Is setting up c2300 plug and play. Do we need to input our unifi username and password?

I just got the router today and I can't seem to connect to the Internet. In the router page it says Internet status is connecting.
In Windows network adapter options under ipv4 connectivity : no internet access

Hi, you need to setup by keying PPPoE Login Credentials.
ID, For e.g. XXXX@unifi

Thanks.

I couldnt find the place to input that. The 'Let's Get Started' does not show any option for this. Also in the Basic Tab, i couldnt find where to input the credentials

I found it!
When using the "Quick Setup", it detected the internet connection type as Dynamic IP. I have changed it to PPPoE and now im able to input username and pw

Hi, did you manage to connect to the Internet?

Thanks.

Yes!

Glad to hear that.

Have a nice day.

Thanks.

Tried this way before. Same issue.

Firmware Version:
3.15.1 Build 160715 Rel.50549n
Hardware Version:
Archer C7 v2 00000000

Bought from TP LINK MALAYSIA via Lazada on 2017

Hi Sifu

Just bought c2300 from ookas.. now I’m installing the router but I says failed “internet not connected. Please check if your phone cable is well-connected”

What would be the potential error.

I'm no sifu, but will list down some potential fixes :

1. LAN cable connected to wrong port?
2. UniFi username incorrect
3. VLAN tagging? (I think TPlink has it preconfigured though)
4. DNS error? (Try using other DNS on router, OpenDNS, Google, Cloudflare etc)

Thanks for your feedback, check through all and seems like I need to do VLAN tagging after enable HyppTV everything looks fine now.

Wired connection can get 500mbps but on 5g WiFi even though next to the router can only get around 200-230mbps.

Is this normal?

speed of wifi connection is pretty normal. Try testing it on your phone (2-3 year old phone should get u around 300+mbps). On my laptop i'm getting 180mbps through wifi even though im next to router because of my wifi-card limitation

U can opt to upgrade your wifi-card if u want to get full speed, i heard Asus USB-AC68 is a very good USB dongle

Or just use wired connection for maximum stability and speed

On my iPhone XR I can get around 250.. that’s around similar speed with my old TM stock router..

Hmm, that's odd indeed, would expect the iphone XR to be able to hit 400 at least on a c2300 . Perhaps sifu silentvampire can help you with this since he's using a c2300 as well

Try setting the 5GHz bandwidth to 80MHz, if it is not set already, and see if that will increase the speed. iPhone XR is only 2x2 MIMO so don't have any high expectations. By the way, if your firmware has not been updated to the latest version, do that. It won't help with the speed, but will fix some bugs.

It potentially could, but it is hard to say with wifi. I am using C3150 by the way. Thank you for the tag though.

Oh! How's the performance on the c3150? Have you encountered any overheating issues? Just ordered myself a c3150 and returned the Dlink 895L . I'm just looking for a stable connection (1 room away from router, roughly 4 meters away).

Currently using asus ac66u 1st gen( 800mhz CPU), getting 160-180mbps through wifi 5ghz. Hoping to get around 300 with the c3150

Nope. Very stable. You will be satisfied with it. Better not have any high expectations about your wifi speed. It depends on your device as well, so even if you have the best router in the world, but your device is not up to it, you won’t get the speed that you want.

Did you use the smart connect functionality at your router?


Just an update on my WiFi speed connection on my iPhone XR.
After play around with the setting in the end I just put auto at my channel and after disabling multi user mimo features WiFi speed on my phone increase to 500mbps which surprised me!

Nope. That is good to hear. At least you are getting the full speed now.

Hi LYN Sifus.

My 100M Maxis fiber having problem each time 3users and above streaming at the same time.

Should i upgrade current ori router (TPLink Archer C5v AC1200)?

Or is it because of others reasons?

Kindly help to advice. Tq Sifuss
