Hi all, just a quick question. Just received my Deco M9 today as part of the Unifi 800 upgrade plan.

Can it be used to replace my existing Unifi modem, i.e, not using it as a mesh?

Was checking out some sites online after googling 'Can Deco replace existing Unifi modem'...

Some sites have said I need a copy of my UNIFI login ID (which ends of “@unifi”) and password. I was wondering if I can just plug and play the existing cables from the old modem to the Deco instead?

Appreciate the advice.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tip bro.

Sorry for the noob query, the router is the 'black box' with the multiple ports right? Not the 'white box' that is connected directly to the phone line.

So basically I will just replace the current black router that TM previously provided many years ago when I first got my Unifi installed with the M9 Plus unit.

And the 2nd unit, basically I can use it as a mesh right?

PS: Will likely follow the steps from this site - https://www.blacktubi.com/tp-link-unifi-setup/

U also can hv the mesh router connected to yr existing router, and configured the mesh without TM ID/pwd.
This will be the easy way if u forgot the th TM ID/pwd.

100% similiar with one of my accounts.
If he didn't apply that Year End Promo” (Pay Nothing), his discount will end after 24 months. Alot people didn't apply that YEP thingy since they didn't want extra 2 year contracts.

I didn't apply too but fortunately my discount is perpetual since day 1.

Networking equipment by design should work 24 x 7. My old DIR-850L ver1 still running very well since 2014  (24 x 7)

You're right about the wireless signal or radio frequency radiation effects on human health. I always turn off the wireless access at 12am and turn the wireless access at 6am.

Not sure if you're high or what? I did answer his query regarding RF radiation. It helps to improve sleep better at night. I always turn off my mobile before i sleep and place the mobile away. So not sure what is wrong here.

I am not sure what is the fuss about this stuff. I mean, the dude point out the question and I just answered it. The thing that does matter is the distance between you and the router. Although it doesn't cause much radiation as much as the sun,  at least you can take a few steps to reduce the amount of radiation effects in your home unless you're living near compact residential areas such as condo, flats or taman which can't be avoided.

Capitalism doesn't justify legalizing lies and entitle their elite stakeholders to enjoy privileges above the law getting away with crimes such as scamming the public, cheating and the silencing of their critics. That is dictatorship.

It is supposed to be just profit oriented and not doing charity to simplify its definition.

Did you noticed that they're known to change their contract agreement clauses quietly without openly informing their customers?

2 years back their early termination policy was to only pay RM500 but when they changed it to remaining months compensation did they made it clear to the public?

Nope, they just pretended nothing took place until their customers found out and start banging their tables then they pull out the cards to blame their customers for not taking notice of the changes made which they quietly held from them.

Is this professional ethics? Nope i didn't say anything about TM lying, I'm saying the capitalism doesn't promote the idea of dishonesty and trickery to gain profit out of others, it's just profit oriented not doing charity.

Don't twist my words.

It was the right direction for Maxis to launch their plans aggressively instead of allowing to TM play dirty and keep tying their customers every 2 years and instill fear of imposing penalties of thousands of ringgit if you stop paying your bills.

Now that Maxis is following the same old dirty moves it seems clear that ALL telcos in this country are dirty players who doesn't respect their loyal customers. They all are just interested in making BIG FAT profits at the expense of their customers.

By now I hope the public already know this dirty "musical chair" moves practiced by Malaysian telcos which I brought a while ago.

Almost every major telco in Malaysia has a major stakes held by either Khazanah, EPF and PNB.
So no matter which one of them the public chooses, all the profits and dividends still goes back to the very same few pockets.

Noticed that the most latest news the ex TM CEO has now changed chairs to Boustead boss in the musical chair game? You will always see the same few faces/figures moving seats from one to next GLC/MNC among the same circles.

So if you dwell deep into this whole game what does these major shareholders want?

They want MOVEMENTS and contract renewals which guarantees a steady stream of revenues coming from the public.

They hate the word STAGNATION. Where prices doesn't move(keep increasing/changing) with happy customers who already have lines installed are too happy to make any switching/jumping to other operators.

So what they'll do every years at certain time with the "musical chair game"?

Every telco will take turn to come out a game changing/interesting plan which steer the sheepspublic to switch and renew their contracts just to get the market moving and improve the company's earnings for the round.

Remember DiGi's Infinite plans? Followed thereafter by TM's Turbo 10X upgrades? Then earlier this year Maxis's Home Fibre which stole quite a significant number of Unifi subscribers and then the Hotlink Unlimited Plans?

Then last month it was DiGi's Home Fibre joining the HSBB network with the RM99 50M Home plan, and just few days ago Celcom suddenly re-emerged with the RM129 300M offer?

Think again, this industry is just a MONOPOLY which many Malaysians don't understand what is being played behind.

How is it called "competition" when the same few faces/shareholders owns a major stake in every Big 3 telco in the country and does rotation of seats like a musical chair every few years?

What differences does it make if you set up few different companies under different brands in the same industry but you hold major stakes in all of them?

All of them take turns to makan by coming out a revolutionary/interesting plans to pull crowd over to another when all profits less or more still goes into the same circle of pockets?

Main wayang and stage show?

We test on cable.
