Yeah I know. But the fact that I had it and now it's gone kills me. Lol.

EDIT: Oh hey, I'm on IPv6 now. Yay!

Hi

I am currently live in a high rise building with a 50mbps package. I doubt TM will upgrade anytime soon. What simplest, inexpensive, router i can use? Was looking at Tenda 10U. My stock router is Networks from TM (quite old) and the performance has been bad lately. I am planning to upgrade to TIME later but for now need to use UNIFI.

Thanks

Hi, you can buy Tenda AC10U for your needs.

Do refer to your PM TIME Fibre.

Thanks.

Thanks Bro

Is the firmware Archer C1200(US)_V3_180122 for the Archer 1200 from Unifi? Sorry if this have been asked before thanks

i am living with my relative with stay just next house to mine. can i know if wifi powerline work so that i can extend my wifi to his house?
there is also another product wifi extender in the market. may i know which work the best in this situation, wifi powerline or wifi extender?

If on a separate supply, won't work.

If you are using a good wifi router, may be able to work direct. Else, pull a network cable over and put up an AP.

For 500mbps Unifi,

Is it better to get the
1) D-link DIR-867
or
2) Tenda AC18

I find a pretty alright price for both, Tenda AC18 is about rm70 cheaper.

I searched Blacktubi's website, and i find D-link DIR-867 and no Tenda AC18 review.

I've looked up Tenda's specification, it seems to be able to support up to 600mbps for 2.4 GHz, so it shouldnt bottleneck the speed I am getting, if any.

I see no reason to not get the AC18, other than maybe brand not established (?, sorry i am very noob at this networking thing, all ive heard of it D-link and TP-link) or maybe its harder to set up or something?

I would very appreciate if someone can help me by telling me how the DIR 867 is better than the AC 18. Thanks in advance.

DIR-867 will be faster than the Tenda due to the much newer chipset.

The maximum speed possible is 100Mbps on 2.4Ghz, there's no easy way to get to even 200Mbps realistically.

U mean for the Tenda right.

Does chipset also affect the wifi range. Coz right now, for wireless devices, i only have mobile phones at home while my desktop and tv is hooked on ethernet cable. 100 mbps might still be acceptable, but im concerned about the range/penetration ( if say same floor and only 1 wall to penetrate anywhere, as i would want to set up AP with my old router or use range extenders for upstairs.

Btw, thank you for your guides and reviews on your website. It has been really informative

Hi. Can someone suggest me decent router for gaming? The one that would prioritise my device compared to other. Eg: I can play dota 2 without being affected if my brother is streaming movies/dowloading software. Budget rm300 below.

You may also consider D-Link DIR-868L, around RM 169-199. Can get around 460 mbps. Also support Tomato firmware.

Hi guys, I would like to seek some advise or recommendation. I am currently staying double story terrace house. My unifi upgraded to 800mb so I hope to be able to get speed to whole house.

Currently I am still using the given tm c1200 and it is located at the corridor of 1st floor. The centre of the house. Currently I have 2 cable running to desktop on the 1st floor. I have a repeater wa850re downstair that link to android box and TV.

Few question
1. Does changing to better router will increase the coverage
2. Which is better choice between aimesh by Asus vs those like tplink deco m9

Thanks

Hi,
1. Change router will improve the speed and coverage.
2. For TP-Link M9 PLUS, I'm not sure about the compatibility support of Unifi TV.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

Current deciding to either to change router or add mesh. Which is the better choice. If router change, what will be recommendations

What's your budget?
For Mesh System can support up to 500Mbps only.

Thanks.

Budget should be around 1k

Hi, you may get the TP-Link C3150.
If you can top up more RM 250. You can get the TP-Link C5400X.

TP-Link Archer C3150
TP-Link Archer C5400X

Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation on device. base on what u said about mesh only support 500mb... so i guess u recommend to change router is a better choice. will it improve the coverage compare to c1200

Yes, changing router is a better choice.
It will improve the coverage.

You may ask this guy SilentVampire as he is using C3150.
I'm using TIME and using own router instead of stock router.
C1200 cannot tahan with 800Mbps. I'm using 500Mbps, always got disconnection.

Thanks.
