Any goodies for 1Gbps / 2Gbps users soon?

my contract from April 2023...no speed boost on the self care page... how to check the speedboost activation ?

Does anyone know if its possible to combine my own existing mesh (wired backhaul) with the FTTR?

Most of the rooms in my house is already connected with a LAN cable, except for 2 rooms. So I’m hoping to install FTTR for those 2 rooms.

My current set up is like this:

Modem > ASUS router (AP mode) > LAN Switch > Mesh node (wired, bridge mode) in each room

To add the the FTTR, can I just connect the main node to the LAN switch, then set the child nodes with the same SSID as my existing mesh?

Reason why I don’t use additional wireless mesh in those 2 rooms is because the walls are too thick, it can’t keep a stable connection with the other nodes.

Not full mesh meaning my wireless device may not do the handoff nicely between the the FTTR node and my existing mesh?
Yes.

I see, so the Master FTTR is a modem as well. My ASUS router is just there because I’m used to its settings. If I don’t need it, would the below work?
The Master unit is an ONT unit,

1. Master FTTR > child node FTTR
This is the default setting, the child node will auto pair with the Master.
2. Master FTTR > LAN Switch > existing mesh node (wired, bridge mode)
You cant mesh up different models.

@jjj2 adding on on GBP56's query, is it possible to use own router for Time's FTTR offering?
so the FTTR Master node only acts as AP
If I get you correctly, nope, you cant use your own router to replace the given FTTR devices, unless it is designed/modified in such way.

Also, is the fiber connector using SC? possible to hire the installer just to lay out the micro optical fiber around the house?
Yes SC/APC. I'm not sure whether the installer has the extra cable to lay for you as they are given the cable according to work order. By the way where are you located ?

Thanks for the clarification. I’m not trying to mesh up different models, I just want to have different access points throughout the house. I guess what I’m trying to ask is if the main node works like a normal router, where I can connect a network switch with an ethernet cable?

I’m fine with FTTR on the rooms without the LAN cables, but I still want to make sure I can use the existing LAN ports in the other rooms.

What about the FTTR main router, can it also be set to bridge mode?

Hi All,

Random question, is Time internet still the better internet compared to Unifi and also the Umobile fibre (in case anyone has tried it).

My friend installed time fibre with the Wifi 6 setup and did not use the modems & Router.
Your friend did a brilliant thing.
I am planning to subscribe the same package and get the same Wifi 6, does it make sense for me to take his hardware and make it into a repeater for the whole house?

Would you suggest to upgrade my router from the Huawei OptiXstar HG8145X6 to TP-Link Archer AX53 V2 (the price isn't bad in eCommerce platforms)? Is it compatible with the existing Huawei WA8021V5 mesh?
Not compatible in terms of meshing, in fact you can ditch off the rubbish WA8021V5.
Can I also get rid of the Huawei Echolife router too? Thanks.
If you are referring to the ONT unit that comes with fiber plugging in to it, you cant totally ditch off this, but what you can is turn it to bridge mode so that your self bought mesh system can take over.

1. Sad.... although I found the current WA8021V5 kinda okay covering the coverage of the master bedroom of my 950sqft unit, from the router located in the living room. Hopefully, the TP-Link Archer AX53 can achieve that room (previously the HG8145X6 signal was unable to reach the master bedroom) so Time gave me a few units of WA8021V5.

2. Alright so the ONT cannot be removed, but I can replace that OptiXstar with TP-Link Archer AX53 right?
Yes the OptiXstar HG8145X6 can be replaced.
So generally this would be good, ONU --> TP-Link AX53 --> Another TP-Link Router that supports EasyMesh.

I'm planning to terminate my fibre account for a cheaper bundle of CelcomDigi 5G Home with postpaid plan.

No more contract.
I don't see the option for termination.

Hi all, wanna get some opinion from you guys. Currently Im staying in 1200sqft condo with using Maxis home fibre. Im intend switch to Time Fibre with 200mbps plan after few months. is it recommend to replace other brands wifi router or stick with the device provide by TIME?

Finally my internet is back after the disruption. Like others, I wanna setup 3rd party DNS on my own router (Mercusys MR80X) to prevent future disruption such as this one again.

Question:
Do I need to setup ipv6 as well or IPv4 is sufficient?

not sure if u guys notice this, now all the new subscribers need to pay total sum of the remaining months of the contract subscriptions or rm500 (whichever is higher)...
like that it is the same as unifi etc.. already... no more rm500 fixed amount termination fee man...

seems to have a lot of changes (not announced) after the free speed boost.

previously from website UI can do downgrade of plan directly. now need to contact CS via live chat only can... wtf...

yes... both killing new tnc for new subscribers/recontract... 

last time i like about time is that if anything i just pay rm500 penalty max... now it is the same like unifi, as good as no termination if need to pay remaining months in full...

Ya agree

i am on old contract, i believe i should still be able to downgrade to rm99 200Mbps plan just that i am stuck with 2 years new contract though... 
Yes

Actually the Wikipedia article of AAE-1 under incidents states AAE-1 was damaged in Feb 2024.
Links to news sources at bottom of the page:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAE-1

In any case this would be a partial explanation.
We could also consider the Israel/Iran situation or the flooding in Dubai.

However:
The connection quality to Europe was already bad before these incidents.
Yes we are aware of such issues, but could not generally come to a conclusion yet.

Possible do it ownself?
