i run 10 days also no problem, only need to reboot cause need new ip for download from hosting website. btw, i don't have any fan to blow it cooler. running at 40 celsius +-

Everynight I will turn off my dlink 850L when i'm sleep and on again the next morning. So far no problem at all.

To be more accurate, there's:
C5 v1
C5 v2
C1200

AC1200 isn't an actual model number but refers to their wifi capabilities. You can see it here.

hahaha yes u r accurate indeed!

And the only tplink router that has AC1200 capability (that's named the Archer C1200) has 1 USB port, not two. That's what I got...and it sure doesn't take 5min to boot...never actually timed it, but it feels like 2+ minutes.

Edited for a bit more clarity me getting confused!

Maybe they updated the firmware. I did a test months ago and the C1200 was really slow in booting. See here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4269752

I don't use it on a daily basis so can't say anything about reliability. The D-Link DIR-850L has to be the worst of the lot. Of the routers that TM gives out, the RGX4400 is still my fav.
RGX4400 > C5 > C1200/DIR-850L

But lately I don't see any more C5s or RGX4400s.

Egads! that is shocking! If it took 5min+ for mine to bootup, I'd have raged and went shopping for a better device. Even my ancient redmi note 3G boots faster than that

Am no networking expert by far...but yeah maybe they did come out with a better firmware. I've also read that sometimes manufacturers use different components in various production runs of the same model name, so maybe that's may have happened too...

Anyways I'm still very happy with getting unifi lite, and am luvin the upload speed Gone are the bad old days of streamyx!

Will tmnet sell their stb to unifi lite customer? anyone enquire before?

If the stb need money to buy, better go for tvbox at ladaza, 11street, lelong, shoppe..etc. Alternatively get a 2nd hand TM happytv box, then jailbreak it and can watch 1000+ channels for free.

Is the Unifi Lite available only till end of this month?

http://www.tm-unifi-promotion.com.my/

Well that page does say "HURRY!! PROMOTION END THIS MONTH!!!", so I'd say yes.

It also says "Click for Register Now".....doesn't TM have any proofreaders?

Just so that you're aware that website not TM one.

Nope. There's no promotion for UniFi Lite at all. The price is RM129 and it is optional to take the Voice 20 pack. So it is not even a promotion at all. Probably they just want to attract you to sign up with them immediately only.

anyone tried streaming youtube 4k with this 10mbps?

Well what a misleading day it's been! Routers named closely to a wifi standard....and now non-TM websites that use TM logos etc ! Looks like I'll have to scrutinize things more closely...or I'll end up getting phished.

I think better than archer c1200... I got the archer and it really sucks...

Normally better to put the Unifi router upstairs or downstairs for a 2 storey house?

Depends on where you use the most... if you got a small room downstairs with a mini office then put downstairs.. but if your pc mainly used in a room then perhaps upstairs....

I always put downstairs anyway....

What if you used both upstairs and downstairs?

you can actually set a schedule in the router itself for turn off and turn back on at a certain period of time.

If you are interested, I'm selling my Mi Router 3 flashed with Padavan which can be used with Unifi immediately after setting up ur ID and PASS

Usually you placed it where you use the internet the most~ If is both upstairs and downstairs then will depend on whether you have any desktop and you may wanna have it near to your desktop for LAN connection~

Otherwise you just place it near to where your fiber wiring port is~
