Hi all

I just upgraded my router to Asus RT-AC68U. But after I properly set up all, the new router unable connect to internet, I have called TM and everything is working fine, thus I changed back to my old Asus Router and it still able connect to internet.

Would like to seek for advise, is there any special set up for Asus RT-AC68U?

Thank you

shifu here, i have roughly 15 tenants are staying 3 apartment units of mine, and I am staying unit 4, i have an unifi 50mbps which will be turbo-ed very soon.. so my question here, if im about to setup a wifi for them, what is the cheapest & best way to do so ? change my current modem to an expensive 1 ? or set up multiple wifi extender ?

P.S : i have a 24hours online pc, any way to setup a wifi for them & not slowing down my speed ?

You are right, but he might not have set Unifi Home, or Unifi Business, and did not tag the ports correctly, that’s why I tell him to select either mode.

Your best maintenance free option is to pull wire and connect it to router.

Repeaters are fine but you will have reliability issue and terrible speed for sure. It will be worst considering that you will need multiple repeats to reach the third unit.

So i have white BTU with DIR 850L
Connected Cat5e cable to DIR 850L however highest is 90++ MBPS

Unifi technical tried reset my port however still the same.

Login into admin of the router and check the LAN port as 1000 MBPS

Anything else I should be checking?

BTU might not support turbo speed, or misconfigurd to 100Mbps.

Currently on cat5e cable (as per label on the cable itself).
I am suspecting either the cable is not cat5e or the BTU...

Your speed is capped at 100Mbps, indicating that it is bottlenecked by Ethernet speed.

Can you make sure you use at least CAT5E

Enable NAT Boost in your router and make sure QoS is not enabled.

need some help from experts here regarding router setting...

my setup :

- BTU : Alcatel Lucent I240G
- Router : Dlink DIR-842 (NEW)
- Cable : CAT 6
- On Unifi 500Mbps

i follow the setup wizard in the dlink router to setup my unifi for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz...

i use my phone to connect to 5Ghz wifi and speedtest can reach around 200mbps, which is ok for me...then i use my laptop to connect to the 2.4Ghz wifi (my laptop does not support 802.11ac), the speedtest result is disappointing in which the result only give me 25mbps for both download and upload speed... sad.gif

before this i only use my old router which is the TP Link TL-WR841HP Wireless N router, and my laptop (connect to 2.4Ghz wifi) can get constantly good speed at around 75 to 80mbps for both download and upload speed, upon change to the dlink dir-842, the speed drops a lot and never can exceed 30mbps... sad.gif

have i done something wrong on the dlink 842 router setting? or i need to do extra setting for the 2.4Ghz wifi?

really appreciate some help here...thx a lot... smile.gif

Try to do factory reset the router, and then manually do the setup instead of using the setup wizard. Navigate to the WiFi setting page, try to change the frequency number
