QUOTE(tcwan @ Jun 28 2021, 11:18 AM) I have the separate modem / router and I'm using my own router. I guess the advantage of separate modem is that the one I have has the VoIP jack so you can still keep the VoIP service. I don't know anything about the 2 in 1. wow! thanks for the reply! noted and will do as advice

QUOTE(das99990428 @ Jun 26 2021, 01:17 PM) I am using the TP-Link EC230. For my second router in my bedroom, it is D-Link DVG-N5412SP N300 as a network bridge. Thank you for your input, really appreciate it. Any suggestion on a mesh model that pair up with TP-LINK EC230 (stock TIME router)? Hi, I'm sorry you cant use TIME EC230 to achieve the bandwidth shaping, suggest you to go for some more advanced routers, eg. Asus. For pairing, you may use another unit of TP-link EC230 to mesh it up. Better alternative, get yourself some WiFi6 Mesh Nodes. Thanks.

QUOTE(shinrei @ Jun 28 2021, 11:10 AM) Guys, Just sub to time and wondering is it easier to bridge the 2 in 1 (modem+router) or ask straight separate modem+router before installation? I'm subbing the 500Mbps. My new router is GX90. Having the 2 in 1 modem+router feel can provide more flexibility. Any thoughts? Hi, the type of ONU/ONT provided will be pre-determined by TIME in their system. If you wish to have your own router, do remember to request SI to set it to Bridge Mode for you during Installation. I'd say both type of design (either 2-in-1 or separate) have their advantages depending on your in-house network design. Thanks.

If they don’t remember then will set bridge mode during installation no pro. Thanks for your reply! 👍🏻

Hi fellow TIME subs, need some clarification here. Been using TIME for more than a year, but yesterday hand itchy go and test the speed. I had 500Mbps subscription, but test from speedtest game me 235Mbps, fast.com gave me 180Mbps and TIME own speed test game me 215Mbps. Is this normal? edit: test using ori LAN cable straight to me desktop, not wifi.   This post has been edited by Heater8811: Jun 29 2021, 12:44 PM

Anyway, when I tested both my browsers with http://speed-battle.com/speedtest_e.php, I got way higher numbers on Edge.

Just speed testing with FF yield a much lower result. But I can safely assume that the overall speed aren't affected. So for those get low result when doing speed test, could try different browser and see if there's any different.

Another thing to avoid is make sure heavy services that consume much resources & also Internet Security/certain Antivirus tools do not run at background while doing speed test. Thanks.

I am always getting this intermittent dc tho. Is it cause of the instability of TIME or just my router thats giving the problem? Not sure how to troubleshoot.
