you are right, it work fine, dont kacaw it.

also just found the 2 FW on DLINK website has "DIR842C1" on the file name, may not suit my Router which is DIR842 C2.

This one is good enough?

Also, RM13 for 30 meters seems to suggest that it might be a copper clad cable, rather than pure copper one. Some manufacturers use copper-clad aluminum wires (i.e. 'wrapping' the aluminum wire with copper) to save cost

Even AMP Netconnect 5 meter CAT5e cable cost something like RM34

Did you even read the 1st page at all? Stop buying dodgy RJ45 cable from China and see the brand I list on the 1st page!

True. It is up to him. Already given him the link so if he still wants to buy cheap cable from China, it is his prerogative.

I see... so the non TM firmware, any difference or improvement?

Yea, for now i use USB first, after i got some time, i get the Prolink 40m ?, to route from the router ( picture i shown you all ) all the way to my room.

Seems like going TM Point Menara TM doesnt get any better also.

My bill details shows in portal but cant see the PDF statement yet. RM202..

On the upgrade part, order cancelled but now order processing.

They come to show that they came and get some money for the visit too, without lifting a finger. So, why not?

Don't be so judgmental towards him

Anyway, note that lower quality cables tend to degrade signal quicker over distances compared to high quality ones

In addition, longer copper cables (especially those lower quality, copper-clad ones) may mean lower signal quality over such distances, and thus result in a slower link

StuartLee2015 's slow network issue is particularly a good example here as he actually called TM's technician to fix his issue, only to find out that the issue comes from his CAT5e cable

I got the sms like 4 hours ago and they came to just check the speed i mean only one of the 3 guys. So i signed the paper and they left 😅

I would give my 10 to the oldest guy who did the speed test but the other 2 just sate down and looked at their instagram lol

Not being judgemental, but I have given him the link to the 1st page, and yet he still asked my opinion on the suitable RJ45 LAN cable, and even give me a link on some random brand from China, which might or might not be shit. How do you think I should respond when everything is written on the 1st page?

No worries, the billing department screwed it up. We can always complain.

Thanks for the recommendation on 1st page, might have to buy UGREEN cable instead.

No idea, I don't have DIR-842.
I only have C1200 and DIR850L.

Confirms that one is copper-clad aluminium cable. The price is way too cheap.

I know your feel my friend

My bill is RM169 +sst RM179. 30 Mbps high rise too. Contract expires next year.

Not eligible for turbo upgrade. Max speed at apartment building 30 or 50 Mbps only, heard no 100 Mbps at high rise so me not upgrading to the RM129 plan.

What the others in our same boat do?

1) Stay same package, same price. No turbo ever.
2) Stay same package, asking for reduced price ( Can aa?)
3) Upgrading to RM129 100 Mbps knowing can only get half the speed at best but at least no quota, and cheaper plan

4) Downgrade to RM79 30 Mbps with quota + 2 new contract years
5) Migrate to Maxis Fibre Rm89 30 Mbps no quota, add RM10 unlimited calls (my floor has no maxis fibre yet, levels below me got)
6) Migrate to TIME (My place not within coverage)
7) Something else entirely


Currently I'm using Unifi stb as my Kodi box. If downgrade, need to buy own stb or watch on laptop and really need to plan quota for my streaming viewing

For no.4, I'm waiting to see how much the add-on quota would be priced. Need to wait till next year to know.

No 5 is appealing for the price alone
