QUOTE(blacktubi @ Jul 28 2019, 11:33 PM) B618 do not have VLAN tagging ability so it cannot dial into TM network. The WiFi performance of B618 is weaker than TM current DIR-842 so using it as AP is pointless too. Sell the B618 for around RM500, get a cheap TP-Link Archer A9 which is really good and you probably still got around RM200 to spare.  You can sell the DIR-842 for RM50 too.  Sorry out of knowledge question, and thank for clearing our path What about the "WAN" port, can I just plug in ethernet from unifi/time/maxis fiber RJ45(on the wall) and get internet access and distribute it via the WiFi(no plan using phone/lan port) can right? as the datasheet of B618 stated https://pictr.com/images/2019/07/29/5a8yKv.md.png https://pictr.com/images/2019/07/29/5a8kxV.md.png What is the change between B618 & DIR-842 or other premium router+modem? assuming fiber can get me 200-300Mbps |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Jul 29 2019, 09:03 AM) For a 3 storey house, maybe you can consider a mesh WiFi system for the best WiFi coverage. Ohh so only unifi will be affected only lah.The thing with Unifi is it requires VLAN tagging which the B618 do not support. The major difference between a good router and a cheap one is the Wireless range and performance. A good router will get you better speed with good stability when you are further from the wireless router. Afaik if Unifi got coverage = Maxis got I'm going for maxis/time anyway So it will not be a problem with the VLan I guess? but Yeah I notice everyone is recommending the Asus router brand even at "other country" forum, I guess they are top quality |
