What's about Unifi Special Discount? Is that also perpetual or will end after a some time?

Today, just completed my Unifi Fibre 100mbps installation . I got Nokia BTU and Aztech router as shown in picture.

Well, it's my first day on Unifi Fibre internet. I don't know what's good or not ATM.
So, I read that it'll be hard to change the BTU unit since it required TM technician to configure it, and hence is this Nokia BTU good?
If I decided to change the router, which one do you recommend? And are Asus RT-AC1200G+ and Asus RT-AC58U good?

Ok, thanks for your info... and might be going for Asus RT-AX56U later. https://www.lazada.com.my/products/asus-rt-...1.html?search=1
Still, would like to ask getting any good router won't boost the internet speed since my subscription is 100mbps, and therefore what's the difference for low end or better router? Hope you could explain a bit, thank you

I see, thank you for your explanation. I should save up a bit and get a better router later, I think my wireless adapter also need to change to 5Ghz supported too.

Is it because of the crap Aztech router privided by TM that I sometimes feel like DC or wifi dropped? But all lights are on/green when checking the BTU and router. It happens on 5G wifi connection only whereas speed will be less than 25mbps when on 2.4G wifi connection. My current wifi adapter is Dlink DWA-171, think it may need to change as well.
Can someone enlighten please?

According to the 1st page, it's written as below.

Just a disclaimer, the TP-Link C1200 v1 (Pic) have MANY issues, including firmware and hardware problems, so if there are any issues with the connection and if you have this router, try changing to another router and see if your problem can be resolved. If it is resolved, then it is this particular router's issue.

Just wondering if it's still the same as of now.

At the time of installation, I got around 90mbps with WiFi connection, and then the speed would be up and down at 30~90mbps, average at 55mbps, and also got WiFi dropping at times. I was using the Aztec router provided by TM.

Now, I have changed the router to TP Link AX50. The speed is at around 50~105mbps, average at 80mbps.
Until now, I've never tried connection using LAN cable cause I'm quite satisfied with the speed I get.

Sorry, I forgot to say that WiFi dropping problem was using the Aztec router (white colour with unifi wording) provided by TM.


So far, I have no issues with the TP Link AX50 router. I'm connected on 5ghz WiFi.

For my application through agent, it took 5 days for application pass through, checking whether my home in coverage or not.
3 days later, TM technicians came to check the "port", and they said my home need to "tanam tiang", and they also said that might take 1 weeks.
5 days later, received a call from TM to ask for my home location in order to "tanam tiang" in the correct places.
Then another 4 days, TM technician returned to complete installation of my Unifi Fiber 100mbps internet.
Conclusion, application till complete installation took 3 weeks time, very efficient to me.

May I ask how did you get that reading from BTU? or how to log in to BTU web UI?
When I key in 192.168.1.1, it'll go to router WEB UI when using router provided by TM, or 'The connection has timed out' when using TP Link AX50 router.

Celcom fibre internet is a bit cheaper, plus Celcom also provides TP Link AX10 router although for "new registration only". Well, if we are to switch, we are considered as new registration, right?
Check Celcom Home Fibre.

No, I'm using unifi now. My home just got coverage for unifi fiber in OCT 2020, and so just started my contract.
When I checked for Celcom/Maxis fiber coverage on their websites, it shows my home is not in coverage. Strange though, Maxis did call to me to offer their fiber internet.

Unifi technicians said my home location required for "tanam tiang" when they came to check the "port" thing. Read Here
Maybe, that's the reason other fiber ISPs does not have coverage for my home because I think TM may not install poles for others except Unifi itself. When I check now, only DiGi shows availibility at my area, yet it's not confirmed whether or not my home included :confused: .

It needed to install poles just to shorten the distance, straight to my home from the DP. Without install new poles, it would go a big round to my home which needs more than 350m fiber cable and I would be charged for the cable length. That was what the technicians told me.
The most important thing was that install 3 poles or below were free. Well, it needed to install 2 poles only, why not when it was free and it just took a little time only.
BTW, my fiber internet installation completed already. What’s the need to check with installer?

Did you read what people posted earlier?

Login to your Unifi account via Unifi website, try to click the 3-dots and select 'change my plan' on the drop-down list next to your current plan. Then, on the next windows select the plan you wish to change, e.g. "Unifi 100mbps - Ruby Pack @ RM129".

I have enquired via 'live chat', they said this plan has UnifiTV but doesn't come with the "box". So, you could view the Unifi play tv with smartphones and tablets.
* I think we might be able to view the unifi play tv on big TV if we bought an Android TV box that could support UnifiTV. Well, that's my assumption, and hope someone else could confirm it.

When I login to my Unifi account as mention on previous post - HERE. I could change to that plan although I've not changed it yet cause of the pandemic reason.

And, I have just started using Unifi Fiber on 22 Oct 2020. So, I believe once we get on Unifi Fiber, we'll be able to change to that stated plan. * Sorry, I was told changing of plan (selectable plans) could be done after 1 month.

I tried connect my desktop directly to BTU Lan1 using RJ-45 cable. It has no internet and also cannot login.
I tried keyed in 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1, both didn’t respond.
Did I miss anything?

Static IP? Don't know how to do it.
Never mind, it's not very important to know the readings as long as my connection working fine, right?
However, I wouldn't mind learning it if you care to explain and if it's not difficult.
Anyway, thanks.

It doesn't show on the printed bill, but it shows on your unifi account through the web.
If everyone wish to remove it, then they might need to make a plan and also confused users. Do you think they are so diligent?
