Hi guys, I have been using unifi 800mbps for quite some time and realised that the speed can be very bad quite often recently. As I've read through this thread I realised that changing the router would help as I'm still using the stock router provided by TM.

Was looking at D-LINK DIR-895L AC5300 Ultra, will that be good enough? Or is there a better alternative? Looking for a budget below rm1000.

Thanks guys.

Get something with wifi 6 instead since your plan is already that fast
I suggest giving blacktubi a poke here https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4658096

Ohh, alright thanks alot, posted in the thread there

Well for every house it’s different as the owner have different requirements and different cable layout

Mine is just swapping from maxis infra to Tm infra so only outdoor cable for me

Personally I think stock router cant handle wifi with 800mbps package.
I am doing my research too to upgrade my 5-6 years old RT-AC55UHP which is still running good and strong for 5 person that can watch / online learning via Meet/Zoom at the same time with no issues.
Currently, I am considering upgrade to AX series router (wifi-6) , with your budget I think you can consider Ai-Mesh routers like RT-AX56U / AX3000 or go even better one.

p/s: I have no ideas about other brands.

Not too sure what its called but look like this.
On 2.4GhZ. really depends on the mood. Sometines it appear fine but the next day its dropping again
Router placed on 2nd floor, and mostly drop on 1st floor although is directly below only. terrace double storey

Probably something from Az-tech, consider it an E-Waste lol

I'm on Unifi 800 too and I'm using a Mikrotik hAP AC2 as my router. It's around RM300.

Fiberhome SR120-A

Go for wifi6 router and wait this CNY shopee/lazada sale. Plenty of them under RM1K budget

thank you for ur explanation! will take note on that

Anyone signed up with free TV promo? what is the TV model?

Hmm seems like 2 people recommending Wifi 6 routers, shall have a look at them. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

U can refer Blacktubi recommended router

i can see that's not a good router. better just buy asus router for better performance. If the 1st floor doesnt improve after you buy new router, use the stock TM for coverage on 1st floor.

It’s future proof for the next at least 3-4 years. You won’t regret it 😊

But now got Wifi 6E
Anyway had been using wifi 6 router for 2months now, so far so good

Please anyone can show me a picture of standard installation ?

The most i found is this photo at youtube
what is the white box ?
But at lease there is comparison on different ISP installation.
I want to look at standard installation for unifi.

Sorry to tag , hope you can help me to find a few picture on standard installtion for unifi also if you have other isp also can ?

Each house is different. You can Google for Unifi installation. There might be blogs that show the process.
