soonwai Why you didn't use 40 MHz for 2.4GHz?

Is it recommended to leave it as auto for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz instead of setting it to 20Mhz and 40Mhz respectively?

For one thing, Apple devices will only use 20Mhz at 2.4GHz. Also to reduce interference, I always set my APs to 20Mhz. 40MHz is really bad for people around you and even your other APs if you have more than one. If really need extra speed then have to use the 5GHz which atm is only available in my room.

I'm using 40 MHz @ 2.4 GHz & 80 MHz @ 5 GHz.

I'll try to plan around again. Thanks for the link. 

What you mean is bad for health or?? If 5 GHz, are you using 40 or 80 MHz?

That's why I'm playing Dota 2 often spikes & freeze for 1~3 seconds. Alright, I'll change.

Previously, I ran a lot speed test & this setting gave me the best performance.

DIR 850L now got this feature? Not bad

since u mentioned it, i straight away upgrade to 2.09. Thanks!

how do we remove the @unifi ssid in Dlink 850L fw 2.09?

if roll back, gonna have security issues.
maybe free publicity for TM lel

If you roll back, security issues are possible but chances are not high. It was reported that for the 'unsafe' version, only about 200 subscribers are affected. As long as you don't allow remote management, you should be quite safe but not 100%. So you have to choose between the security and the freedom not to have @unifi as part of the SSID.

Definitely free publicity when people scan for wifi. That said, those who are already connected to the internet, would have know what unifi is, or most of them anyway.

TM takes security and privacy measures lightly.
Most of their websites login also not secure. Still using old tls protocol. Heaven for hackers and crook insiders.

No action or response from TM.

Another reason to switch to other isp.

Hi, my Unifi jz installed yesterday with the router of TP-Link Archer AC1200, the router located at living hall, but i realize if i at 1st floor and at kitchen, the speed will reduce to less than 8mbps, even my room jz right on top of the router position, is it I hv to do any setting? Currently In using 2.4GHz and under 30 mbps plan… is it I hv to update my firmware?

do u think the security issue will affect the router in AP mode? i got my ac68u connect to Unifi

no.the @unifi is permanent in fw 2.09.
as stated above

I got the same BTU for my 30mbps Bonanza plan, is it mean this modem can support 100mbps too? I tot i will get the BTU that same like my bro which is silver color (i think that model already use for quite some years?).

How did u setting for ur C1200 wireless? Width and channel in auto and using 2.4GHz?

I just make a call to 100 can comfrim the rm10 upgrade done , need take 7 working days to process. 

and i got ask the helpdesk there no need any hardware replacement to be taken , but my btu is huawei black color 1 (since vip5 taken) , is able to carry 100mb line overall ? or i need take a report to ask for replacement 1st?

The wifi speed seems better after I change the width to 20mhz and channel 9, maybe later i change the channel to 11, and see would it much better.

Is it Wifi Analyzer is the apps i can dl? If yes, i will give a try later too. Thanks ya! ^^

Nobody cares. Well, not absolutely nobody, I can see that you do and I know I do but really, nobody in genpop cares.

Hi, I have a Huawei Echolife HG8240H BTU, and I tried accessing to its web interface by plugging it to Port 2 (Tried port 1 to 4 as well) then setting static ip to 192.168.100.99 and subnet to 255.255.255.1 and tried to access 192.168.100.1 on a broswer but it just doesn't load though. Have unifi decided to seal off the access to the BTU completely? or am I doing something wrong?

guys, im using Asus Router RT-N14UHP for recently upgraded 100mbps
with lan cable i can get 93mbps only
wifi even worse max also 85mbps
is change of router needed?
because from what i check online , it supports 2.4ghz wireless n only

I using the default configuration for ZTE H267A v1.0, any benefits for changing these?

Anyone know what are these IPs doing?

58.26.185.16
58.26.185.17
58.26.185.18

For some unknown reason, Firefox 58 Beta keeps on connecting to that IP address
(Direct connection, no proxy, no add-on)
It keeps cycling between one of those IPs every 10 - 30 minutes.
I just noticed it when running netstat.

Any recommendations?  Thinking of getting one to replace the current TP-Link one (Archer C1200).  I have a budget of RM500 and DD-WRT support would be extremely useful

Get a good router like a Mikrotik RB750Gr3, less than RM290, and keep your C1200 as the wifi AP.

I’m definitely the Mikrotik fanboy but seriously I like them cause they’re cheap for what they can do. Not that other good routers can’t do it but you have to depend on the manufacturer to put it into the GUI. That’s also why 3rd party firmware like ddwrt is so popular.

Anyway the RB750Gr3 is more than adequate already for our home broadband speeds. It should be able to handle up to 1Gbps or 500mbps with ease. Higher up would be RB850gx2 (~RM600, hw encryption, good for vpn), RB3011 (~RM800, 1GB RAM, good for virtual openwrt routers) The ones above 1k like the RB1100x4 are too much of an overkill.

For basic setup, it’s quite simple. Just follow a guide. However it’s not so easy to setup for more advanced features. For example, it’s easy to setup dual wan on an Asus because it’s already in the GUI. For Mikrotik you have to diy. There are guides but it can be daunting. The advantage of this flexibility is that you aren’t limited to dual wan, you can have as many wans as you have ethernet ports.

For APs, doesn’t really matter what you use. Mikrotik APs are so-so only. Their redeeming feature is that they can be managed centrally. Good if you have many APs. Doesn’t matter much if only have 1 or 2. Of course being Mikrotik, they’re very flexible. For example you can setup a wifi bridge that transmits at outside the usual 2.4ghz channels of 1-13 to avoid interference. Illegal though.

Sure, no prob. And if you like frequent firmware updates, you’ll love Mikrotik. They have a RC every 2-4 weeks, usually more frequent and a final every month or so. Even old models such as the 8 year old RB750 from 2009 is still supported.

i just installed unifi 30/10 package last Thursday. They gave me the tp-link archer c1200 wifi. I realized one thing...after 2 days if no reboot of the wifi, if i leave my house and come back later, all my mobile phones cannot connect back to the wifi anymore. It can see the ssid but just failed to connect saying authentication error. Even if i forget the ssid, connect back by reentering the password, still same thing. Only way to fix this was reboot the whole wifi. Ok that fixed it..since it happened 1 time, i let it so.

Today it happened again 2nd time. same thing, phones all cannot connect to wifi, have to reboot the tp-link archer c1200 wifi. So this time i chat with TM online support, told them my problem and they said did i test with lan when it happened? well i didnt because i want to use wifi, not the lan. they said cannot do anything until i test the lan when it happened again, mean while they will reset my port. i have no idea why they want reset my port, it has nothing to do with the port but its wifi problem. but i will just see if it will happen again in the next 2 days.

anyone facing this problem as well? im already thinking to change the wifi by buying another model outside. what would you recommend?
