried this firmware, currently it is working great with UniFi. However, the router still does randomly reboot when all of the clients are consuming high volume of internet speed. I have set the LED light indicator to off and it does help a little bit, at least it doesn't randomly reboot that often.

wtask i bought tplink w8961n and want to used replace maxis wired broadband supplied modem. but after typical setting (username etc) still cant connect to the net. any idea why?

Just one question, are you currently on Maxis Fibre? If you are, the TP-Link W8961N will never be able to connect as it is a modem router and not a router only, and is meant for Streamyx connections anyway, and I am sure it does not support VLAN tagging. See here for a list of TP-Link routers that support Maxis Fibre:

http://www.tp-link.com.my/products/list-9.html

no, not fiber, wired maxis use adsl same with streamyx.

Ah okay. My bad. Are you sure you have the right username and password?

Would like to know, what did you set for VPI and VCI?
Normal setting should be VPI = 0 VCI = 35

yes, i copied the same setting from before.

username are correct btw.

also web interface are in orange shade instead the usual green? is that new one or old?
