To be honest, it won’t make much of a difference unless you are using an extremely old router that is not capable of AC, but it is good to upgrade anyway. I would recommend the TP Link Archer C7 v4. You can get it here:

http://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-ac1750-wi...53bfIRn1tJ&mp=1

It says Archer C7 v2, but they will send the v4 to you. It is slightky lower than RM400, but worth the money.

Thanks for your recommendation, actually im currently still using Asus RT-N12 300mb router, is it considered worth to upgrade to AC router?

You sure? Log into your router, go to ‘Advanced’, then ‘IPTV’, then click on ‘Mode’, and select ‘Malaysia - Unifi’. LAN1 will be for IPTV as a default, and LAN2, LAN3, and LAN4, is Internet. Enable ‘IGMP Proxy’ and ‘IGMP Version’  v3.
*
Yup, i discovered this part, i think i choose IGMP Version V2 instead of V3, will try again later, now went out for dinner.

Btw i found out a user review in Lazada stated workaround as below, he said need to connect the STB, my STB i never used at all since i installed my unifi 8-9 years ago, i got astro installed so i didn't need it, i also forgot where i keep doh.gif
For the MAC clone portion, i try to get the value from my old router but when applied in tplink router it keep said format wrong.

Tips:
1) The dropdown boxes in the setup has sliders despite looking like it doesnt. At first i thought the selections in each dropdown was limited to what was shown, but you need to click and drag the right side of the dropdown to slide down to additional options.
2)Make sure you connect all cables including the STB (Hypp Tv box) in LAN1 even though you don't use it. Then start the quick setup. In my case it failed to connect.
3) Then setup the IPTV (despite failing the setup above) for malaysia-unifi in the advanced/network/IPTV tab.
4) I had to use MAC clone of my original TM router (found underneath the router). Choose 'use custom MAC address' and key in your original router's MAC.
5)Turn the router off & restart the modem, once it connects (around 2 mins) then turn on the router on & wait for it to connect.
6) In my case the internet connection LED only turned green once i opened the STB and opened hypp tv. Once it connects you can turn the STB off.
7) Have patience. For some reason this router takes more time to connect. While the original unifi router took 1min or less, this one takes 2-3 mins. I always leave my routers on 24/7 so its a one time annoyance for me. LOL

Yes, I saw that too. I am quite surprised it takes this amount of effort to connect to Unifi and get Internet access via this router. Good luck bro.
C3150 can be had for RM729, and not 899+. See here: http://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-archer-c3...53bfXBDGoa&mp=1

Will also recommend this extender, although pricey, but well worth the price:

http://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-ac1750-wi...e6dbvISlKW&mp=1

By the way, just a disclaimer. I don’t work for this seller lol. I have bought all my networking products from this seller many times and they are definitely reliable, so I am recommending him to you.

Finally got the internet connected by followed your guideline, it is correct need to choose IGMP Version V3 rclxms.gif Thank you so much notworthy.gif

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 doh.gif . 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.

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 thumbup.gif

It is just a theoretical number and you won’t ever get up to that speed. Transferring data over electrical lines is very difficult as electrical lines are very fickle and can affect the data transmission rate. I have suggested you switch to a better router or get a wired connection. It’s up to you to either do it, or just live with the reduced speeds.
Could be compatibility issues p or the fact that they don’t bother concentrating on the market here.
Just change to another router. I recommend the TP-Link C7 v4 which has TWO USB 2.0 ports, thus solving your problems.

I don't think there is compatibility issue, i'm using it right now, much better than USB type.

They might not be too keen on releasing it here then. Incidentally, is your router still available by any chance? My brother in law bought them a TP Link C3150 v2 so I don’t need to buy them that anymore but I am interested to explore the latest Archer C7 v4. I have the C7 v2 but have flashed it to DD-WRT for use as an AP in the future. TM official firmware for the C7 v2 Malaysia is too old.

According to bro blacktubi on his review of the A10 here: https://www.blacktubi.com/review/tp-link-archer-a10-review/ , Archer C2300 is better. It has better hardware and specs.

Thanks bro, no wonder the price is slightly cheaper than ac2300, my crappy Asus RT-AC86U router died so looking to buy a new one.

You won’t regret getting the AC2300. I recommend getting it from OOKAS on Shopee. It’s cheaper.
