Hi guys, I got turboed today to 500mb plan
Went to Unifi care page and it say my router is outdated and I need to change 1 to feel the difference. It has 3 option. Get 1 for free but +2 yrs contract (BIG NO NO) Buy 1 from them for RM188 (free installation and warranty) or buy myself Is their router worth RM188? The installation and setting up offer is tempting (I am a network noob) |

QUOTE(YoungMan @ Jan 9 2019, 08:14 AM) Ya saw that one too. Not much players are coming in and only TM and Maxis at the moment. Hopefully there will be other ISP joining in to utilise the SEB fibre and SOFIA. Well, the network setup in my house is pretty 'messy'. BTU n original TM router are at downstairs store room. Buy yourself. It is time to invest in a good router for you to enjoy good performance for the 500mb. Router at RM188 is only from TM, and do not expect much in terms of quality if you're gonna buy RM188 router. If that is the amount you are willing to spend on a router, just go ahead and get it from TM.  UPstairs room cant get stable wifi, so i added a Xiaomi Router 3 at master bedroom to relay the signal (connected via lan) Was thinking if I get the TM ppl to come over,i can ask them to help me setup the whole damn network setup. QUOTE(aj300 @ Jan 9 2019, 05:23 PM) Anyone who is paying RM149/159 for 500mbps willing to share their bill for my complain to MCMC. I'm currently paying about RM199 with SST for 500mbps. Thank you I pay 20x for 500mbps... Damn |

Experts, I need some 'hardware' help.
I gotten myself a Tenda AC18 from a forumer here (thanks bro) Now the Tenda and BTU is downstairs (store room where all the cables are) The wifi strength are not enough to cover rooms upstair. I have a https://www.mi.com/my/mi-router-3/specs/ Mi Router 3 upstairs which I use as repeater. I don't feel any difference in the speed although being TURBO-ed .. Q: Is my Mi Router 3 that is slowing down the speed? IF it is, any recommendation of a cheap / not too expensive repeater that I can buy? |

QUOTE(imalmighty @ Jan 17 2019, 03:46 PM) No, it's your setup that is slowing dowmn the speed, no way u can harness full bandwidth via repeater mode. Youre gonna have to wire it using LAN cable to see the difference. Hmm.... if my setup is as below (which I have been using all this while la)Downstairs storeroom = BTU + Tenda 1. Tenda Wifi on (strong enough for downstairs) 2. Tenda LAN WIRE connects to a room upstairs 3. Room upstairs install another router/repeater (connected via LAN cable) to share out wifi signal Something is wrong with the LAN cabling of my house, the developer fuck up I guess, only 1 LAN socket works for my upstairs.. What will be a better way to make my whole house (upstairs for now, since Tenda is strong enough to cover the ground floor) gets WIFI signal? (p/s : Can't afford those high end gear) This post has been edited by ed0gawa: Jan 17 2019, 03:54 PM |

QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Jan 17 2019, 03:55 PM) The Tenda AC18 is a good router, but its wireless coverage is not that good compared to the pricier router. You can't use repeater and expect good speed. What you should have done is got the TP-Link AC2300 or the C3150 v2. Both are a bit pricey but its coverage is much better. What you can do now is to to either get one of the router I mentioned, ideally the C3150 v2, or connect to the Mi Router via wired LAN and make it a wired WAP, instead of a repeater. Sorry, wasn't clear on my previous post (kinda noob with network stuffs)Actually my MI Router 3 is connected via LAN Cable and work as WAP (wireless access point right?) The speed of WIFI from Mi Router 3 ain't 'too good' With 5G wifi from Tenda, I get 57Mbps (when I am downstairs) with Wifi from MI Router 3, I get only 14Mbps (upstairs) Did some reading and it says Mi Router 3 only good for speed below 100Mbps.. wondering is there is any RM100+- alternatives for mi router that can give me higher speed (don't waste the turbo upgrade mah..lol) btw, your suggested model are too pricy for me  This post has been edited by ed0gawa: Jan 17 2019, 04:08 PM |

QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Jan 17 2019, 06:09 PM) You need a better cable or router. Try with Cat 6. Seems like for Turbo Unifi, LAN cable need to be atleast Cat5e or Cat 6 right? Ah, too bad man. It should be higher though for your WAP. Something is wrong somehwere? You might have to send yours back. Probably the lan cable in the wall by developers are ciplak lower grade. I will try to buy some better LAN Cable (for those from wall outlet to router) and try... |
