Hi all sifu, I installed fiber This Tuesday, is it safe to power off the ONU now or I need to let it run for few more days? TQ

Network equipment work best when powered on (24 x 7). Let it be. It's just a few watts of electricity. Not even a dent in your electricity bill.

anyone know or can share the guideline to change LAN4 at BTU so can use that port for HyppTV?

You have to talk to TM. Ask them to reconfigure the BTU.

I did mine last year.

Asked TM technician already. however they said even TM expert at HQ not willingly to do (unless there is some circumstances - TM fault etc - like 1 case of forumer here).

Am using OpenWRT (x86) and TP-Link managed switch 5 port currently and I think if I can set LAN4 at BTU to access hypttv, i can ditch managed switch. The setup is working good with AdGuardHome installed.

Btw thanks for the input.

I face some VLAN600 issue with my Mikrotik router. Lodge a report, 2 technicians came. I ask them to activate one of my free BTU port to be connected to my HyppTV. Done.

It can be done. sweat.gif

should i go for unifi 500Mbps + FREE TP -link Mesh WiFi Deco M9 Plus
or downgrade abit get 300Mbps enough then add-on the Mesh Wifi either RM15 or RM35 per mth

Or there is better wifi router + mesh that can suggest
thank you

100mbps is more that enough for 2. My household.. 6 persons, heavy torrent, 4k Netflix, online learning for kids, still can't fully utilise my 100mbps. sweat.gif

2 options to use Mesh

1) Stock Router / own router -> Mesh (Access point mode)

or

2) Mesh (Router mode), no longer using stock router.

If you have powerful own router like Mikrotik then option 1 is better. Else option 2 will do.

Lets assume this...

Lets assume this...

My modem on 1st floor living area, one M4 placed here then another M4 placed on ground floor living area which is approx 15m apart divided by the stairway with no partition in-between.

Would M4 on ground floor gets good connection with main m4 upper floor? Reason thinking of M4 cos got old devices ie laptop/spare phones which is not WPA3 compliant etc

Kindly adv, thanks!

Hard to say. Depends on house materials. If solid concrete like my house (concrete wall as load bearing), then it won't be good. You need to test. Wifi signal can be blocked, refracted by house materials.

In my house, I use CAT 6 to connect my both Decos to my router. So connection to main Deco is not an issue.

Thanks for the recommendation. If I get Deco X20 or X60, do I still need the router? or below is the setup that doesn't need other routers anymore:

Fiber modem -> ethernet port -> X20/X60 on ground floor + X20/X60 on second floor

I have a wall ethernet that connects first floor to second floor, can the Deco take advantage of the wall ethernet connection?
*
Yup... full gigabit connection between the Decos.

I use a pair of X20. thumbsup.gif Replacing my 1 year ++ Deco M4. Both my deco connected using ethernet too. Solid.

I see only 2 ethernet ports in the decos, if 1 is for the fiber connection, and another 1 is for wall connection, means no more for Unifi IPTV box? how to setup so it can serve wall connection to 2nd floor and IP tv? IP TV use wireless connection?
*
Sorry, not sure, but it had been discussed before. Can't remember the exact solution...

My Unifi IPTV box is connected direct to port 4 fibre modem. I request TM to do it. sweat.gif

Guys, is it worth to upgrade from rm129 100mbps to rm169 300mbps, receive a call this morning for upgrade. Should i? Minimum device is 6 - 8 sometimes up to 12 device. Do u thing it worth, the difference is rm42.40 after sst.

Or should wait for another good deal? Haha helpppp

Monitor your usage. It everyone on 4k Netflix and download addict, then an upgrade would be beneficial. Else, you pay for bragging right only. whistling.gif

FYI, I'm on 100mbps with on average 20++ devices, 24 x 7 connected with 4-5 on Netflix. Still can't even saturate the connection. sweat.gif

Just received my TM's Deco M4.
Installing is very easy... but a few questions...

Does anyone has any comparison with the older Netis (orange) router?
Seems like in my room, my phone only connected to the 2.4Ghz, but my PC is on 5Ghz (Using Netis, all my devices is on 5Ghz).
Don't find anyway to separate both signals or forcing my phone to connect to 5ghz.
I know I can plug in another Deco nearby, but is the signal's weaker?

Is there any way to enable other functions of the Deco?
Seems like there's not much function in the router's config page.
Can't even change DNS or disconnect WAN.

Use Deco app. and use both unit.

Tried the same. First offer was 159 which I rejected and today they offer 169 (WHY??) for 300 Mbps. Well I dont need the speed but this is not exactly a smart customer retention strategy by TM. If digi offers me 130 then you would at least try to closely match it ... I would have paid 139 for 300 Mbps but not more.
*
Since when TM have great customer retention policy? whistling.gif

They offer me a higher price for 100mbps, at that time I'm already on 100mbps. That's happened after few months I downgrade from 800mbps to 100mbps. Go figure. Go figure sweat.gif

I didn't expect such pro-active service from TM.

Did call them after reading your post. They are offering 500M for 199 and 800M for 239 with no unifitv. Free call still available and mesh wifi is included. hmm.gif Already have a powerful router at home plus single story only  sweat.gif

Is it possible for us to reject the mesh wifi ?

Take mesh wifi and sell it for a quick RM. sweat.gif

I have just installed 2 DECO M4. What I observed is that the signal is strong now (5 bars), but the speed does not change. It's still around 240-250mbps for a 300mbps line. With LAN cable, I can get 300mbps.

Is this normal?

Normal for Deco M4.

Hi all. I got a phone call from 0321062000 saying they are from TM and detected I have frequent disconnection with my Unifi and want come my house to check. Anyone for the same call?

Never knew TM can be so proactive or is this a scam?

I tried searching the forum but can’t find anything related to the phone number. Thx.
