Hi sifus. I just got Time installed today, wangsa maju. Took the 500Mbps plan. How come my wifi speed measured by fast.com is only 50-60Mpbs? I'm using the free modem connected 2.4Ghz. My parents home 100Mbps unifi I'm getting 80-90Mbps using deco m9. Is it something wrong with my installation? Anything that I can do? Change modem? Reset by calling Time? Thanks

use a LAN cable cucuk at your router. Use your PC to do speed test.

Speed test from PC close to 500mbps?

Yes : Its not TIME side issue. Your wifi issue to solve.
No : Then call TIME to settle (but usually when they installing, they already test and show you the speed)

Wifi issue can be many factors. (previously discussed in this thread i believe)

Which model would you suggest works best with TIME 500? Thanks.
Btw, when using the original free modem, at 5ghz band, getting 200Mbps. Was expecting 400+

Hello. Use OOKLA for speed test accuracy.
You are using the TIME EC-230-G1? TIME Stock Router can achieve up to 300Mbps via WiFi.
Do you have AX Devices with you. I would like to recommend you to get TP-Link AX20. Only get if you got WiFi AX aka WiFi 6 devices. Can buy for future proofing.
Wait for 11.11 to get the router.

Thanks

Thanks ! Will check it out. I thought of getting 1 deco m9 since my parents house already uses 2 deco m9. Will need to compare m9 vs ax20.

How big is your house in sqft?
Deco Mesh need at least two units to work.

Thanks.

Oh, didn't realise that, because there are single unit sold by ookla. Mmm..I reckon one will work, just no mesh.
My condo is about 1400sqft

Hi, I'm on the 500Mbps package, no longer have contract. Got a call from CS offering free new wifi router, rm10 discount/mth but contract renew for 24 months. Is it worth it?
