Powerline or wifi range extender? :confused:

As a quick fix, you can get a SUM Digital Timer to daily off the router at one time and on it back at another time.

Even if the router is functioning well, I use it to let my router have some rest once per week too. The timer is very flexible to have up 10 sets of on/off timing which can be in minutes, hours, days or weekdays.

He meant powerline, not WiFi extender.

True but i am using unifi less than 1 month only and every 1-2 days sure give me this problem no fail. this device cant be that "lousy" right that need to reboot 24 hours. Finding a long term solution

Long term solution is changing that damn router to something else.

I got same issue! Got a Tp extender , it show full bar on my iPad but actually the speed can say close to turtle!

yes but i have friends using the same exact model. they do not face the problem i am facing. if this model is the problem, then tm would have got bombarded with all the calls that this wireless is rubbish, but that is not the case. if this model is giving problems to all new houses , i do not think tm would even deploy this model at all. the problem that i am facing is a very odd one where every 12hours to 48 sure will break. people may complain that wifi signal weak or sometimes will hang after a few weeks on non stop running but mine is a whole new funny problem...which i cannot accept it is that lousy.

I just got a very old riger RG4332 wifi router from my friend who replaced it way back in 2013. he said that is a no good wifi also but at least you dont need to reboot after a week. i am testing this for 2-3 days to see how it will perform now. this should conclude it is a wifi prob or i do not know what might come up

wifi repeater is the abomination of wireless network

testing my AV500 on 1 Gbps lease line at office

what is the purpose of having 500 mbps connection from homeplug 1 to homeplug 2 when the actual LAN port is only 100 mbps?

The 500Mbps is just a number, the maximum throughput a homeplug can reach. However, real life is more complicated with electrical noise, line quality, and other interference, so a homeplug rarely reach full throughput.

See here: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/networks/po...it-versus-wi-fi

surprisingly AV500 nano works on 3 phase connection despite having slower link from homeplug 1 to homeplug 2

tested again @ 1 Gbps leased line

yeah I know, but does not make sense when you have a theoretical speed at 500 Mbps but the end port (LAN) is only 100 mbps. should be gigabit instead. If you checked the homeplug line is exceed already 300 mbps. due to LAN port restriction, I left with 94 mbps++

I am going to Lowyat and hunt for http://www.tp-link.com.my/products/details...A8630P-KIT.html

Hope this will improve my upstairs weak WiFi which is extended by airport express.

Buy online would be cheaper? See here for link from a reliable seller: http://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-dual-band...53bfTNPvbc&mp=1

Thanks haha but I bought already.

My current speed:

How do interpret the speed? Is 220Mbps the link speed between two power line device (adaptor at downstair and extender at upstair). I used to get around 78Mbps to 114Mbps before this when using Airport Express on upstair to extend the wifi network.

Don't worry too much about the numbers. Are you getting the speed that you want from the powerline? If you are, it is all good.

What is the AC pasthrough in powerline? Will it work with three phase? I experienced previous powerline before and it is super unstable. Pretty sure it was the old wiring problem though. xD

AC passthrough? It just meant that there is a connection to the socket at the front of the powerline so you don't waste a wall socket. No, it won't really work well with three phase, but you never know until you test it at your place.

Hi. For now I'm using Unifi stock modern ZTE ZXHN H267A VDSL2 for Unifi Advance 30mbps, Hypptv Stb and phone line. Can you suggest TPLink model can replace this modem? Thanks 🙂

Newer routers from TP Link that support VDSL have not been released in Malaysia yet. For now, you have to either configure the modem router that you have to be a bridge/modem only for another router or buy two D Link routers that can support VDSL. See here for these two models:
