Ok, looking forward to your recommendation. Thanks

Hey... How about checking out Blacktubi's Reviews.. Trusted opinion and who knows, you might want to spring for Wi-Fi 6 router instead.. Like the TP-Link Archer AX20... It's "affordable" and future-proof.

I'm living in rented apartment, and obtained permission to drill a hole before start of installation. However... TIME installer ended up drilling three holes. For first two holes, positions chosen by installer have metal in the wall so driller cannot get through. I haven't inform landlord about the extra holes, not sure what will happen to my deposit  bangwall.gif

I wonder is it common practice that wall drilling will be done on trial and error method? Is there a way to detect metal in wall?

My condolences... Hopefully, it'll be patched and concealed in such a manner as not to be an issue.

@jjj2
I see. Thanks for sharing the info smile.gif

Sounds like the drilling issue is an unavoidable risk if following service provider's practice.

Yeahjjj2 has pretty much answered your queries... Communication and some luck is key. Mine, the tiny hole in the doorway was done and sealed perfectly. The one between bedrooms? Not so much. But since it's behind a couch on one side and cabinetry on the other.. One can't tell it's there. So I'm happy.

My router has been replaced to TP-EC230 by TIME after my previous TP AC1200 (due to unknown reason randomly reboot).

This TP-EC230 router signal is by far the worst signal coverage in my home. Previous routers like AC1200 and DIR-850L provided by TIME was okay. At least 2.4GHz and 5GHz can be used in master bedroom, but the new TP-EC230 constantly dropping signals.

Try a fw reflash and or placing it higher up... I remember having an issue with a TP-Link router once (model forgotten).. Poor network coverage until I raised it higher and boom.. Made all the difference.

May I know how small are those holes drilled in your house? Mine is about thumb size, slightly larger than the hole for Astro antenna cable, I was quite surprise about this considering the fibre cable is so tiny.

I think it’s safe to say its around my thumb size too. The drill entry hole is smaller than the exit hole. I can’t remember the reason offered back then by the installer. While I may wish for a clean and hidden install like that of TM that came with the building. Can’t be helped..

just curious, saw many ppl want to transfer ownership. any reason behind this? hopefully not due to the line quality issue?

Some might be moving to a new place with no TIME option.

What can I do if there’s no port available at my area? It’s kinda frustrating as I needed internet to work from home and can’t be relying on my mobile hotspot as the reception is bad.

Unfortunately, there’s not much you alone can do besides wait and keep checking in with them for a free port. Hope your wait is a short one.. Good luck.

Hang in there... I had to wait for 2 years for TIME to run their cables to my building. Before that, more years waiting stuck with Unifi max 30Mbps... It’ll get better.. console.gif
