Had a tplink router with custom Time firmware. Is it good to flash it with "normal" firmware with hope to gain better performance?

No more warranty. I should avoid the hassle to flash the firmware then. My reading room hardly get good connection even router already at middle of the house. Any good recommendation for a condo size of 1110sqft? Using Time 100Mbps.

Rm300-400 range.

Is this model?

I'm doing some research now. And come out with a question that I'm not able to answer well - should I go for AX (Wifi 6) instead with a top up of RM100+. My budget is around RM300-400 range.

Haha... looking for that too.

I just found out my company laptop is ax enable. Might getting ax...

Bought AX10 today. So far very satisfied with the speed. 5GHz performance is very stable compare to C1200.
Setup only take few minutes using Tp Link Tether App (Tips - turn off your data plan. else the app will not detect the new router).


Below are the results with following conditions

- Time 100Mbps subscription
- 5GHz wifi
- mother in law streaming Kodi iCdrama and wifi streaming Youtube while cooking

1) PC with Intel WiFi Link 5300. Located in a room that furthest in the house and placed on a floor (2 walls and 1 door). Since it is Wireless G adapter - max upload speed is 54Mbps.


2) A laptop with Intel AX200. Same location.

My PC speed is better and stable now compare to when using C1200 (flashed with EU firmware). With C1200 the download speed hardly reach 60Mbps for download and 20Mbps for upload. Cannot provides evidence to proof the comparison though as I "shelved" the C1200.

Initially planned to get AX50 but changed my mind as numerous ppls complaint about reboot issue (suspect Intel Chip generate too much heat) in official TP link community forum.

When I first subscribed Time 4 years ago, some guru ask me not to turn on IPv6 as it was not stable during that time. Is it good to turn it back now?

Oh... I should enable then. Shall I check to share session with ipv4?

Nice one. I did the same... running the fiber inside existing TM copper trunk pipe. If not mistaken default is 10m free fiber wire (4 years ago la. Not sure they change it or not). The technician that did the installation thanks me and gv me extra 5 meters of fiber wire FOC- bcz I helped him drilled the hole after he failed to do so and prep all the fishing line a day prior so that it can easily pull the line inside the pvc pipe.

One question to ask sifu here.... is it safe to run ethernet cable inside a electric wire pipe?

I'M having exact same issue!

I found out the $ show on the system not tally with actual bill. Do you guys face the same issue.

P/s: I'm not using the phone and the monthly bill should be rm104.94.

Example:
1) MARCH - paid rm105.66 and I check the bill again the actual payable amount was rm104.94
2) April - refunded the extra charge of rm0.72.
3) May - system ask me to pay rm105.57 again this month.

it seems like TIME is offering royalty program now. +RM10 for 300Mbps + Huawei router with 2 years contract. Worth?

Besides that, just curious will Time change the ONU?

**Need helps**

I applied for the 300Mbps plan yesterday. A check just now it seems like they have upgraded it. HOWEVER, the upload speed is not able to hit 300Mbps.
Sometimes I only get a download speed of 50Mbps. It never happens with my 100Mbps plan.
Any idea?

Router: Tplink AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Router

Same result even connecting to TiME server or using TIME website to test it.

Tested using LAN cable connecting to my laptop. The upload speed gradually reaching 300Mbps toward the end of the testing. Like it is struggling to reach that speed.

All devices with WiFi 6 are NOT ABLE to reach 300Mbps/ ONLY HALF OF IT.

I yet to call TIME as the internet is currently in use for zoom call. Maybe give them a call later.

I just get my free Huawei WA8021V5. It was loaded with TIME firmware. Does anyone manage to flash it with vanilla firmware?

Secondly, I notice there is one feature called WIFI Relay. What is that for? Noob here...

Try use Tracert command to check whether it route to dns server you set.

You can do it by yourself. After login into the router, change the Uplink to AP.
