Yesterday I tested the speed on 4x Unifi 800Mbps account (all at the same building but different floors)
I use UGREEN USB3 to gigabit ethernet adapter (link here on lazada) since my laptop only comes with fast ethernet.
the relevant laptop specs;
i5 4210
8GB ddr3l ram
240gb ssd

Router used, yes for all 4 accounts
Draytek Vigor 2130n (it's a product released in 2010 or so)

Cable used to test on my laptop: Unitek CAT6 20m

However on all 4 accounts, the max speed that I could get was around 720Mbps
I'm wondering if this is due to using the ugreen adapter, or the dated Vigor 2130n or just the line being not stable since it's the so called pilot phase
I notice during each speedtests it would hit past 500Mbps quickly before slowing a bit.
Had to try a few times to get that max figure, but the speed never dipped below 500Mbps.
Unfortunately for now I have no other device to test with  sweat.gif

or could it be the cable being too long?  hmm.gif

Note that using converters like USB 3.0 -> Ethernet may introduce some overhead icon_idea.gif

Might want to try using a newer machine with Gigabit Ethernet built-in icon_idea.gif

There might be a CPU bottleneck too - JohnLai may be able to explain this hmm.gif

Got turbo-ed 300mbps shown in my unifi portal, but speed is 100mbps (Already check with cat5e cable and gigabit port).

Now I need to check with TM whether I am paying 300mbps price but getting 100mbps speed.  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif

May I know the make and model of the Ethernet cable? (CAT5e cable) hmm.gif
Also, if possible, provide a product link of the cable hmm.gif

All you need to do is to write the text printed on the cable itself icon_idea.gif

Might be an issue of copper-clad aluminum (CCA) Ethernet hmm.gif


The make and model of your BTU (modem) and the router also helps too icon_idea.gif

Sorry for the post, I left out checking cable from BTU to my router.  My bad  notworthy.gif

Able to get ~280mbps on 5ghz wifi, then I suspect they haven help me change plan to 100mbps.

Will check with them tomorrow again.

280Mbps on 5GHz is quite good icon_idea.gif

The only problem is that the cable you used (CAT5e) may be bottlenecking your wired setup due to its copper-clad aluminum design. It's important to get a high quality CAT6 cable (with pure copper) like what SilentVampire recommended in the first page icon_idea.gif

SilentVampire To be fair to TM though - they did:

https://unifi.com.my/better-unifi-experience/index.html

The problem is that the uninitiated may not know what equipment to buy and how to set them up or fails to understand the limitations of WiFi connections sweat.gif

There's also the problem of some people who are unwilling to shell out money for a decent router rclxub.gif

Why would people want a router from TM? rclxub.gif

Just buy your own router - it's not like they are expensive to begin with. There are plenty of good routers right now and SilentVampire even put up a list of recommended routers for your turbo connection icon_idea.gif

Bonus points: you can reuse the current router as an access point/repeater if you are upgrading your old router to a new one in the future icon_idea.gif

SilentVampire It's not exactly their fault (user) though, as I can tell you that explaining tech to the uninitiated can be daunting and very frustrating (I have been at the same boat as yours before) sweat.gif

Not all people are networking gurus, and thus this is the exact reason why we have this thread for - to inform users on how to pick the best networking equipment for their turbo connection icon_idea.gif

So i've posted here before, situation is :

-Turbo-ed 500mbps

-Alcatel 240-G-P (white TM box) BTU, link speed shows 1gbps with cat5e cable to PC on LAN1 port.

-Asus AC66U router, latest firmware, NAT acceleration auto (can't force ON), QOS off, LAN cable connected directly to PC with cat5e (1gbps link state) , max speed <110mbps DL .

So i thought it was TM side, gave it a few days but still no progress. Today at a colleagues place, using Alcatel 240G (silver square box) and Tp-link Archer (TM router), achieved 200+ mbps on 5ghz on my phone speedtest. checked WAN cable and its the standard TM cat5e. 

My question is, possible for my cat5e (tried 2 cat5e cables, one from asus, one from TM) to be faulty? since it shows 1gbps link speed, or router setup i'm missing? Checked NAT acceleration auto (CTF enabled).

Which router can support 1024-qam (turboqam) ?
*
I think the C3150 will do that - but you don't really need that since 1024-QAM will only works when your equipment is on line-of-sight, i.e. the client will need to be positioned within sight range of the router icon_idea.gif

At such distances you might want to use an Ethernet cable instead icon_idea.gif
