Copy from previous thread:
I just checked my Unifi acc dashboard and noticed a modify order on 30th July but I don't remember doing anything to unifi on that day. Turbo upgrade perhaps? But plan still UniFi Advance Plus 50Mbps (Thank You Campaign 2017) despite eligible for turbo upgrade phase 1 (aug to dec 18)

can't login, probably server overload, database mainty or well, could be anything......

Had a look again on this month's bill and judging by how many didn't get turboed but price discount, I'm sorely dissapointed that I might be one of them.

Before then it used to be RM169 (internet) + RM30 (HyppTV Platinum pack) = RM199 monthly w/ RM50 discount perpetual

Now it's the same price but upgrade the useless one (since my parents watched on unblock tv)

What are the chances to get turbo speed?? I don't have much hope on TM anymore......

Bandar Botanic, Klang btw

So I finally got turbo to 500Mbps and I'm looking to upgrade the network infra in my house.

Current Setup:
Ground Floor
- Alcatel Lucent I-240G-P -> TP-Link Archer C7 v2
- Router connects to Unblock Tech Android TV box and TP-Link PA4010 (1)
- TP-Link PA4010 (2) connects to my brother's PC in the back room

First Floor
- TP-Link PA4020 connect to my PC at the living room directly above where my Unifi setup is

I can see a few options and none involves pulling long ethernet wires across the house just cause. So, the following option I thought of:

1. New router on ground floor and use the existing one as AP on first floor, running one powerline set to my brother's PC.
2. Assuming I found a contractor to pull the fiber cable to the first floor and setup the modem and router there, leaving one/two? set of powerline to my brother's PC (or the android TV box since it got internal wifi receiver).
3. New router and AP setup, no powerline so brother's PC uses wifi adapter
4. New router, all PC uses wifi receiver (final resort)

As my family constantly uses their mobile devices, the TV box, PCs simultaneously for mainly media streaming, gaming and such, in terms of cost, speed and feasibility, which would be more suitable?

Sorry if I'm either dumb or just confused but am I looking something like this? (Again no running long cable across the house if possible)

Ground Floor (Alcatel Lucent I-240G-P -> New Router) --(LAN Cable/Gigabit powerline?)--> First Floor (TP-Link Archer C7 v2 -> PCs)

So, anyone gonna try buying one TP Link modem router to replace their BTU now that TM change to that? Or probably not possible due to needing TM to config stuff inside it?

What? How you do that with a alcatel lucent i-240-g-p?

Going to get new router/mesh network system/something to upgrade the house infra today (Refer here for original setup) with some options in mind:

(Mostly based on suggestion on first post and some other sources)
1. TP-Link Archer C3150
2. TP-Link Deco M9 Plus
3. TP-Link Archer C5400
4. TP-Link Archer 5400X
5. Netgear Orbi RBK50
6. Netgear Nighthawk X4S R7800
7. Netgear Nighthawk X6S R8000P
8. Netgear Nighthawk AC3200 R8000
9. Asus Lyra Trio
10. Asus Blue Cave
11. Asus RT-AC86U
12. Asus RT-AC5300

Any better suggestion would be appreciated, thanks!

After over 3 hours of surveying, researching and asking around in LYP about how to setup my home network w/ Turbo 500Mbps (even tho I did my homework here and there and somewhere......)

Finally end up with something like this:

Home Profile
- 2 Storey House
- Around 1700 sq ft
- 3 location to setup

Ground Floor
- Alcatel Lucent I-240G-P --> TP-Link Deco M9 Plus (1) thru RJ45 Cat5e Cable
- Deco 1 --> Unblock Tech Android TV Box thru 5m RJ45 Cat5e Cable
- (Back Room/Drum Room) Deco 2 --> Brother's PC thru RJ45 Cat5e Cable

First Floor
- Deco 3 --> TP-Link 5 Port Easy Smart Switch TL-SG105E (Switch) thru RJ45 Cat5e Cable
- Switch --> My PC and other 2 laptops thru RJ45 Cat5e Cable

I know there will be some asking why I didn't just drill holes, lay long ass cables or get more better routers just to get the highest speed and most stable net possible, but wire-free tidiness and budget means I can't go crazy with the setup (until the foreseeable future that is)

So far the speed tests I did on DSLReports on my 1st floor PC with around 10 devices using the network gives me an average speed of around 450Mbps down and 100Mbps up. Of course I'm happy with what I got so far so it'll have to do for now.

10 tests result I did after the setup


P/S: The line before was old tests on the old setup which can be refer here
PP/S: Guess who got the only 2 Deco M9 Plus in LYP and possibly Klang Valley?
