Standard lah, want to maintain (TQ Surprise) or improve ARPU (Bonanza RM10) while complying with whatever govt policies, remaining competitive and keeping customers happy. OK, maybe not so successful with the last one.

Yeah, wonder if this will speed-up my upgrade. or further complicate things.
That PSU problem actually happened 6 months ago.

Dunno, just call 100 and try my luck. Didn't even receive the SMS.

Yah, my BTU 12V PSU rosak 6 mths ago. I thought I better claim it before I get the new BTU. The PSU can use for my Mikrotik routers.

that’s actually my ulterior motive. Get them to replace the BTU asap.

Not all. I upgrade last Friday morning. Still don’t have yet. I have the old BTU and TM wants to change it first before upgrading me. To ensure the best possible experience.

It’s a mathematical thing. +RM10 upgrade. So I’m 179 now becomes 179+10=189. Yours is 189 so will become 189+10=199. Some on 199 becomes 209. 169 -> 179.

Yes but only once.

How did you end up with RM209 for 50mbps?

You need to do some vlan trunking on that lan cable of yours. Like this:


That red line is the vlan trunk. Your single existing lan cable.

True but you'll probably need one. Or just use HyppTV Everywhere. That'll work with your existing router and switch.

Just slightly special, routers and switches that can do vlans.

The guides would depend on the brand of router or switch that you use since it's done differently by different manufacturers. For Mikrotik, for example, you can look at their wiki: wiki.mikrotik.com

I think there's already a guide here, search the forum.

If your current router can do it then no need to get new router. Waste money only.

There's an old guide here for Mikrotik routers. Not sure for others. Search for vlan, I guess. Here you go: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1733801
For Mikrotik so won't apply to you but will give you an idea. The principles are the same for every vlan capable router.

Me too but RM179.

TM technician come. Never call first. No one home. *sigh*

Retimed to tomorrow.

My STB already changed to the small white Android one. I think that was in the 2nd month of my Advance30 contract. So this time should be change BTU and maybe a new router? I plan to put my DIR-615 back when the technicians come.

In preparation for UniFi's technician's visit tomorrow morning, I recommissioned the aging DIR-615 and I thought I'd do some speed tests. I'm currently on 50mbps.


Speedtest LAN using a cheap Cliptec 100mbit Ethernet USB 2.0 adaptor. My MacBook doesn't have ethernet ports.


Speedtest WiFi MacBook 2.4GHz 20MHz

Not too bad for a wifi router which I got 5/6yrs ago with my VIP5. Tests done on MacBook Pro Retina 13"


Speedtest WiFi iPhone 6s 2.4GHz 20MHz

Now, what was the reason we need an Asus or a Mikrotik router or dual band?

It's OK, 100 has always been good to me. I think I always give rating 10.

Nothing. It's basically on default settings. Well, there's not much to configure on this router anyway.
