Congrats on V4! Just received my upgrade email yesterday.
Now need to spend more money to get the coverage in my unit right.

QUOTE(Zoho @ Oct 8 2018, 09:56 AM) I am just thinking...can we split the bandwidth to different Wifi SSID? Ex: 200Mbps for Wifi SSID 1 , 300 Mbps for Wifi SSiD 2...then can rent out WiFi, since not using so much speed anyway...hehe. Yes, can.Any routers can do that? You can get one of those business APs, like Ubiquity or Aruba. Then you can have multiple allocations with multiple SSIDs and manage them up to your heart's content. It's cheaper than some of the more expensive routers....but too much work for me lah. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Oct 8 2018, 10:33 AM) Find ways to improve the signal strength. Yeah, definitely. I don't even live in a bungalow or landed property, but the thick walls plus extreme interference from other wifi networks nearby make a mesh solution a necessityYou can explore mesh solution like the Deco M5 or AiMesh. I am pretty sure you can get 500Mbps with dual RT-AC88U mesh setup. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Oct 8 2018, 01:02 PM) AiMesh Hahah so true. My neighbor also on TIME did exactly that. But I have no time to do all these wall hacking, etc, so I'll settle with a Lyra mesh solution. Consistent coverage (100Mbps, even) is important.Dual RT-AC5300 and LAN to your computer. At that price I will hire a contractor to conceal a wire and repatch my wall and probably still be cheaper. |

QUOTE(shackks @ Oct 9 2018, 09:05 AM) I wish to migrate my streamyx to Time's Metro E for one of the site I manage, anyone here using this service on their workpace can share their experiences? If your building premises can support it, it's a good idea. Bear in mind the costs can be extremely high for what you will perceive as "lower" speeds. However uptime and stability are unmatched. One particular firm in my building pays a huge amount every year for their Metro E package.Thanks. |

QUOTE(pskk @ Oct 10 2018, 08:36 AM) Mine goes through the bottom gap of my front door but the gap is approx 10mm. ya it can be done, but make sure the cable is protected. Putus kalu, mahal to fix.So far i have had no issue for more than 4 years. QUOTE(Jzon @ Oct 10 2018, 08:52 AM) Guys, question im using Asus RT-AC86U for the router and for my pc wifi adapter using Tplink Archer T9E. Sounds like you've maxed out your router's wifi speed. Test with direct cable connection.I am only able to get a wifi speed of 400MBPS-450MBPS. Router is just beside the computer. If i use my iphone I am able to get up to 600MBP currently subscribe to 1GBPS. Is it normal for my pc to only get up to 400-450MBPS, I havent tried using cable yet. |

QUOTE(idoblu @ Oct 10 2018, 02:05 PM) I'm actually torn between this and the Lyra Trio. The Trio is more expensive, but the basic pack comes with the three base stations vs M9 only two. My house is not even 2k sq ft so 3 may be overkill. Will review, as soon as I decide lol |

QUOTE(chineu6 @ Oct 12 2018, 10:31 AM) Thank you guys... appreciated all the advice. It takes time to load movies from kodi on TP Link router somehow and intermittent buffering. Let me try to sort this out myself then. Not a big deal. Thanks once again! If you have an android phone, run WifiAnalyser app on it to see how congested the channels in your area are. Good luck! |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Oct 15 2018, 10:36 AM) That'a a big misconception by users. Wow tempting. My 1800 sqft home with thick walls is a challenge for the Asus 1200G, was contemplating upgrading to a Lyra Trio, would the Blue Cave suffice, I wonder.Enterprise router from Cisco, Ruckus and Aruba got no external antennas normally. SNB rank the Blue Cave at #2 for signal coverage. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Oct 15 2018, 10:49 AM) Both are very different concepts, I think the Trio will have slight an edge but I have no idea how good the radio is. understood. At this point I am willing to forgo "total throughput" for a consistent connection in all bedrooms. Right now with a TPlink AC repeater I'm getting at most 20-30 in Bedroom 1, and 40-50 in other bedrooms. So if I can get 100Mbps stable across the house, I'm willing to not "utilise the 1gbps" all the time. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Oct 15 2018, 11:07 AM) Possible with a good mesh solution. Aha, can't wait to see your review. In other news, it does seem Pineapple is selling the Deco M9 for less than RM1k online. Not sure if wrongly labelled or what.In progress of testing the Lyra as some say the product is so much better after a total firmware revamp. Also, Netgear Orbi units (pricier a bit) can be found at AllIT with stickers saying "compatible with TM, Maxis, TIME" on them. Any experience with these? |

QUOTE(jjj2 @ Oct 26 2018, 09:11 AM) Real On-Site Testing AAAAA OMG so tempting.Tested 2 nodes Deco M9 Plus combo with Dlink DIR882 on 1Gbps line yesterday... Incoming 7xxMbps, take into consideration of old concealed Cat5e cables in the house, On Wireless, Deco able to achieve 5xxMbps (tested on TP-Link Deco apps), normal speedtest TIME Server constantly giving 4xxMbps. Beamforming -- slightly bit slower. Node-to-Node connectivity -- superb Setup -- Easy For Home mesh, this is definitely a recommended choice. Thanks. So you put the Dlink in bridge mode? BTW what was the house size? |
