the real turbo is look like this

I already asked the TM guy that day he come my house to check the connection about why can't reach 500mbps full speed (only 300mbps). He say only provide free TP-Link or D-Link. So I don't want, I will upgrade my router later.

I hope can terminate the hypptv because I never use it. The STB provided by TM was thrown and use my own tvbox to watch astro iptv.

you are eligible to upgrade to turbo if your condo is using FTTH fiber, as long as your devices are BTU+router.
However, some of them may using VDSL modem. Probably they need to wait for technician to pull the new fiber cable into their home.

I was read your given first page and my Asus RT-AC55UHP is rated as 300mbps. However, the current situation is my Unifi was turboed to 500mbps but my speedtest for "network cable" wired connection only can reach 300mbps (not wireless speed). Just need to clarify, the information for first page is based on wired or wireless?

no, because your router need a BTU

If like that, you can do it yourself as long as you have the password of your unifi ID

Yes, performance are the same. The new version of RT-AC86U is 1.8GHz dual core CPU. You buy from China also the same. Just depends on your choice, for me is ok. I was placed order from taobao to buy a CNY899 RT-AC86U, the router can flash to both Asus official firmware or Merlin custom firmware. The seller also free two fans for me to attach behind that router.

So you can calculate CNY899 divided by 1.63 after conversion rate + bank charges is equal to RM551.54.
Delivery charges from China is RM30++ something. So I assume total purchase is RM590.
If you buy the same router in local here, they are selling around RM1,400 for this router.

Is it worth for you to pay the extra RM810 for warranty?

RM810, I can buy one more RT-AC86U from taobao to build AImesh. I still have RM220 in my pocket.

Usually Asus is quite hard to get broken down. I am now using RT-AC55UHP for more than 2 years but never broken down. Connection is very stable and never complain. So, do you think RM810 really worth to pay for Asus warranty? It is cost too much for me.

if you buy the T-mobile version from taobao, they do not ship to outside of China, unless you have to register a forwarder to get yourself a china warehouse address. So you can let the seller ship to your china address. After the router arrive to your china address, the forwarder will update to you then let you to arrange the payment of shipping charges.
Usually they will treat as sensitive item for items which is not ship out from china.

So for best solution, just buy the china version. For best is only buy from Tmall seller.

this router is selling CNY1399(around RM860) in Tmall. Quite cheap you know? In Malaysia here, RM860 only can afford to buy a RT-AC68U. However, RT-AC86U is more than enough for me.

no need to jailbreak. just restore back to the old os version. the backup file is inside the stb. you need to restart then press some key on the remote control to boot into bootloader, i forgot already. you can search in google too.

i also install es file explorer last time into my TM set top box. actually hypptv stb old version got google play store. I can easily access to play store to install es file explorer. So I can download apk from my PC then use pendrive to install all the apk in the hypptv stb.

many of them ask for how. because their hypptv stb was updated to new version. the new version dont have google play store, thats why many user ask for how. actually it is quite easy, just search in google. there have a malays tutorial to teach you how to restore back to the old version. only the old version got google play store, so you can access to play store to download es file explorer in order to install some third party apk such like MYIPTV 4K.

that one is TM kopitiam chatting room only, I was go in to chat with them to complain about my unifi turbo 500mbps only can reach 300mbps maximum speed. They just answer me keep monitor, just monitor. Nothing can do other than that, they never take action to help fix my speed back to 500mbps. So I just directly open report to MCMC.

So you can ensure that your 300mbps upload speed is 50mbps.

No need, you just need to login to your old router to check.

I notice that you are coming from KK, can you change to server "Telekom Malaysia" or server "Time dotcom" then redo speedtest again?

My unifi was turboed but the problem is my line can't get full speed. My package now is Unifi turbo 500mbps but please look at my signature. Speedtest result only has 60% of my subscribed speed. So I was lodged report to MCMC and waiting TM to solve my issue.

I never receive email from TM but my unifi get turboed suddenly at 17th September, then I only receive a SMS notification by TM after one week of turboed. So you can wait and come back to check after 15th Oct 2018. I guess that TM is upgrading phase by phase base on pilot basis in the mid of every month. Let's say they start to upgrade from 15th Oct until 19th Oct.

when you get turboed, TM will arrange technician to come to your house to replace your current copper to fiber. So you will get 300mbps turboed. That's what my presumption.

TM may do like what TIME dotcom did.
