What is the speed the Installer getting while connecting directly to the ONU?

router is without antenna type, model is DIR-850L.
will check on the cable tonight

same things happen again this morning, i try to restart the modem first, but still same have WIFI but without internet.


then i restart the router (DIR-850L), every work fine after that.
(Both light are green before restart)

So the problem is the router?

Tested with Speedtest desktop client for the best accuracy. Just realize that browser based speedtest is rather inaccurate.

Router used: GT-AC5300

I'm also facing the same issue like yours using DIR-850L even before the upgrade, like once a month.

What is your WiFi speed like if you don't mind me asking?

Reading thro the postings, I am tempted to get a better router, than the stock one provided by Time.
The question is , if I were to get a better one, I am worried about the setting up.
Easy? hard?
Plug and play? And how to set it up.
I like to get one that can penetrate a couple of walls in my apartment.
Any suggestions?

Most routers these days have very intuitive user interface that guides rookies and those less experienced. My recommendation for a big house with multiple wall penetrations is getting those newer WiFi Mesh systems, where you have one main router, and one (or two) satellite routers placed in the apartment where coverage is lacking. These WiFi Mesh systems usually come with easy-to-use apps that you use to set them up. A better, but more inconvenient solution would be a router and one (or more) access points to reach those weak coverage areas.

The main thing you need to know when setting up a new router is your PPPoE username and password, that's all. The rest is easy.

Yoooo

via desktop LAN cable TIME website , around 100 Mbps
via iOS speedtest app, also around 100 Mbps (5 Ghz WIFI)
via Android speedtest app, around 250 Mbps (5 Ghz WIFI)

My friend say DIR-850L cant really support high speed.
planning to change my router

Setup is pretty easy across.
Just log into the router, set it as router mode (normally by default)
Just key in the username and password only,
Some also got wizard that guide you step by step.

Want to penetrate a couple of wall, then need to sacrifice 5Ghz wifi, aka connect at 2.4Ghz but a much slower speed than 5Ghz.

Get those router with HP (generally it indicated amplify wifi strength) at the back of router model, or come with high gain antenna.

where to get my username and password for TIME?

If you know the login password for the router then u can login inside (usually from 192.168.0.1) and go to Internet Connection section to see you user name and password for the PPPoE

Yeah so far i research this is the best router.
Found cheapest here.

https://shopee.com.my/Asus-ROG-Rapture-GT-A...5996.1577024609

my ping is now constantly 12ms. Previously was 3ms.

nothing to worry about, right? should be negligible.

Issues like intermittent connection hang & speed drops are known for this Router, if too frequent, then you will need to get a new router.

Thanks.

Yes it's normal, no worries

Thanks for the info, very useful

Yeah seems getting new router is the best way for my case

Just text/pm/whatsapp/email me, will guide you steps to set it up.

Thanks.

Yes , a wise choice to get a new one.

After click downgrade on 17th Oct in self care, today finally successfully downgrade to 100Mbps, connection is much more responsive compare to 500Mbps ( sometimes wifi is on but zero data packet running up/down) .
