Please help an old man. Been trying to migrate from streamyx 4mb to new UniFi Lite but so far no response.
Approached local agent, discussed the matter, gave contact number and still no response.
Just a few days ago, an Agent sent message on whatsapp. I return call via email and later on whatsapp. No resonse also.
I had not tried TM point, prefering reseller.
I looked through the list of Agents/Reseller in this thread. Unable to see any catering for Ipoh, Perak.
I suspect that since my area provide UniFi, the UniFi Lite is not meant for me to migrate to? No answer also.
Thanks for any assistance forthcoming.

Thanks for the response.
In fact I had had several phone calls in the past few weeks regarding upgrading.
However they all offered only the 30Mbps package. When I mentioned UniFi Lite, no response.
I asked where is the Agent/Reseller located and whether there is a local Office in Ipoh, Perak.
No response to my query. So, in the end no action taken.
Prior to all this, I was mis-informed that only Agents/Resellers are able to provide the new UniFi Lite.
That's the reason I approached local Agents/Resellers and all kept me in the dark. How disappointing.

Then a friend suggested go to TM Point and I decided if that is the last avenue.
On the 14th Monday, I visited TM Point at Jalan Tasek, Ipoh.
Success! Application approved! No hassle. Thumbprint scanned.
Present land-line phone number transfered to UniFi at no extra charges.
Present Streamyx account simultaneous termination upon succesful installation and activation.
What a pleasant day after weeks and weeks of disappointment.
Ya lor... Streamyx 4Mbps users left to rot!

Thanks again.

Hi friends,
Can anyone enlighten me regarding the type/brand of wireless modem TM UniFi Lite provide in the current batches of installation?
Can my new D-Link DIR-619L be a suitable substitute for TM's original wireless modem?
Thank you.

Thanks for the info. One more info request. Will a dual-band wireless router be of any help for mobile smartphones?
Currently on my Streamyx 4Mbps layout, I use two wireless routers. An ancient D-Link DWL-1000AP+ for friends and visitors.
The newer DIR-619L for my personal and private devices. Ha! Ha! Talking about segregation. All wireless connections are set to filter out with MAC Addresses "Allow only devices" apart from the usual encryptions WPS/WPA ecetera ecetera.
So my question now is, will I be able to keep my two previous wireless router connected to the UniFi Lite setup? Just curious to know.

Ha ha! Good one there. Btw, some are already on UniFi Lite, some pending installation and some still yearning to save cost!
Over. Enjoy the mood in here.

Wow! You previosly on 1 Mbps? Oh Wow... suffering so long.
Well, I got stuck at 4 Mbps. Unable to upgrade to 8 Mbps. Unable to go anywhere, except the min 30 Mbps package.
Me old man living alone. What's the need for super-speed?... at exorbitant cost!
Blessing... TM finally introduced the UniFi Lite. Enjoy yourself and cheers!

Hi friends on Unifi Lite,
Here's an update on my quest to say goodbye Streamyx 4Mbps.
Having applied at TM Point for the Unifi Lite package on the 12th August, 2017 was then notified installation on 22nd.
Later received message that installation would be carried out on the 20th Sunday. Accepted new arrangement.
Sunday morning, installers arrived - two technicans - at around 10:00am. They has a brief survey.
However, I took them to my "Home Office" where I showed them my plan, drafted on an xls spreadsheet.
We had some discussion. The chief installer suggested that I add extra for conduits to run the fibre in, in case of rats.
I rejected the offer and also with reference to my drawings, no drilling is necessory.
All layout drawings are shown in details, and explained to the Chief Installer. We then agreeed on the installation.
Within an hour and a-half, all installations completed including setup of devices also carried out.
Tested out the connction including speedtest. A days work all done. Thanks to the Installers. Shake hands and goodbye.

New equipments are TM Huawei Huawei HG8240w and TP-Link Archer 1200.
Shown below is a sketch of my layout plan for the new Unifi Lite installation.

Have a nice day. Cheers!

No extra charges. However he tried to convince me he has to put in plastic tube trunking (cost RM60) to protect the fibre from RATS!
I mentioned to him, let's find some rats and then we decide later. Ha! Ha! Trying to earn extra from an old man out of work.
Oh btw, we did discuss the issue of "drilling holes thro thick walls". I asked which is easier, just insert the fibre thro two holes
I had provided or drilling? Anyway, he had no answer and agreed to follow my layout plan. Took less than half-an-hour of actual work.
The remaining time was spent in setting up the new unifi lite... and casual chatting. Well, overall they were very pleasant in their job.
Thats all folks.

Oh! Thanks for your appreciation.

Sorry to hear you were charged the so-called "Non-Standard" cabling.
There's no fix and fast rules actually. I learnt it from TM Point. Just bargain.
The advantage I had over them is, ah well... I'm a retired Engineer and Manager.
I know how to deal with suppliers as well employees. I convinced the senior installer, that's all.

I made up my own "antenna booster", consisting of a simple aluminium tubing with twisted copper wire within it.
It is a DIY job, the design and caculations were obtain via web-search. I used that extension when I was
working with an Palm Oil Mill. The office was where the adsl rounter was located and my bungalow was
some 100meters away from the factory. That was "streamyx days". Now at home, the DIY devices are put into cold storage.
If I have time, I might post some information and photos. The average gain is -6dbm.

Just for fun... the masking of zorro de Huawei BTU.

1.) Before...


2.) Masked!
The brightness of the LEDs are killing!
My home office is dimly lit and the Huawei BTU is lighting up the room!
Well, problem solved. Masked! Ha! Ha!

Tried that, it still breaks thru. Even the plastic sheet from a file-folder in not
strong enuf to block the bluddy TM logo. Behind the plastic sheet is layer
of opaque sheet of auto-tape for car-detailing. Anyway I had what I wanted.

My still under warranty. Do not want to open it.

Just sharing my discovery about TM Ipv6 vs Ipv4 connections.
