Good job. Can you make sense of my bill? This is my 2nd bill after the RYE100 upgrade.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry87552854

28 Nov 2017 RM192.75 (1st bill After RYE100 RM189. Charged extra RM50 then rebated RM60 after complain)
28 Dec 2017 RM159.70 (2nd bill after RYE100 RM189)

This is most likely incorrect but I don't have a C1200 to confirm. Nat Boost on or off should not affect LAN-LAN.

Perfect. You can register for a free dlinkddns.com account with your router's serial number. The account is hosted by dyn.com so will work with any router that supports dyn.com/dyndns.org ddns. Most routers do.

Also, if you own any domains, a few registrars offer free ddns using a sub-domain. Routers usually do not support this (Mikrotiks do) so you update it with an app on a computer.

This is only a guide.
Actual location is your preference. If the technician agrees then proceed.

It's near the Main TV so that you don't need to run cables from your router to the set top box. I have my router in a room and have an Ethernet cable all the way to the living room, it doesn't really matter.

For having all devices accessing the Internet via WiFi, it depends on the range and interference from other nearby WiFi access points.

I would always prefer wired connections, but if dropping a connection once in a while is not a big issue for you, then I don't see any problem.

LOL, since when is torrenting considered an enterprise endeavour?

Yes, correct.

Mikrotik RB750GL with and without "NAT boost"

ROS 6.41, 400MHz, default config + vlan500 + pppoe
CPU: 25-30% - Fasttrack On
CPU: 75-80% - Fasttrack Off

Test to a server in California. Using Mikrotik's bandwidth tester. 10 TCP connections.


Ping to same server.

A single well seeded torrent should be able to max out 100mbps especially Linux distros.


Centos ISO, no VPN. It took 30 secs to ramp up to full speed.

I don't think fast.com can depend one. But good for bragging.

Ok on mine but resolve ips unchecked?? If I check it, the flags disappears. uTorrent 1.8.7. MacOS.

Maybe your equipment problem. What you doing when disconnects?

Yah, special numbers not free, I use Maxis also same. nvm lah, consider it as school fee, next time called 03-22411290 instead of 100.

Can you check if the alarm system is set to Tone Dial.

Plug a phone to the phone line in parallel then trigger your alarm and listen to it when it tries to dial out. You can program it for tone or pulse dial using the keypad. Maybe it’s set to pulse dial. I think TM’s BTU does not work with pulse dialing.

They won't change the STB if it's still working. Since RYE2017 is a contract/warranty renewal, what you can do is write the MAC address of the STB in a Death Note then report to TM that it's not working. TM will change it for free. I did something to this effect when I upgraded from VIP10 to Advance 30 with a contract renewal.

That will work but you'll be limited to 100mbps ethernet when you split the cable. Also there may be problems with crosstalk when all 8 pairs are active which they will be when you use the internet upstairs.

My suggestion is to get a good router (no wifi, just router such as a Mikrotik RB750Gr3,) place it in the store room and connect both cables to it. Configure your existing TPLink as an AP. If you use HyppTV, you can even run both your Internet & HyppTV to the living room using one cable.

I almost switched to Maxis a few years back when they had 10mbps for RM128 but, at least for the last 2 years, UniFi has always been cheaper whenever I checked so I'm not sure where you saw that Maxis is cheaper. I was paying Unifi RM179 for 30mbps then 50mbps and now RM189 for 100mbps. Also the free calls and HyppTV. I don't subscribe to Astro so HyppTV is good for me. Nothing against Maxis, I've been using their "premium" mobile service for many years now.

As SilentVampire said, for some reason, their phone service requires you to plug the phone into the router instead of the BTU. This presents a small problem if you want to use your own router. You end up with 3 boxes, BTU, Maxis router just for the phone and your own router. The setup for Unifi is very straightforward, vlans 400, 500, 600 for VOIP, internet and IPTV respectively. I'm not sure but I've read that Maxis with Astro IPTV is even more convoluted.

I'm sure it's just a typo and that you mean ICMPv6 right?

OK here. 175.x.x.x, Google DNS.

Given the above, I think it's a no-brainer to Maxis. The score is Maxis 4 - Unifi 0.

Maybe so but Maxis got sexpert muppet maxpert.
