Hello,

I just bought a D-Link DIR-867 for my Unifi. However, it seems to have issues when setting up the Wifi ID and password and the wizard will go back to the starting point on wizard. I tried to do it manually but it kept getting out of the router and asked me to enter my router password every single time. Is it the firmware problem?? I tried to reflash it'll go back to the login page and enter password. Please help.

you need a 5ghz dual band adapter.

Althought dlink name it 300mbs wifi adapter, most likely it wont reach 300mbs.

Thanks for the info.

Let me get things straight, what are the effect of getting less channels with China sets? Poorer coverage, unable to detect certain devices or?

From my TP Link C1200, I saw there are 13 channels for 2.4GHz and 8 channels for 5GHz. If our channels are similar with SG, from the link you provided, I compare the SG 5GHz channels with China, all the 8 channels also have. So it is safe to say that buying China Asus router can work flawlessly in MY also?

Currently I think those gadgets use in my house, not all can support the upgraded speed.

- S9+
- Tab S3
- Mate 9 Pro
- Mate 10
- Minix H8 Plus
- Asus laptop with Ivy Bridge (not sure is this the correct name)
- Old PC
- Old Dell laptop
- Samsung smart tv
- Hp Officejet Pro printer
- And some old smartphones of my kids

But I always like to have something that can have future proof, so that I won't need to upgrade it so soon...

finally after long way fight,email,call, and last MCMC..my acc turbo-ed to 500Mbps



Modified order on 4:04PM today and completed.

Btw, my current laptop can only support 2.4Ghz connection with the router. So in order for me to get a higher connection speed, I need to get an external wifi adapter that run in USB3.0 right?

Do I need to disable the internal wifi adapter manually or window will automatically do it for me once it detect the external wifi adapter?

Between TP Link Archer T4U (AC1300 MU-Mimo) and Archer T9UH (AC1900), which one can achieve higher speed and wider coverage on the 5GHz band from 800MB unifi? Does the MU-Mimo play an important role here?

I disabled manually.

Noted. Tq for your answers

Done, but my utorrent become slower, or didnt connect to peers at all. After enabling, then only connected 🤔

i am using RT-AC68U, latest firmware

when i NAT Acceleration CTF (Cut Through Forwarding) is enabled i can get max speed 500Mbps for my UniFi 500Mbps package

when i disabled it, i only can get 300Mbps

the problem is when i enabled, after few days, my speed test might drop and drop until 20-30Mbps... if disabled, i can consistently getting 300Mbps forever when running speed test (somehow unable to achieve 500Mbps)

any sifues here can helps? if i leave it disabled, my speed test only close to 300Mbps unable to reach 500Mbps
if i leave if enabled, day by day the router speed seems dropping and have to restart

Updated firmware?

Less channels to jump to, if it gets congested. That is all. Just get it and you won't regret it.

Yes. You need an external WiFi adapter that runs in USB3.0
You don't need to disable the internal NIC. It will co-exist with your USB wireless adapter. T9UH of course, and no. MU-MIMo only works if all your devices support MU-MIMO.

Your UPNP or portforwarding may have issue.

Reason for disabling µtp = it is UDP based ---> NAT Boost / Acceleration doesn't exactly work for UDP.

I thought you are supposed to get 800Mbps? Why 500Mbps only?

they reduce my price to 158

I see, still OK la for the price for 500Mbps.

Will definitely will replace the stock router by TM. Need more study before decide which model to take, as this consider a costly investment. Mostly will wait for the latest AX series router to arrive in MY 1st, then only proceed... In the mean time, survey for the best deal for each model~

Are you saying that for MU-MIMO to fully utilize, all my device must that connected to the router must be MU-MIMO ready?

how did u complain?

I can't even update it but based on the top nav bar. it stated that it is using version 1.00 which is the first release firmware. On D-Link Malaysia website, that is the only firmware i can get.

Yes. That is the ugly hidden truth lol. So, MU-MIMO is pretty much useless if all your device but one does not support MU-MIMO. It will help, but don't expect it to help much. See here: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wi...-t-need-mu-mimo

Damn, you should have got the TP-Link Archer C7 v5. It is comparable to the DIR-867, and much better with newest firmware.
