2.4GHz getting this speed ...
channel bandwidth use 20MB..no different if set auto ..

any other problem not getting 100Mbps ?
using ASUS AC68u
i don't enable 5GHz weak WIFI signal ...

thanks ....

You can't get full speed on 2.4GHz as there is interference or congestion on the wireless network at your place. You should enable 5GHz or at least get an AP or powerline, just for 5Ghz, if you want full speed. See here for further explanation:

aiya...felt waste upgrade from 50Mbps to 100Mbps. if cant get full 100Mbps on 2.4GHz..

add on AP or power line will consume more power ..

i think AC68u can handle nicely but ....
*
If you add on powerline or AP, it won't consume much power. It has nothing to do with the router bro. You have one of the best router already. It has more to do with the wireless interference and congestion in your area, which is to be expected, unless you are staying in some high class gated area with only a few houses around you. My advice is to get a powerline or AP if you can, and just configure it to extend 5GHz.

detected Max 3 WIFI signal around my house area included my own..consider many or few ?

Consider few but there must be some interference somewhere that make you unable to receive the full speed of 2.4GHz. If you want 2.4GHz to get full speed, try to set it to 40MHz and see if that helps.

Hi bro, would like to clarify on the unstable wifi issue before i make my final decision to exchange it for c5v2 router, as to me is unstable is the extremely high ping sometimes when downloading or even just watching youtube (may reach 3000+, will recover by itself but takes some time, sometimes need to keep refresh), normal period, just a slight jump for the ping (download can reach 3-3.6Mbytes/s and able to watch youtube at 1080p at the same time), Im using Unifi 30Mbps. Was wondering unstable wifi issue means this to you bro?

Hi bro, would like to clarify on the stable wifi meaning before i make my final decision to exchange it for c5v2 router, does it mean when you downloading the ping doesnt jump high??as to my current c1200, sometimes ping will jump extremely high like few thousands when downloading or even just watching youtube, it will recover to stable state by takes some time, sometimes i will need to keep refreshing to get stable, normal period downloading can reach 3-3.6Mbytes/s and able to watch youtube at 1080p at the same time, will c5v2 router having this issue?Appreciate your feedback

Just change to C5 V2, or flash your C1200 firmware to EU version. That is it.

ASUS 68u for me see no different connected 2.4GHz WIFI between 50Mbps VS 100Mbps ...😳😳

Bro, I have told you already that the router location have nothing to do with it. Even if the router is front of you, can you block ALL other wireless signals from other wireless devices, being in your location? Be realistic.

There is clearly interference in your wireless network, especially the 2.4Ghz band in your location, so that’s why you can’t get full speed of 100Mbps. Did you even read the link I posted for you?

See here, and I have even attached more links for you to read. Read the first link as it is more relevant to your situation:

Yes, in an ideal world, he should be getting it. But, in this modern world, there are too many wireless interference on the 2.4GHz band to even get the full 100Mbps speed, unfortunately.

can i say that if your ISP more than 100Mbps ...2.4GHz is useless caused cant never get full speed ? only Max 50Mbps ..

if ISP 50Mbps no problem to get full 50Mbps ..

thanks ...

Sadly, 2.4GHz is very congested and full of interference bro. I understand your frustration and I definitely can empathize with you. If your ISP offer more than 100Mbps, you have to move to 5GHz to get more speed. 50Mbps is considered very good for 2.4GHz.

Not necessarily. 10mbps also cannot reach. It all depends on so many things.

2.4Ghz vs 5GHz speedtests. Same location, a busy restaurant with plenty of people and wifi around.

Beautiful example of interference and congestion on the 2.4GHz band which is practically unusable at a busy location in this present time.

silent forever using tp c5... can get full with 5ghz but not 2.4.

tm supplied tp ac1200 - said to crap over n over again.

am sure they all tried various tips, tweaks as suggested by others.
anything we infer from these 3 cases?? hmm.gif

Nothing. Wifi speed depends on many factors such as interference and congestion, and other factors as well.

that, everyone knows la...

the big question is what solution(s), not just why "cannot"!

there is interference everywhere, every house, impossible to get rid of everything else so that one device works perfectly.

will be more useful if u can share what u have, what results, what u hv done, how to deal with this interference, tq.
that, people also know to an extent la...

old devices likely not so good, new ones should work fine... but somehow they dun.

i am quite sure the people here struggling to get full 100mbps know this aspect, know how to test old and new devices.
really... it seems to such a hard job to get full 100mbps to work.

it will be hell if one tries to go 500 or 1000mbps then! laugh.gif
*
Okay, you want a solution? Solution is confining all Wifi to each person’s house and everyone have their own frequency, and then removing all other wireless devices, leaving only the router in your house as the wireless point. Nothing will interfere with each other then. You have the best and latest devices as well. You will get full speed and everything will be sweet as.

Realistically, that is never going to happen bro. The best way to get the best speed is still by wired LAN connection. It is what it is. Every household is going to struggle for wireless space, and that will be the fact for the coming years, unless all of us move to 5GHz, which has more non-interfering channels, but still not enough for all of us.

QUOTE(sgpdsmss @ Dec 24 2017, 08:04 PM)
your device's WIFI is good ..no matter upstairs or downstairs constantly get near 9xMbps ...
Pls put away all many factors 1ST ...
100Mbps ...new devices connected ..should get nearly 8x~9xMbps.
but now nope..only Max 6xMbps ...
@fruitie ...initially cant get the expected speed...but after she did some setting in her router ...finally getting the speed almost matching with the ISP plan speed ...

so for me i did change around setting in the router ..but still cant get what i expected ...
yes ...my device link speed Max 72Mbps only ...no matter i change to high end router still cant get the 100Mbps ...
and yes ..is device limitation ...……i think only 1 antenna for my device ~ redmi note 4..

MIMO still new Tech ...a lot of mobile phones don't have that feature yet ..
YES ...Bro...you really understand my feeling...thank you ..appreciated....

You can buy the most expensive router and do whatever settings you want, but if the wireless network in your area is very congested and you have many electrical devices in your house, you will never get the full speed that you want. As you say, the device that you are using also plays a huge role. The strength of the antenna in your device determines how fast your connection will be.

bro...your mind always thinking of congested ..interference..
no matter how congested ..interference ..you put your device close to the router should be able to get full speed ...
Pls try and show us ...

yes..now i admit ..my redmi note 4 .link speed connected at Max 72Mbps only ...so that i cant get 8x~9x of 100Mbps on 2.4GHz wifi..

even i bought high end router ..expensive router ..did perfect setting ..link speed Max also 72Mbps ...
even surrounding not congested..without any Electrical devices in my house ..link speed also Max 72Mbps ...

thanks ...

It is self explanatory and very obvious. If you can’t get full speed on 2.4GHz, there is clearly something that is causing the low speed. It could be congestion, interference, or the phone WiFi adapter itself, or another reason.

It doesn’t mean that if you are right in front of the router, there won’t be any congestion or interference. You can’t block ALL the wireless signals from beaming to your place, and yes, that means right in front of your router as well.
Don’t assume WiFi is similar to IR wireless, where an unobstructed line of sight is needed between the transmitter and receiver. WiFi signals doesn’t work that way. It can if it have a directional antenna attached, but most WiFi APs are omnidirectional anyway.

All wireless signals will overlap and interfere with one another, unless they are on a different frequencies from each other.

See here and read this article. Although this in US, it applies here as well:

https://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/wireless/...d-how-to-fix-it

If you still want to argue that there is nothing wrong and blame it all on the router, I can’t do anything. Read and educate yourself and stop thinking in simple terms.

Don’t mean to come across as being harsh, bro. I apologize if I do. Redmi phone is good, but it only support b/g/n, and not AC, so it won’t hit the max speed, but it is fast enough. 70+ is okay, and more than enough for daily use.

very sad when redmi cannot get the expected speed on 2.4ghz wifi after upgraded to 100mbps,,,
so seek expert here....asking suggestion..opinion..solution here....
who knows in the end,,,device problem....... doh.gif
use pc did speedtest via lan cable..at least can up 9xmbps....

thanks,,,

Yes bro, via LAN cable is still the best choice. At least your PC is getting full speed. Redmi can’t get full speed, but it is more than enough. At least PC and other devices that can support 5GHz AC can reach full speed so no worries.

I would think that it is for users who can’t subscribe to Unifi as the port is full, so VDSL is the next best choice for these people.

Since TMPoint staff are inconsistent and provide wrong information, some of the customers give chance to request staff check with supervisor team first before reply back to customer's questions. But still end up like....  rclxub.gif  Nowadays supervisor also blur..

Just wondering their management is it been changed? hmm.gif 
Previously saw TM quite improved the service a lot, but now saw thread there a lot of noise.

Billing system generate bill, but up to staff to input the right data and package info, so it is ultimately the staff’s fault! Same management, but worse performance.

I recently just joined the unifi bandwagon, as of 28/11. On unifi Lite. Previously was on Streamyx 4M for many, many years. Stumbled on this thread when I was looking for information on TM router. Out of curiosity, for those who upgraded, what do you use the 'extra' bandwidth for? I was more than happy with streamyx. Even with unifi availability at my housing estate middle of this year I was not enthusiastic at the time.
So what brought the change for me. Partly it was 'forced'. TM called and informed that streamyx service will be de-activated in my housing area next year. There is a current promotion for unifi Lite, and the pricing was attractive. So, I flipped. I must say that the transition was almost painless and took only 5 days from registering to installation. There are only 3 of us at home and we are not very heavy users. Reading through this thread I see a lot of people going for upgrading.

You thoughts?  biggrin.gif
*
Streamyx is good, but the extra bandwidth is better for
gaming, better for watching higher quality YouTube videos, faster loading for browsing websites, which saves you time, and faster speed for downloading torrents.

Honestly bro, you are lucky to have Unifi Lite, as most people want Unifi, but unable to get it and still stuck on
Streamyx, which is not ideal for doing many things.

Ethernet, no sweat... 105mbps.

Wifi 5ghz... 95 at 10ft, 85 at 30ft, 75 at 50ft.

Wifi 2.4ghz... crap...25 to 50 only.

My old asus rtn12hp can do better on wifi 2.4ghz, but only 95 with ethernet.
Will consider new router...

Anyone using asus ac1300uhp... good enough for wifi 2.4ghz?

I got a few old devices that can only run on this freq, wifi.

2.4GHz is well known for its congestion and interference from other devices and it is no surprise that you can’t reach full speed.

No, the router that comes with the RM10 promo upgrade to 100Mbps, is definitely not as good as your Asus AC68U. You can ask for a HyppTV replacement box, if yours is not working that good anymore. The Asus AC68U is good enough for 100Mbps.

Both can definitely support UniFi 100Mbps speed, as both have 5Ghz, and AC. If you have only N routers, on 2.4GHz band, forget it.
