wifi also giving around that speed bro...

I am using asus rt ac5300 + tplink t9e. I dont think hardware is an issue? Maybe i should upgrade my pcie card to asus pce-ac88?

Both wifi and lan cable gets 600mbps only.

Impossibru.

Already tried.

Its the same.

Is like the ISP clone my mac address or something and put a limit to it.

First when i get the 1gbps is very fast. Speedtest 980mbps. Then i tried DL 80gb of 4k movie to test the speed. Not 5 minutes later it disconnect. Cannot login for maybe half an hour then managed to login. Speedtest all become 500-600mbps ish. Once it hit 600mbps it will auto disconnect.

Weird stuff. Router seems to be ok. Router cpu utilization also very low.

I finally downgraded from 1 Gbps to 500 Mbps. My reasons:

1. Most of the routers are not able to to achieve 1 Gbps. This includes the AC1200 and DIR882 provided by Time. Even the high end ones like AC5400X can only achieve 920+ Mbps.

2. The 1 Gbps speed is only for download and maximum upload is 500 Mbps.

3. My AC1200 can reach 500 Mbps download and upload on my current 500 Mbps plan. So I am getting what I am paying for.

4. Most new devices on WiFi can only achieve 200 to 400 Mbps max even if you are using the latest and greatest phone or laptop.

5. On 1 Gbps plan, my WiFi on my Note 9 can achieve 300 to 400 Mps max. Now, on my 500 Mbps plan, I am also getting the same speed and I am paying less.

I am aware that some people are able to achieve 1 Gbps download but I think this is just a minority and you need to upgrade your hardware (router).

Therefore my conclusion is that you don't get what you pay for in 1 Gbps.

500 Mbps is a better deal as you get what you pay for lesser price.

Hi. You bought DIR-882 from TIME?

My advice to you is not to update the firmware as this router uses TIME modified firmware.

Thanks.

Hi. The TIME stock router uses own modified firmware.

Didn't hear that this router can set to 160MHz.

Maximum is 80MHz?

Thanks.

Hi, you cant update the firmware with the one from the official site.

If there is any new firmware release, we will keep you notified.

Thanks.

got my DIR 882 from TIME. But it seems like the wireless connection keep disconnected every 15 to 20 min. Its annoying even though it auto reconnects back. Please advice is it anything to do with the firmware? Current firmware is 3.5.8TT. Please advice

May I know if using TIME Fibre Broadband, is it any kind of ROUTER in the market will work?

Is it require selected kind of Router only can works with TIME Fibre Broadband?
eg. Those Unifi must use certain selected model of Router.

Please guide me.

Thanks.

Got a call today from Time representative and he told me to log in to Time website and claim my free router with contract renewal ?

I don't care about the contract renewal but I'm interested to sell the free router that they plan to give me. haha

you can always flash it back to official firmware or custom firmware

I'm having service disruption @ Penang relau

Thinking of getting the 500Mbps or the 1 GBps plan. Is the difference that much?

Managed to upgrade to the Beta 4.0 firmware from DLink RU support site lol, performance and stability is way better IMO.
I'm only using it as an AP so no biggie to flash stuff.

eh you're right, switched to 3.5.2 and its way more stable and feels faster.
tried the US firmware? the firmware dates are newer too.
