I see. To wire it is not a prob Becos I can put the Linksys node next to the existing time Huawei ONT. will see if the performance is good or not.

The current Huawei ONT despite now after shifting the location to corridor, it is still having latency prob every now and then. I guess the dual band limitation does play a part. becos my mesh setup in my previous house (landed) second floor with the mesh child node I dun get latency prob when playing mobile game even my speed is lower at 300Mbps max.

HI, what do you want to configure ? Once it is connected to the main node, it's already meshed.

Is that a Network Port next to your Slave FTTR node ? Does it link to the spot where you placed your main Router ?
If so, then you don't need this FTTR.

last month when im still on velop tri band + velop dual band it keep giving me problem, some of my devices connect thru velop lan port but show as no internet connection need to restart once a week and linksys app very very buggy and lag, thats the reason why i subscribe to their FTTR although is still dual band but so far no issue. i use huawei app to check wifi signal and walk around my whole house still getting 400mbps - 500mbps on every corner. currently my setup is 1 parent and 4 child node

why use lan cable when i link my slave node via fibre optic?

What speed are you subscribed to?

500mbps

Honestly, I feel no difference for normal usage. But the ping is definitely lower than when I was using Maxis(TM infra). I only switched because it's cheaper, symmetrical and give public IP.

Indeed. Personally I find that time is worse off than unifi.

If you have at least cat6 & above of LAN cables, and your main mesh node is able to wired to this, then there is no need to go for FTTR.

renewal contract can get same offer as new user? Thanks.

Frankly they no longer possess much competitive advantage.

Reposition my ONT to be even more centred and nearer to my study room and master bedroom.

The speed and coverage are ok but loaded lantecy to be frank it is still high, between 50 to 100ms (loaded) when testing using fast app.

Unifi is having much lower latency.

Then I tested connecting to the child node which is placed super close to the main node, the speed is bad, I can only get 300Mbps speed, latency is high at 150ms (loaded) plus minus.
Quite bad for a wifi 6 mesh comparing to my wifi 5 Linksys mesh for sure. Totally trash…

The position of the antenna matters a lot. You gotta account for the shape of the radio waves. When I do speedtest near my TP-Link Eap610, it wasn't so good, but after I mount it on the ceiling, it improved significantly.

I currently place it on the floor which is not ideal at all but no choice. Becos i am placing it outside my study room door which I could not put any table or so to block it.

bo bian liao, go for fttr service

Any information on Time new promo for their loyal and new customers? Thank you

Hey guys, I just bought a new ASUS router model RT-AX53U and I'm using the existing TP LINK AC1350 as a repeater in my office room. Normal usage is fine but when I started gaming I'm getting packet losses.

I recently found out that TIME is giving new promo for upgrade. Had to upgrade anyways because current package no more discount. TIME is giving Huawei HG8145X6 router + 1 mesh.

Now my question is
Can I still maintain ASUS RT-AX53U as main and use the HG8145X6 as mesh? Understandable different brands can "mesh" it together but would I get optimum and stable speed?

I have other thoughts to solve this problem but would like to avoid spending as I just bought the ASUS Router

Here's my other 2 solutions:
1. Resort to homeplugs - Uncle old liao, last time use homeplug was relatively okay

2. buy a new wifi card Archer TXE75E

P/S: my main router and 2nd room is probably less than 20 meters a part but still the repeater is not stable

Please help uncle on this! Thank you!

Don't think they can mesh due to different standards. Packet loss with wifi is probably expected. I have my hg8145x6 set to bridge mode and use my old rt ac66u as a router. Then I have TP-Link omada EAP610 for wifi. I use the other hg8145x6 node as a repeater(lowered transmission power, disabled 2.4g, hidden 5g can't disable for some reason) to connect a PC.

My suggestion is, buy a good quality Ethernet cable to connect the PC to the router. Or you can buy a fibre media converter and then buy transparent fibre cable to run around your house if you don't like Ethernet cable being seen
