Hi,

Just updating. Got Turbo-ed earlier today.

Bonanza 30Mbps to Unifi 300Mbps [Turbo Upgrade 2018]
Location: Kampar, Perak.

Speedtest is good.

Equipment:
BTU: White Huawei Model
Router: TP-Link AC1200 V1
Switch [older router]: TP-Link WDR3600

PC that was tested is in my room. 16M Cat5e cable from AC1200 to my room into WDR3600. From WDR3600 into my PC another short cat5e.

Testing with my Redmi Note 5, i get:
on 2.4GHz: 36.9 Mbps DL and 20 Mbps UL
on 5Ghz: 41.5Mbps DL and 38.7Mbps UL

I tried downloading a youtube video. 1.12GiB took 1:26 mins. Roughly around 112Mbps.

Overall thumbup.gif

I thought of just waiting till end of December to get Turbo. Then, I decided to just try live chat and see. I made a live chat with the CS today and my order got submitted and completed today. I'm not sure if there aren't too many people around here asking for turbo and because I asked, they Turbo-ed me first.

Thanks.

Yeah especially those porno-ish like Tik-Tok ads getting wilder...
Now looking for 2nd hand Raspberry Pi. Do USB from Tplink AC1200 suffice for powering up?

Are there 2nd Raspberry Pis? I've looked for a few before, but there's barely price difference between selling used and new.

Are you planning to power the Pi via the USB port on AC1200? It could work i suppose. AC1200 is USB 2.0, so, should be able to deliver a max of 500mA [according to standard spec]. Rpis power consumption table here.

EDIT: I did some searching. It may or may not work, ymmv. These links are old but there's some info there. Link 1. Link 2. Link 3.

Yupp it did. When I had 10Mbps I got about 1.1-1.2MB/s download speed stable.
I'm using Archer C1200, upgraded from a shitty old router last October.
Instead of IDM, just wondering if you know anything about something like local cache to download from, which will allow us to download at max and highest speed.
I was told by a friend from overseas about it. Even when I download games from Steam (through Singaporean servers) I still get about only 7MB/s.

I'm not sure if there's a local steam cache setup for a community or the like. But a while back, I found this.

If for caching for multiple people in the same house, the earlier link would work but this could be faster. Btw, I've didn't try these as I rarely play on steam.

Well for my upcoming Pi-Hole mini project, these components I will use:

1. Raspberry Pi Zero (w/o Wifi)
2. ENC28J60 10Mbps Network Adapter Module

According to this site, Raspberry Pi Zero (w/o Wifi) has the lowest power consumption among all Pi's. So hopefully it shouldn't be any problem when supplying from USB port from the back of the router.

Bonus, a Reddit user post his setup with display which power supplied from TP-LINK router.

Wish me luck! rclxms.gif

If it's pi zero, should work smile.gif The reddit post is nice, maybe I'll give a try as well.

Do let us know how your project goes.

Good luck! thumbup.gif
