Need help here...

How to enable 5ghz wifi? Already enabled both 2.4ghz and 5ghz on router setting, but cant find the 5ghz one.

Using dlink dir 878, unifi 100mb. Surf on laptop, note 9.

My previously dir 850L got 5ghz without problem.

Thank you.

Disable Smart Connect on Setting >Wireless. Your Smart Connect is enabled, so the router is deciding automatically which band, 2.4GHz or 5GHz, your device is connecting to. Disable it, and you will see it separate now.

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?
*
So going back to my case, I ordered Ugreen Cat 6 cables.
BTU to DIR850L using Cat6 cable.

Wifi test not more than 100 mbps
LAN using Cat6 cable also not more than 100mbps

BTU issue?

Have tried getting unifi personnel to reset my port as well. But same result

Refer to first page misconfigured BTU

Try to test the port speed of your BTU

Update your drivers, and if it still happening, change your adapter. Click on my link and read compatible USB wireless adapter.

Seems my device support it. Just now i accidentally put my note 9 above the router and suddenly got the 5ghz wifi but very weak. Just one to two bar signal.
But when i take up my phone, the signal lost. Try with another device also same.

Defect item? Should i go to the shop for exchange or claim warranty?

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

Does this apply to the TP-Link C3150 as well? Couldn't find it in the settings.

Nope, the TP-Link C3150 has NAT Boost applied already.

Found this in the tp-link official forum, about C7 v4.
user posted image
https://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?10...-V5-(and-older)

I'm using the C7 v4 but I am unable to test this as the account I'm using it with is only 100Mbps, and so far the router has been solid.
Will only be able to test it with 800Mbps some time next month

Any other owners can share their experience?

That only applies if PPPoE connection drops according to the post, and TM Unifi PPPoE connections won’t drop as the default setting on WAN page is always on, so don’t worry too much about it.

Get this as a minimum: TP-LINK Archer VR400. Get it from OOKAS.
