Hi guys,

not sure here the right place to ask

okay, previously when i was still in college i applied for UNIFI and been using till i move out back to my home. I've terminate my UNIFI and able to keep the modem, router and all

at my house, we already have a unifi and it using fibre optic cable...so i was wondering is it possible to convert the optic cable to gigabit ethernet cable since the i still have the my previous DLink DIR850L router

thank you.

optical-ethernet media converter to bridge the optical fibre cable and your Cat5e cable.

yea i've been searching and found one of this method
but I dont know where to look for it

is there store in KL selling it (eg: All it/thundermatch and etc) or it can only be purchase online?

because previously i was asking about router that can cater for the new UNIFI speed (still havent got the upgrade from UNIFI but in contact with them)

so some of them recommended some model but upon inspection, they all used CAT5 ethernet cable while my current router only support optic cable

sorry my enquiry using wrong model unit/terminology

maybe i can use a picture reference


My current house unit



MY Previous Unit
previously i stayed at high rising area during my college whereby the technician just used the build-in Ethernet port

while for my family home (which is landed) they pull the fibre optic cable.

that's why, i didnt know landed and housing are using different type of unit

i thought it possible to convert/bridge the optic cable to CAT5e cable

Truth to be told,

When i first talk to UNIFI regarding the new speed
they told either you can contract 2yrs or buy your own unit

of course that time, my UNIFI still was not part of the first pilot speed upgrade

so then, i talk again with UNIFI about the upgrade still no news, now i've tried to pressure them about the upgrade

since my current unit can't cater for the new speed, i thought wanna buy a new unit
thats where I wanna try to re-use my previous UNIFI (it was 30mbps plan) unit from my college time.

sorry i'm not be familiar with terms

the first method mention previously, bridge between Optic cable with Cat5e cable? is it workable? or i need to ask UNIFI technician to actually check about it?

could explain to bit details

wait i think i got few things mix-up

the black box whereby my optic cable is attach does not need to change right?

only the silver box router (as picture below) in order to cater for the new speed, correct?




swapped with

current package is 30Mbps (paid upgrade from 10mbps)
speed tested avg (Iphone and macbook are connected to 5.0ghz while PC connect to 2.4Ghz): 24-29mbps

I've already sent an email to UNIFI why my package havent upgraded to 300Mbps

hope its help.

Ah... i see

sorry for my first post wrongly ask question
I'm not familiar with the unit/terminology

Free if I take up the 2yrs contract
I probably choose to buy owned router. I will continue my survey for router.
quite sad that my house had to pay higher for 30mbps (because it was paid upgrade), i ask to contract for the 30mbps package but they can't do it since my housing area already full. So paid upgrade is the only choice
10mbps RM149 top up RM50 for 30mbps

now paying RM210 (incl tax)

yup. Currently wait for their feedback after my email regarding the upgrade status.

Thanks for clearing that up.

side note: about the picture (google image picture,my bad)
for my current house unit is the RGX4400 router and the Huawei GPON Terminal
for my previous unit is the ZTE VDSL2 and DIR850L router

hahaha

actually I'm in dilemma

because I'm also a maxis user

if i downgrade to RM129 (100mbps Unifi) I only save cost

but if with maxis, i can get unlimited data for my phone also

if by end of march, UNIFI still no upgrade my package, i might port-out and go for Maxis
as for now, still reading Maxis fibre thread
