ok noted and thanks. ya TIME's tech super busy and wont layan us one. But i will try asking for help. just to unlock some features. Especially DNS and 2nd DNS for HG8145V5. Maybe i will install back old ONU HG8240h so that i can configure that.

It has google dns 8.8.8.8 as secondary. But because i'm using another router and setup mesh. I can set DNS from there. i have 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8. cover both

Guys, I'm gonna renew my contract with time, should i continue use the tp link c1200 as router or using the new huawei HG8145V5 as router? which one is better? thinking of changing 1 of it to AP mode and put in 2nd floor.

I recall they having promotion on HG8145V5 free a mesh node which might be better than AP for renewal. look it up. in Lowyat got article about it.

I enquired time Cs, was informed that if renewal directly then will free a mesh mode without the hg8145v5 router. So Im planning to terminate and sign up new contract to get the new router besides there will be rm100 rebate for new contract.

i just install mine. there's a rebate of RM10*24mth. for 500Mbps. get from reseller not direct with Time website. i did ask the tech guy when installing mine. he say maybe now there is a cooling period of 3 Month after terminated the current one(Time). but he said also not too sure if this is still ongoing.

There's no cooling period. Was told can request same day installation with termination date

Omit TPlink Archer C1200 & go for HG8145V5 2-in-1 ONT.

Thanks.

Hi Sifus over here, would like you guys to recommend me a router. Been contacting TIME internet to help me with this, told them my place bedroom areas don't have good lines, wireless speed is bad. They told me it's normal to get 250mbps-350mbps on 5Ghz network, suggested me to change channel for 2.4Ghz (which not helping much, just near to 100mbps), end up they just ask me to get new router & extender. Lol

My laptop has Wi-Fi 6 AX201, hope new router can utilize this & cover most of the house too, if not I got a TP-Link RE200 standby

Below attached is the 2 in 1 router place. It's at the kitchen inside a SoHo box.


Here attached is my unit floor plan. Red circle is where Optical Network Terminal at, green one is suppose where new router at (previously UniFi router is at here).


Thank you very much !!

Hi.. I plan to get 500Mbps that come with HG8145V5.. planning to get the OmniMesh Essential too.. any reason why did you change to Deco M5?

Thanks

If you draw a straight line from device to AP(router), more than one wall is pretty much gone case for 5Ghz. So try to plan placement of router or additional APs with that in mind.

Also if you're going fully wireless, you must use something with 2 x 5ghz radios such as Deco M9 Plus. One radio will be used for the uplink and one as the AP (access point.)

Do you work in your bedroom most of the time or spent most of your WFH hours at your living hall?
If you can afford it, wire up all your room with CAT6/E ethernet wall outlets for future proofing.

You can further expand your network in future by using additional switches in each individual room or buy a wall mounted mini APs/mesh units via wired connections turning it on only when needed.

For me I don't like to have a powerful WiFi AP right beside my head where I sleep for health reasons. I intentionally TURN off my 2.4G WiFi and only enable 5G for strategic reasons just "ENOUGH" to cover my workstation area which is part of my living hall.

You might want to know why I intentionally restrict my WiFi coverage area just enough to cover where I work. Firstly I minimize the chances of my neighbors interfering using jammers, listening and stealing my WiFi. If you just walk away from the living hall at my house, immediately you would lose the 5G WiFi signals right away. Also I would know that if there's an intrusion in my network, I can ALMOST be certain it's my neighbor which is stealing it because it's so weak the signal it makes it not even worth STEALING.

Second, it's for health reasons. I don't want a powerful high frequency transmitter beside my head while I sleep. My bedrooms and TV rack in my living hall all have wired outlets to serve my needs.

Connection down for last one hour :S
Location - Seri Kembangan...

Anyone else facing connection down?

OK. Thanks. May I know the reason for it? So I gonna convert the c1200 to AP

Ur 2 in1 router support mesh WiFi. Y not just get a mesh node from time to cover that area?

Hi,

Just bought Archer AX50, connected it to the modem, but the WAN light is orange.. not green. My old wifi router is working okay though. DO i need to call TIME Cust Svcs to change the setting to the Huawei modem?

Do you have the right PPPoE username and password?

Yes, i do. i am familiar with wireless router setup (been doing setups with no issue all these while). Reconnecting using my old router has no issue at all.. just this newly-bought AX50 shows orange light for WAN.. like there's no internety signal from the huawei modem at all. Called TIME Cust Svcs, they have confirmed that the modem's function is sety to "only modem". They have even re-set the connection, but the same issue still persist.

Hi, you may place an AP at the green marked spot if there is a network port there (there should be with this kind of design).

Thanks.
