Hi everyone,
Is it normal it may require a longer time for unifi tv STB to connect to NTP server? already set to default ntp server 128.199.84.169 but it still remains longer to authenticate |

Hi, I know this thread is all about AC86U, but I just want to "tumpang" this thread considering the lively and responsiveness this thread has been.
I have an AC5300 unit - just wondering: 1. Are there better antennas out there to increase the range? Or is there a setting to do this? I saw a power saving feature to decrease the range though but nothing on increasing it. 2. Any "accessories" for this beast? Is a cooling fan really needed? Is it noisy? |
