QUOTE(laytiong @ Oct 3 2018, 10:35 AM) I just got the AC18 from Shopee a few days back. After discounts and all abt RM255. Congrats, my plan is 300Mbps, RM255 is really cheap, which merchant?Setup was a breeze, less than 10 mins I'm up and running. Reboot duration is very short. About 1 min. 2.4GHz signal is STRONG. I have 100mbps line and I can easily get 50mbps on it anywhere in double storey house. Even in toilet where I'm surrounded by more than 4 walls 5GHz signal is not as strong as 2.4GHz but now it is easier for me to get 100mbps consistently around the house. The coverage area is also much bigger than my previous TPLink AC1200. Unifi TV works on LAN port 4 with no lag. So far it has been good, no freezing yet. Everything is snappy. Didn't want to pay upwards of RM500 for TPLink or Asus ones. |

QUOTE(noskyreason @ Mar 25 2019, 05:38 PM) I just bought A6 from OOKAS. Originally wanted to get A7 but no budget. Here is what I understand from OOKAS: A6 & A7 wifi range is about the same. In some reviews, A6 even able to perform better speed in far distance compare to A7, this might thanks to it's newer Qualcomm QCA9886 chipset, also 5 antennas (4 x external, 1 x internal). But so far A6 has been serving me quite well, P20 pro can get ~280mbps (need to nearby router, but not side by side la haha). QUOTE(maruteamatklang @ Mar 28 2019, 09:24 PM) Bought A6 from ookas. Speed not bad and range similiar asus rtn12hp. How much u guys bought the A6?5gh can reach 310mbps 2.4g can reach only up to 100mbps. Tested side by side with router edit: Can't find this in physical store, it this Archer A6 only sold online? This post has been edited by MGM: Mar 29 2019, 09:24 AM |

QUOTE(OOKAS @ Mar 29 2019, 11:01 AM) Hi MGM, yes this is an exclusive online model. I thought of buying TPlink TL-WR841n(rm59) for use with my Unifi300mbps this couple of days and will use as backup/repeater later while waiting for A6.You can get this from our Shopee or Lazada store. https://shopee.com.my/TP-LINK-Archer-A6-MU-...0984.1920146592 https://www.lazada.com.my/-i460328570-s7277...lFlag=true&mp=1 Let us know if you need any help TPlink TL-WR841n can be used for Unifi right?

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Mar 29 2019, 10:08 AM) QUOTE(OOKAS @ Mar 29 2019, 01:09 PM) Hi MGM, we actually recommend you to better wait until you get the A6 then only decide need an access point or not. TL-WR841N is too low specs for 300Mbps bandwidth. By the way, A6 able to work as access point also I have just received my A6 ordered last Friday, after browsing thru https://www.blacktubi.com/tp-link-unifi/ , looks like I need to get the username n password from 100 or livechat. Called 100 n password will be set within 24 hours, and not immediate.If you really want to use to tahan for now, can oso lah, but need to expect the bandwidth via WiFi around 40-90mbps. Delivery from Lazada normally is 2-4 working days, if peak season (like 11.11) 3-5 working days. haha, thanks for your support My account created since 2012 but never posted anything haha, so this year I try to really start posting more This post has been edited by MGM: Apr 2 2019, 11:24 PM |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Apr 4 2019, 04:18 PM) Doubt you can sell it as well. Even my old DIR-850L is collecting dust just in case the current router fails. I am trying to configure DIR615(firmware7.19) as a wireless repeater but the video I got from google is on DIR615( firmware 20.07) with different interface. Now stuck dont know what to do. |

QUOTE(LostAndFound @ Nov 9 2019, 09:55 PM) Hi, I've been using Huawei WS880 but it finally burnt during the recent storms. As I'm on YEP I asked for TM to renew contract and give me new router (DIR-842), which is working but coverage like not enough in the corners of the house (1600 sqft terrace, fully renovated to the back, 2 and a half storeys with the router in the middle of the house just next to airwell). Since u have recently signed up for YEP, U requested a new router for free but will be charged rm53 for installation, right? Do I need mesh wifi (which I think is for much bigger houses)? If I prefer single router to cover all, what's my options (budget <1k if possible). What resources can I use to check wifi coverage/strength of router? Did your contract renew again starting from the date of new router replacement? |
