if my home got 8-10 device connecting using wifi, what spec should i look at when choosing a router?

i just told i can upgrade my streamyx to 10Mbps unifi, but tm won't give me new modem.

may i know can my Dlink DSL-2750E fully utilized 5Mbps upload speed? I saw its spec mentioned 1 Mbps upstream only, else what modem i should buy?

- High-Speed internet
Latest ADSL2/2+ standards provide Internet transmission of up to 24 Mbps downstream,
1 Mbps upstream

Hi, i just upgrade my streamyx to unifi 10Mbps.

TMnet gave me ZTE zxhn h267a modem, but the wifi coverage not that good for my room.

Is it possible to use my old D-Link DSL-2750E as wifi repeater, by connecting my Dlink to ZTE modem through LAN cable?

o see, so i can use lan over dlink but not wifi... then have to buy wifi extender liao

my budget is below RM150

I just got a used Axtech WL559E from my relative, but i cannot connect to http://10.0.10.254 through LAN for configuration, always got page not found after try it with 3 different LAN cable on 3 PC/laptop.

Is it need some different LAN cable to connect to it? I press the factory reset button for 20 seconds also nothing happen


default setting of Aztech


always cannot connect to http://10.0.10.254, so i tried to set the IP manually, is it correct? but also not working....

can access point have wifi also? maybe I can set different SSID name since it cannot work like wifi repeater sharing the same SSID and password?

It works!!! i use the wizard to setup and quite simple. Now have 2 different SSID to use in my house.

But somehow i found the internet response become slower even when i connect to my ZTE modem. once it manage to contact the website, i'm getting the internet speed i subscribe to, but first contact with the website looks very slow, is it because of the bridge or interference from 2 SSID signals?

And with or without DHCP is the same for me, what is the difference actually?


my Dlink setup, can i use 192.168.1.1? it is same as my ZTE modem

my ZTE modem is using 192.168.1.1 as the gateway address or as DHCP server address.


but right now my Dlink model which set as bridge mode connect to ZTE model port1 also set its router IP address as 192.168.1.1. Will this create any conflict?

change to 192.168.0.2 not 192.168.1.2?

let me try it. thanks for your helpful tips, I really appreciate it.

thanks confirming on that, let me try it tonight and see if it solve the issue where my internet data always freeze half way when connecting to the wifi of second modem in bridge mode

after i set my dlink modem in bridge mode to ip address of 192.168.1.2, it is shown as IP address of 0.0.0.0 in my ZTE modem status

and my laptop which connect to Dlink through wifi is shown as IP address of 192.168.1.6 with LAN1 connection, instead of wifi.

Ohya, I still got internet connection when connecting to my dlink modem

If I want to use my old Dlink modem in bridge mode(thru LAN cable) as another wifi access point in my house, do I select ISP as Streamyx(PPPoE) or Others during the setup?


i used to setup it successfully before but after reset it, it keep having this error saying "string too long"

i also have following LAN setup already

I see. So my current setting is correct already

I'm using 10Mbps unifi lite with the given ZTE ZXHN H267A modem. Can we use our own modem for this 10Mbps unifi lite broadband? and what modem is recommended?

i see, so have to use the given modem. This modem abit slow when I use VPN from my laptop, unless i reboot it then it become fast. There is no feature that allow us to schedule daily reboot on the modem.

I'm using ZTE ZXHN H267A from tmnet on my 10Mbps unifi lite. Not sure why starting this month sometimes my samsung galaxy phone will lose the wifi connection from time to time even though it is few meters away from the modem. So thinking to purchase one new router.

Can I use a router and connected to this ZTE modem where all my wifi and LAN connection from other devices connect to this router?

House type: Landed 2 storey
Size of house: 2 floors (22 x 75 ft land house )
Number of devices connected to WiFi: 6-9 devices
Internet Speed: Unifi lite 10Mbps
Budget: RM250

if i'm using unifi 30Mbps only, Archer C50 should be good enough and no need to buy the more expansive Archer A6 right?

Hi, I'm a 2-storey house with 3 bedroom, should be 1000 sqft.

If need second router, I can set it as access point mode which should share the same ssid and password as the 1st router right?

so if i set the same SSID, I do not need to manually connect to second router wifi and re-key in the password again? just want to be clear, as need to help my parent to setup their devices.


actually I already purchase Archer C50 from lazada before i ask here

but it's oky, i can purchase again. my budget is RM200, but I saw Archer C80 is RM260 on lazada, maybe can upgrade to this when I got my unifi. Does this Archer C80 able to auto select the best wifi channel by checking the nearby wifi channel from time to time or we have to manually scan and select the best wifi channel ourselves?
