That should support the gigabit speed. What RJ45 cable are you using? You need at least Cat 5e cable to support the 800Mbps speed. I recommend Cat 6 as the price is not that different from Cat 5e.

Hi,

I logged into my Unifi provided D-Link DIR-850L router. Under Features>Fierwall, I find that all the options are set to "Disabled" Is this normal?? I am a noob in IT. Please help. Also, how do I go to the page where I can see which computers/devices are connected to my wireless modem?

Thanks

Nope, but if you are a noob, better not enable anything that you are unsure of. Just click around and you will find it. I recommend changing routers if you want to have the freedom to configure everything yourself.

Its written "cat 5e" on the body.
got a few cables around all which are cat 5e written.

4 files download simultaneously via ftp:


no matter how i try, its the same.
even for HTTP downloads, they are maxed at that speed.

Get a new Cat 6 cable if you can, and test again. Stop using the same cable.

is Belkin router compatible with Unifi?

is that the TP-Link Archer C1200 does not have Wifi repeater feature?

just happen to have 2nd unit of this

damn wasted if cannot use it

Nope, Belkin networking division is pretty much dead now.


Nope, it does not support repeater mode unfortunately.

Hi. I'm planning to buy a new powerline for the house. Currently I'm looking at Tp-link AV1300. However based on my friend's experience of using powerline(AV600), it never reach max speed compared to connect directly to the modem. According to him, when he tested direct from modem, it goes up to 800Mbps but when he connected to powerline in the next room, it only reach 50Mbps.

May I know if by using AV1300 can increase the speed compared to AV600?

Thanks.

Maximum speed you can reach is 100Mbps. Powerline is not efficient in real world situation.

For AV1300? How do you calculate that? Any other suggestion to boost wifi speed in a particular room?

Get mesh WiFi.

Either TP-Link Deco M9 Plus or Asus AiMesh. The rest are quite poor.

There's UBNT Amplifi but hard to obtain.

Hi guys,

I was tinkering around with my router to use Google ipv6 DNS but I did not make a copy of the previous settings.

Is this setting right if I want to use Google ipv6 DNS?

Router is TP-Link Archer C1200.

Yes. It is correct.

Tick the box which mention PPPOE same session with IPv4 connection.

Select DHCPv6 option from Get IPv6 address.

Thanks.

Got it! Thanks so much!

EDIT:
Doesn't seem to be working. I'm not getting the IPv6 tag when I post here in the forums and ipv6test.google.com is saying I don't have IPv6. My router does say it is connected to IPv6 though.

Where did I do wrong?

Try to restart your router or try to select different options below.
Try to change the LAN Assigned type.

Thanks.

Rebooted. Tried DHCPv6 on the Assigned LAN type. Same thing.

Try 2nd or 3rd option.

You're using TIME right?

Thanks.

I'm using Unifi 500mbps. Sorry should've mentioned that earlier.

Will try again when I get home.

Why do you want to get IPv6 though? It won’t increase your connection speed or WiFi speed. Your router does not support 500Mbps on WiFi.
