You might want to test it using wifi 5ghz.

I see haha.. is it tested right next to the router?

Hi, i just got Time Internet 500mbps installed at my place. They provide a HG8145V5 router. The wired connection is up to stated speed, but wireless performance is only half of what stated. Anyone can advise on this ?

Below attached is speedtest done on installer laptop.

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.

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

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.

You don't need much money to run direct ethernet cables concealed in cable covers along the walls just like your electrical cables.

Since you mentioned that connectivity in bedrooms are just for convenience, you don't need wiring to cover all rooms then. Stick with your original plan of relocating the router opposite the dining table as you've marked. Run just a single ethernet wire under cable covers along the wall further down the walkway leading to the bedrooms to somewhere right in the middle of all 4 rooms.Make sure you have a electrical socket nearby for convenience. Place just an AP there either wall mounted or on a small rack. Turn it on/off only when you need to access internet from your room on demand. That should be good enough to cover all 4 rooms.

The AP/mesh unit works just like a wired switch except its connects to your devices wirelessly. All routing functions will still be handled by the main router which you plan to place at the hall.

For your tv box, you might also want to run a cable across the wall to provide a port for your tv rack.

You probably need 2X 10M of CAT6E cables for both the bedroom area AP and TV box. That should leave you with 2 more spare ports on your router for other purposes maybe a closeby workstation PC.

Under RM300 should be more than enough if you can get reliable contractor or friend or DIY.

You can consider using a PoE adapter then. It uses half of the set of wires inside your ethernet cable to supply electricity simultaneously with data through it to your wireless AP.

The router brand I'll leave it to the sellers here to give you a suggestion.

Hi, please perform a test with direct cable connection of your laptop to the 2-in-1 ONT first, make sure you are able to get the expected bandwidth.

Then use the network cable in your living room connect it to your laptop and perform another round of test, if that gives you the same expected result, then only you go for some investment for wifi6 routers.

Thanks.

Tried the correct PPPoE username and password? If it is both correct, did you disable the VLAN tagging? See below:

1) From the web GUI, go to Advanced Settings > LAN > IPTV tab.

2) On the Select ISP Profile field, select TIME, or if there are no TIME, just select None on both ‘Select ISP profile’ and ‘Choose IPTV STB port’, and click apply.

Try disabling NAT.

No difference after bridge mode. Are you sure you have the right PPPoE username and password though? It could be a simple issue of wrong PPPoE username / password.

silly question, is there a downside to modem+router vs router with ONT built-in?

What's your MODEM IP and AX3000 IP?

It's OK as long both are in different network segment.
NAT enabled at AX3000 router.
AX3000 Internet WAN connection type = PPPoE
No VLAN tagging. Can screenshot section for IPTV?
- Select IPS Profile = NONE
- Choose IPTV STB Port = NONE

hi, I'm looking into upgrading/improving my home network including changing my router/ISP. I'm currently subscribed to unifi 500mbps with unifi TV which I never have the time to watch so I'm considering changing ISP. Can any1 share their experience with Time ISP? is 1GBPs available in every part of klang valley?

If you connect notebook (disable wifi) to the 2-in-1 Modem LAN-3 and could get Internet access then the Modem is not configured as bridge mode yet.

Check the notebook IP address after connect to Modem. Open dos prompt type> ipconfig /all

See what's under section - Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Would it be possible for you to try and login and see whether there's a page somewhere to change it to bridge mode?
