My experience for this router is I use Australia for 5GHz and set channel to 104, it's clean and better coverage than channel 153/157, ofcoz forgot and reconnect to the network is recommended whenever the region change

Now I use it as AP, it has very good hardware but the firmware is a joke. I bought YouHua WR1200JS as router, this model has dual-core 880MHz and 128MB RAM, with Padavan It can handle my 500mbps easily even with adblock on! Which is kindy surprise me due to I just paid about RM60 for this unit, the only cons for this is weak wifi, FG7008GR(AC) has good wifi but bad firmware, so I put them together makes them a strong team, strongly recommended. You may find some details on klseet website

Wow that router is damn cheap! Its their china telecom stock router! Aztech fg7008 used to be singtel stock router too!!

Anyway i figured that u might have to enable fullcone nat for unifi pppoe to work which is kinda retarded (may affect nat acceleration too) cos the aztech malaysia config enables it.
If u ask their firmware support team they will give u this: "Good day! We apologized but the FG7008GR(AC) is a discontinued or end-of-life router so we do not have any more updated firmware." Lol

both are working??

i still cannot make it the internet to connect...IPTV straight away working...

the best part is, broadband led is light up, iptv not light up, under the webgui, iptv is green, internet is black...

pening mau setting ini router....

I didn't enable it and it works, is it recommended to enable fullcone??
Actually this is the worst part, the firmware is end of support but the firmware is full of bugs, nothing near to "stable release"...
my router's firmware sot already, now cannot configure 5ghz at all, if click in, the page will hang there, and can't open the web ui again, even on other devices, sometimes it load, but drop down list for region setting will be empty... /.\

Finally unboxed my FG7008GR and did some quick tests. At least I know my first Aztech wasn't a fluke.

iPerf3 30-sec test from Ubuntu server to MacBook Pro Retina 15" which is 3x3. Link speed was 1300Mbps TX on the mbpr. Can't see the RX link speed but assume it's also 1300 Mbps.

What a lovely router, I mean AP. Have not tried it as a router yet.

my iptv doesn't lights up even on web ui, but it is working fine.
you using stock firmware with aztech malaysia config loaded?

I got that b4.
U need to:
1. Reflash firmware .007 (to reset the wifi driver and quantenna firmware)
2. 30/30/30 Broadcom reset to clear configuration
3. Perform factory default from within web ui (to rewrite the web scripts to nand)

The new wireless driver should not contain DFS bands anymore since that affects reliability. Set region to Singapore for 5ghz works well but no DFS bands present.
Then all is good!

Im not sure why they enabled fullcone nat in the sellers unifi config, could be something to do with a firmware bug of pppoe not working on some peoples .007 firmware (like @soonwai). Theres a goofy warning message if u try to enable it "ONLY IF REQUIRED—DISABLES NETWORK ACCELERATION AND SOME SECURITY" but its a mystery if its actually true since u cant have multiple public ips on pppoe and that this message was placed by broadcom on all their socs.

Wow. Dunno why my note 8 always can only negotiate max 866mbps even tho is 3x3 ac..

How about nat throughput tho?

I have the same problem with iPhone 6s which 2x2. It connects only at 1x1 with the Aztech. I can't actually see that but the iPhone iperfs at a constant 300 Mbps. So I tested an iPad 2017 which is also 2x2 and that was fine. Around 515 Mbps.

Don't have Turbo yet so have not tested the router part of the Aztech.

stock firmware... off course aztech malaysia config loaded because i ask for it...

so, after all these steps, i need to back flash to .003 again in order to use unifi pppoe?? then after that will this problem happen again?
and another issue i'm facing is that sometimes the 5ghz's channel will change by itself, and sometimes can't be detect, or connected but cannot access internet...

Nice. A steal at RM60. It's practically identical to the Mikrotik RB750Gr3 except for the wifi and less ram. The Mikrotik is RM250.

For 5ghz stability just follow above steps should be fine. For unifi if it doesnt work u can either try reflashing .007, .006 or .003

I swear im gonna try making a custom firmware for this. Not lede but a modified aztech firmware with bugs removed (eg pppoe problem, quantenna soc auto reboot issue, 20mhz instead of 80mhz), and preincluded unifi/time/ap profile

please2.... dont worry, can give some donation for your effort...

Quantenna QV840
802.11ac Wave 2 4x4 MIMO: 4 spatial streams
• Operating frequencies: 4.9 to 5.85GHz
• Max modulation 256QAM (MCS9) Block Diagram
• Channel width 20/40/80MHz
• Up to 1.733Gbps PHY rate in 80MHz mode
• Digital Transmit Beamforming: both Explicit and Implicit
• Dual-core ARC-based network processor with hardware

Shit no turboqam (1024qam). Rip note 8

Read the pdf, I saw 802.11k, v, r are supported, means I can get two of it for AP and get roaming like what those mesh system do?

Yeah. U can provided u can biuld your own firmware for that haha

Oh but roaming should be supported out of the box imo
