oh i see. but its a wired connection. does the 2.4ghz apply?

i bought the Xiaomi Mi Router 3, with Padavan custom rom from zhihao4456

AMstrong, thanks. alexjaya You should check with TM and get them to change it.

My apologies, with that Speedtest result, I just assumed that it was on Wifi. Please ignore all I said about 2.4 & 5Ghz.

For wired, that's really really bad.

This is what I get with a DIR-615, 50mbps and 2.4Ghz wifi in a non-congested house.


Something else is wrong. What did you get on wired previously on the DIR-615? Are you on VDSL or Fibre?

recently my net just gone to shits. idk why. so i thought why not just change the router since dir-615 has bad reputation anyway.

speed reduce by about 10mbps , ping kind of doubled. even if i ping to www.google.com i get 54ms

im on vdsl

Why didn't you mention this earlier?

Check your SNR and attenuation value.
Probably the copper wire got loose or something.

how do i check the 2 things you mentioned?

Login into the VDSL modem.
You didn't mention what is your VDSL modem model either.

vdsl modem = BTU?

vdsl2-huawei-HG655M

LOL!!! u should have mention u are on vdsl earlier~ it have big difference with fibre

So i should call TM on the free upgrade? Back in 2010 mine was 10mbps upgrade to 30mbps.. I'm entitle too right?

Mine way back 2010.. Hmmm seems that I should call TM pertaining to this.

Yeah, call and check. Keep your question simple, just ask why you haven't got your free 30mbps upgrade and see what they say.

Thanks bro.. Time to call TM..

When and how did you get 30Mbps? It was only available in 2015 which most of us upgraded to 30Mbps that time with contract refreshed.

Better hope the default login works.

There are two possible logins:

1) username: admin password: admin
2) username: admin password: hs5711Bbvl

Assuming if TM didn't change the login password.

A) you need to plug a LAN cable from your pc/laptop to HG655M port number 2.
B) Then you need to manually set a static IP:

IP : 192.168.1.50
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Leave default gateway empty.

C) Enter http://192.168.1.1/ and type either one of (1) or (2) logins above.

D) Go to Status ---> WAN -----> xDSL.


For more advanced status report, normally one would telnet or ssh into the modem to run some command line stuff.

Sorry.. I should elaborate more..

Started to use streamyx in 2010 then later changed to Unifi..

in 2015 when 30mbps started TM called up for upgrade..

Now I need to call them to ask for 50mbps upgrade?

What is your current speed?

DL 31mbps UL 10.32mbps..

Does the speed affect my free upgrade? Sorry noob question..

Try to call TM ask for upgrade.

30mbps -> 50mbps

Thanks.. Will call them now..
