Yes bro. It wouldn’t affect the performance up to 100M. So, your setup would work.

No worries bro.

True. The wireless AP could have better wireless range, but in terms of performance, it would be similar unfortunately, as the wireless AP is getting its electrical signals from the power line.

Get the WPA4530KIT as I have mentioned. It's a passthrough that you could use for your PC as well.

Depends, if the wireless AP is a router but can also be used as an AP and it is a reliable brand, the wifi range and signal strength could be potentially better than the powerline with wifi and Ethernet. But, I would usually just recommend getting a powerline with WiFi as it save cost, unless you have a spare router that you can convert into an AP.

Good to hear that bro. Which brand and model did you end up getting?

Bro, log into your router. Click on ‘Advanced’, then ‘Network’, then ‘VLAN’. You will find VLAN settings or tagging for the 4 ports. It’s 500 for Internet and 600 for IPTV. You will have 500 for port 1 to port 3, which is Internet access, and 600 for port 4, which is IPTV. You can change the values from there.

I could be wrong but I don’t think you can do that with the TP-Link AC1200 unfortunately.

Try the TP-Link AC1200 or even better, the TP-Link C7.

It must connect to the VLAN 600 as it needs to be separated from VLAN 500, which is for Internet. It’s not troublesome and have to be done, in order for a proper separation of the network for different purposes. Hard to explain if you don’t have a basic understanding of how VLAN networks work, no offence. If you really want to know and have a basic understanding of networks, see here for an explanation on how they work and why they are required: https://serverfault.com/questions/188350/how-do-vlans-work

Yes, no problems if it’s along the same phase circuit, even if it’s 3 phase. So for example, if your first floor and router (which is located in the first floor) is all on the same phase wiring, powerline will work on all the wall sockets in the rooms on the first floor as well. If you put the powerline on the ground floor which has different wiring, it might or might not work.

Should be fine via wifi if it’s connectd to VLAN 600. No special requirement, but as I say, there have to be a separation of defined networks, which serve its own purpose. You should read the link I attached in my earlier reply to you.

All routers does occasionally reboot on its own to update its WAN IP address and other network details, plus the lease time for its connection varies as well, so that could be a reason why it reboots by itself.

Nice one bro, thanks for the link.

Well bro, you are paying for quality and a dual band router as well in the TP-Link AC1200, especially since you’re moving to an apartment later. The Asus RT-N12HP has only one single band, which is the 2.4GHz, and that won’t be good if you’re moving to a place where there will be multiple wireless networks plus other potential interference issues.

You can try Tenda which is cheaper but I have not used it before and there could potentially be issues, just a disclaimer:

No benefits, just easier separation of networks. You have to ask TM’s network infrastructure staff on why they choose to do so lol. I’m just assuming that it would be easier for them to divide networks for its specific purpose.

Bro, you’re right but you’re confusing reboot (it is totally off, and no uptime, and need to physically turn it on again) to refresh (still on, but WAN IP changes).

I think Jjuggler is referring to refresh instead of reboot so can’t blame you on the misunderstanding, unless I assumed wrongly and he is indeed referring to a reboot, which is my bad.

Ah okay. You’re referring to a proper reboot and I misunderstood you, my bad. So, it just reboot by itself and you’re not aware of it happening at all?

Haha we live and learn from others so no worries. That’s a surprise. Could be a hardware or software ie firmware problem. You will just have to monitor it. Did you check the system log to see what happened or the reboot wiped the log clean as well?

No worries bro. TP-Link is a reliable brand plus their warranty is good for three years. Asus is definitely better but their good and high-end routers will be way out of your budget.

No worries bro. Hope that is an isolated incident and it won’t happen again.

No worries bro. Hope it works for you.

You are better off purchasing it for yourself or get the TP-Link Archer C1200 as it is going to be difficult to get the C7 router from TM. The best they would give is the Archer C1200.

You are clearly conned as the TP Link Archer C3150 is more than capable of supporting 100Mbps, and is more powerful and better than the new TM Unifi router, of that I can be sure of.
