Haha thanks, I can chill for now

My TIME start to not stable after the upgrade kick in (mine upgraded to 500Mbps).
Experienced few time wake up from sleep, WIFI still there but without internet connection, need to restart both modem and router.
Also few times suddenly disconnected.
Speed also not as expected.
Max via 5 GHz WIFI get 200+ Mbps on Android, iOS only 100+ Mbps. LAN cable test also wont reach 200 Mbps.
Youtube seems load slower than previous before upgrade.
Torrent also seems just around 100 Mbps (via LAN).

Anyone here have the same issue?
Anything i can do to increase the speed?

Downloaded TP-Link Tether .
It calls for user name and password.
Is it admin and TIME
it does work.
So what user name and password do they refer to.

Does work or doesn’t work?

Hi, if you are using TIME stock router.

The Login details as below:
ID: admin
Password: TIMEXXXX ( XXXX is the last 4 four digit of your MAC Address )

If using normal TP-Link Routers. Your own router.
The ID and password is the same: admin/admin

Thanks

Hi, may I know which router that you are referring to?
Are you CAT 5E above?

Try to perform direct connection.

Thanks.

I restart both the router and modem (white and black color).
Not sure about my cable is CAT 5E and above or not. but that is cable that come together during installation.

I actually more concern on the frequent no internet issue

The router is the cylinder type or with the three antenna?

The cable should be CAT 5E if I'm not mistaken. You may check your cable. On the cable itself got mention which CAT type.

Didn't hear any problems with disconnection and frequent restart every time.

Thanks.

connection is very slow today all day here in Serdang area, anyone else facing slow down issue?

Connection is OK here tonight. But torrent kinda slow today

Hi Guys, need opinion from you all ..

I'm thinking to downgrade my 1Gbps speed to 500Mbps ... due to I never really use LAN to connect to my laptop or any other devices.. which mean I won't able to enjoy the buffet that I paid and i only eat a small plate ..

Now paying RM189 for 1Gbps, for 500Mbps i could save RM50 per month ..

** Recently purchase Asus RT AC86U ... but my max only get 480Mbps (Wifi) .. which really make me sad..

Do you guys think I should downgrade?

Hi, how many devices are connected?

If heavy streaming, gaming and downloading.
And more devices use heavy then stick to 1Gbps.

You can get 480Mbps near the router or in the room?

It is the best choice to downgrade to 500Mbps but you won't be able to enjoy RM 189 after if I'm not mistaken.
None of the wireless devices can achieve 1Gbps as for now. ( Except LAN Cable connection ).

Thanks.

Thanks for the info bro.

You can downgrade it but I'm afraid that it will affect the CCTV quality.
Which devices use at the same time? If 2 or 1 laptop. 500Mbps is fine.
If more than 5 laptops, must get 1Gbps.
Since you don't play laptop games, mobile games don't really need much speed than laptops.
BTW, I'm using 500Mbps plan.

Mostly all connected to 2.4GHz. Only 2 devices connected to 5GHz.
No problem for us with 3 laptops, 4 mobile phones, IPTV box.

We don't really download much things. the IPTV box sometimes use only.
Not whole day or more than 6 hours. Watch only during holidays or got some English Movies to watch.
We got 3 laptops. All also heavy surfing and low streaming.

Thanks.

Just sharing, I have 1 Macbook and rarely connected bcs only to download Box Offices, 4 5GHz devices, will connect to 2.4GHz if using extender, used to be 100Mbps ugraded to 500Mbps and now manually downgrade the speed to 100Mbps again, for me, more than enough bcs I only play PUBGMobile (which consumes real low bandwidth) and 1 Device for Netflix or Viu or iFlix and 2 other devices not at the same time only for stalking Instagram LOL

If you heavy downloader maybe suits you that 500Mbps, I rarely download, 100Mbps just way too much for me hahahaa.. if got 50Mbps plan with RM50 maybe I’ll take it

Ah ya, if I’m doing something wrong please notice me and my apologize

I bought a J5Creator USB3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet cost me RM140 and 2metres Cat6 cable cost me RM20

After downgraded to 100Mbps I no longer use it, last time just tried and works and decided to downgrade, so I’m gonna sell it if anyone needs it can PM me, COD also can I live in Georgetown area Penang Island, all in perfect condition, price RM110 thanks

yup and in some cases, even PPPoE can take a toll on CPU, it shouldn't but low end routers smh

yesterday night rush to Lowyat to but the TP link AC2300. lucky still got one stock left. I run a speed test inside the TP link router it self and got about 800++ speed, and when i connect LAN use laptop and i got about 500++. By the way i'm on the 1gbp. i suspect is my laptop firewall and antivirus cause the speed decrease like 300++ Do u guys think so?

I would like to mention, that TIME has been unable to provide me with 1Gbps service. They've upgraded me to 1Gbps, and are billing me for 1Gbps, but are still providing me with the old speed of 500Mbps.

I've had a ticket open with them for over 9 days. The issue was confirmed by an on-premises independent Time Installer, and there's still no solution.

While I'm happy with TIME, please make sure you test your speed to make sure you're actually getting what you're paying for.

Yes it is possible, in fact one of our SOP when performing Installation is to turn this off.

Thanks.
