that is expected...

becos yr pc or other devices are not dual band.

only with dual band 5ghz can u get full over wifi... 103mbps, in fact.

most pc's are not on 5ghz, only 2.4. even new ones in the shop are mostly 2.4-3.5ghz.

solution for pc - use ethernet or get a dual band wifi adaptor.

here, usual result... 3 yr old pc with wifi adaptor, 50ft, 1 wall, 1 staircase:

to me, it is, done enough tests.

50mbps... easy, most can do, max out with 2.4ghz.

100mbps for me... need 5ghz; 2.4... max out 70-80.

i live in a place where my router can detect 5 neighbor users typically - front, back, sides.

can even get into them with their password!

but does not disrupt my wifi at all.

so, "interference" - walls or other users - is not a big problem, imo.

that's the price tag i thought i saw in one shop.

maybe i was mistaken, more like rm1.8k?

ar... it must be that ac5300... price tag was 2.2k in one shop!

if u hv the chance, upgrade to 50, even 100mbps.

online streams work better with higher, more stable, more "safety margin" speeds.

i have seen a lot with 10, 30, 50, 100mbps... each step makes a diff.

more so for HD streams.

to understand this, u can read the last 50 pages or so... a lot has been said.

it has to do with what u started with, when, whether u got free upgrades, etc.

u can call 100...

but be informed for new subscribers, official price is rm329 for 100mbps... see below chart.

well.. it depends what u r streaming.

small size, low grade stuff... no need high speed, of course.

the way TM bills, hypptv "inclusive" does not mean the charge does not appear.

it has to be accounted for for internal accounting purposes.

so, hypptv, whichever pack that is supposed to be "free" is billed at std price cost.

then, they apply a discount to nullify it.

e.g., simplified... hypp residential rm299, hypptv 60, discount 180=299+60=180=179.

what i read... the problem lies with the discount - this, i gather is common.

in the bill, they apply a discount lower than what some people thought they will get. that would the issue to clarify with them.

if the deal was made over the phone, the conversation is recorded, and it contains a read out by the staff, "your package price is rmxxx ... with rmyyy discount... do u agree, yes or no...". that is the proof anyone having a dispute should zoom in on.

lucky me, i received my bill showing what it should be, as per what transpired and recorded over the phone.

Describe yr home, distance.

Rtn12... hp? d or b1?

When 50mbps, my rtn12hp_b1 can deliver full 50mbps wifi 50ft.

But if u plan to go 100mbps, go for better, ac router.

I now use rtac1300uhp, full speed, good stuff.

10m with a wall is a piece of cake.

unless u r in a flat with 100 other users around u!

if u hv not, do call 100, ask for the +rm10 100mbps upgrade.

this has been discussed in the last 50 pages since last oct or something... where were you!!


5-6ms.

5ghz, wifi 50 ft...

always.

here:

u changed router already?

that is a pwoer >thousand rm router, is it not?

perhaps yr local unifi infra not so good...?

if u can afford the time, money and "mess", ethernet is always better.

but in my years, i never had to...

never had to do homeplug, extender, repeater...

just wifi with rtn12hp_b1 and now rtac1300uhp - both served their purpose very well.

7ms is too high... something not right.

Wifi, i get 5-6ms.... ethernet.. 2-3ms.

Using cat6 cables.

There is always interference... unless u live on your own farm!

My house is a one typical with walls, furniture, appliances, gadgets, devices on all the time everywhere.

50ft, 1 wall, 1 staircase, 1 cabinet... full speed 100-105mbps with 5ghz.

55ft, 2 walls, 1 staircase, 1 sofa... 90mbps 5ghz, 60mbps 2.4ghz.

I hv one poor spot in a 60ft corner, 3 walls to go thru.... this spot, can only get 20-30mbps with 2.4ghz.

Your rtn12d1 is not as good as the rtn12hpb1.

If u hv the chance, try a b1... it worked full speed for me.... for 50mbps 2.4ghz.

100mbps, need ac router with dual band.

likely a rebate for the unused days.

since they bill u a month in advance... u forgot?

think u r confused...

.. unifi lite comes with hypptv everywhere now called unifi playtv- an internet based app, no stb (hyppbox)
.. hyyptv is now called unifi tv - u must take basic pack (free channels, (priced in), and if u like, add chargeable packs jumbo, jumbo lite, ruby, etc
.. there is no such thing as "hypptv everywhere lite".
.. rm139 is 30mbps+uniftv basic pack, not 30mbps+jumbo lite.
.. u r charged additional rm30 becos u get jumbo lite; jumbo is rm60.
.. u can call to try remove jumbo lite to save rm30 but there cud b conditions moving from lite to unifi30.
.. since u terminated last lite contract, u pay termination fee.

u should hv replied to him, not me!

that was what i was trying to tell him.

I believe yr rm139 package includes jumbo lite... no ruby chinese channels for sure... google to read whats in there.

If u r getting more channels, it means some other pack is added, u pay.

If u do not post yr bill, people cant comment anymore.

the rtn12hp is a good inexpensive router.
it served me 4 years 10-30-50mbps after dumping the stock router - always full speed ethernet or wifi.
if your house is a typical one and not a big-big with lots of metal structures or live in high density highrise, it will work v good.
if u hv no plans to go 100mbps, that is a choice i will recommend u.
but if u plan to go 100, then go for ac router becos that rtn12hp cannot cope with it.

keep in mind ac, 5ghz sounds sexy n all but not necessary for 50mbps.
some of yr devices incl pc, cheap phones may not be able to do 5ghz anyway.
then, 5ghz can't penetrate too far, 2.4ghz can do better.
lastly, ac router will cost min rm500 or so - twice the rtn12hp.
so, decide wisely.

this usual suspect always pop up when u find it slow.
but my exp... no, never... tm never throttle.
always some other reason.

.. they base the decision to change or not on the record what they last supplied you.
.. no matter u use yr own equipment, if last router from them is no good for 100mbos, u get new one
.. new router likely tplink ac1200 - gigabit, ac dual band - not good imo - i replaced it within 24 hrs.
.. dect phone, stb... no, u get +1yr warranty, that's all.
