Hard to say why but I think in time you'll figure it out.

For 5Ghz, set to 80Mhz channel width for max speed.

Looks like router limitation. See here. Max routing speed is around 700Mbps.

The USB3-Gigabit adaptor should be OK, maybe a little bit of effect on speed. I'm using the cheapest one I found on Shopee with my MacBook Pro.
Speeds I can get are:

Must be good Cat5. Looks like it's linking at 1Gbps. I have a Cat5 cable which also links at 1Gbps but the max speed I can get out of it is 350Mbps.

Conversely I have a lousy Cat5e cable which links at 1Gbps and then drops to 100Mbps a minute or 2 later. After that it'll go up and down periodically.

Bought at RM26. A bit cheaper now. https://shopee.com.my/product/28053243/377998272/
But it doesn't have USB ports like yours.

What chipset is the Ugreen? Mine is a Realtek. Product ID: 0x8153 so I think should be RTL8153.

They did have a printed booklet. I remember getting it when VIP5 was installed. I guess they don't print it anymore. There's also a PDF version online.

Yes for my Huawei BTU. The "TEL 1" light is always lit. It'll start flashing when I pick up the phone to make a call.

Awesome, for LTE. Not for wifi. WiFi still 2x2.

From all my correspondence with TM on the same matter, they made it very clear that it'll be at the end of the pilot phase.

Mine is 20m. Not bad for 350Mbps for Cat 5 at that length, I guess.

I hand measured it at 20m but I think the Mikrotik is more accurate.

Steve Jobs says you don't need so high speed for wifi. That's why. Also probably a power consumption problem, maybe no space for 2 more antennas.

RB750Gr3 doesn't support the cable test feature. It's a feature of the switch chip which is a Mediatek in the RB750Gr3. The QCA switch chips support it. I tested using hAP AC and hAP AC Lite.

That's OK, I have a Samsung also but mine probably not 4x4.

I just want my 800Mbps. Over the phone, I told them you can charge me RM329 for UniFi Advance Pro 100 but I want my Turbo 800 immediately. Actually managed to raise a ticket, that wasn't closed immediately, for that. In the end, also cannot. Received the same copypasta answer.

This is what I get during an iperf3 test. MacBook receiving.

MacBook is a Core i7-4850HQ, MacOS 10.13.6. Gigabit USB if that makes a difference.
Server is a Core i5-4570T. Ubuntu 18.0.4 LTS. All patches up to L1TF.

Just trying some reverse psychology on them. Glad they didn't call my bluff on the RM329. I'm happy with RM189 for 800Mbps (when it arrives).

I think I'm being too civil with them. Others seem to have better luck when taking a different posture.

At least we know exactly when the mass rollout will start.

And we also know when the pilot phase will end.

Depends on the device you did the test with. For example, 60-90 can be considered good already for an iPhone 6s connecting 2.4ghz.

I don't charge anything lah. cos we sharing to increase speed. But with upcoming 800 and neighbour's 500, neither of us has got the upgrade yet, I will need to upgrade my main router.

What router did TM give you? If current model, should be ok for 800Mbps on LAN. Wifi, likely your device is the bottleneck.
Check this thread for what wifi speeds to expect depending upon your phone's, laptop's or router's wifi capabilities.

4850HQ, no, only 0x19. Latest from Intel is as you've said, 0x1A.


Will be updating to MacOS Mojave later this month. Will check then if 0x1A is there.

4570T, yes, 0x25, latest as per Intel.
