sry abit blur on network

so if i choose the "RT-N800HP - 100Mbps" but im on unifi 800mbps
i wont get more then 100mbps? but it does have a gigabyte port no?

Just came back from TM point quill city mall

using 50mbps RM 179 high rise VDSL

asking to downgrade to the rm 129 plan,say cannot be done because of the infrastructure limitation

so i ask how?

She gave me 2 option:

1)downgrade to 30mbps for RM139
2) TM will announced a special programme within this month or next month for all customer that not eligible for turbo upgrade with a new price.so u need to wait for it.

maybe i will go other TM point and ask again.

It does, but I only meant that for wireless, not wired. Will add a description later. Lots of newbies like yourself is getting confused.

She is right though. If you are on VDSL, your speed is limited, unlike FTTH. Going to another TM point won’t change the fact that your infra does not support the speed that you want. Get your building management to update to full Fibre, or get TIME to come in.

v5/v4 refers to the firmware version? If i got v3 or below, can I just upgrade the firmware to v4/v5?

Nope, it refers to the hardware version. If you have v3 or below, you can’t upgrade to v4/v5 firmware. It is better to get the latest hardware version of a router.

My place indeed got TIME internet,jus my unifi still in contract,for 6 more months.if terminate now got penalty for the remaining months right?

You can go into the TIME thread and ask there, and see if TIME will be willing to cover your termination fee.

Would this Huawei be able to support 500mbps? Can't seem to find the model under the box?

so u mean the speed on the router 1st page only mean for wifi speed?
if i pick the one on 1st page saying 100mbps but if i use it via lan cable ill still get my full 300/500/800 or which ever package im on?
so lan cable does not matter even if i choose on the 100mbps but im using 800mbps?

so if i want higher wifi speed then choose accordingly to 1st pages?

Also, those who have turbo upgraded may want to update the router's firmware and the client's Ethernet/wireless driver first if possible

TIME will pay you back and compensate in your bills for RM 500.
TIME dealers in the thread will assist you.

Max 10/100Mbps

somehow i agree with u at this point.
anyway, we shd put hope to it and need more ppl like us (streamyx and unifi lite) that being slaved by TM to raise up their voice (comment in social media).
hopefully TM give a better plan within this mth as per some forumer said...

what is the admin password for dir842?

Wow, didn't know TIME will compensate you when you port over to them. Looks like a good deal .

Nope. Don't look like it will.

Yes. You got it right.

True. Could be a good suggestion. Will file that and add that later. Cheers bro.

Yes, if you are on VDSL and UniFi cannot be Turbo-ed while TIME is available for you, should go over to TIME.
The dealers will give you a lot of freebies in term of cash back. My friend will not be Turbo-ed as I checked for her, back in end July I switched her to TIME 100Mbps and helped her to get a lot of freebies even though she's out of TM contract.

The reason why I recommend updating the router's firmware is not just improving performance and reliability, but to fix critical security vulnerabilities as well which is very important considering there are plenty of high profile router exploits that target many consumer or even enterprise-grade routers

I agree completely, but updating the router firmware is quite risky, as in they might update incompatible firmware, or beta firmware, and if anything happened to a router that belongs to someone else, I might get blamed for it, so I try to stay away from giving any advice that requires them to change the setting on their PC or router, in the event they might brick it.
