what is your fiberhome sr120-a firmware version? mine as follows:

Model Name:SR120-A
Hardware Version:SR120-A_V1.0
Firmware Version:SR_V1.02

does upgrade firmware helps on stability?

How many mbps you subscribe?

the info i checked before E4 only up to 100mbps.

If more than 100mbps, i will recommend M4 or M5 which support up to 500mbps.

Malaysia only have E4, M4 and H4C, dont have S4.

this way, Deco will be work as AP to extend wifi range. This can be work too.

But my personal are change the main router to Deco.
1st Deco as my main router. 2nd Deco will be between the wifi range main deco.

oo.. didn't know deco can replace directly the existing tm wifi router.. thought only serve as mesh.
means the deco itself can establish pppoe and there is configuration for it..
right?

The default router provided by TM is not exactly the best in its class
In a way that might or will become a bottleneck to your mesh network

By connecting deco directly to the TM modem (BTU), you are reducing the amount of unnecessary devices - save power, less chance of things going wrong and less headache trying to troubleshoot them and a tad better latency for your local network?

some brand even already custom the firmware or rom for TM.....
Limited the configuration.....

ya.. knowing if use tm default devices, there could be some limited configuration.
but wondering is the deco dual internal antenna is better than the tm wifi router (fiberhome sr120a) with 4 external external?

FiberHome with 4 external antenna, but single location.
Deco with Dual antenna but multiple location in 1 house.

For myself, i use Deco M5 in 1st.
Then change to Deco X20, Deco X20 much far can go and stable. laugh.gif

Deco X20 - Dual Antenna
Deco M5 - 4 antenna
*
both m5 and x20, over my budget.. furthermore im only on 30mbps unifi fiber.. i think m40 jz fine for me (i guess)..
and in dilemma whether to maintain fiberhome or replace fiberhome with m40.. not very sure the configuration.

I not suggest you Deco X20 or Deco M5.
That why asked you early how many mbps you use before this.

I am telling you the different between 4 antenna and dual antenna. doh.gif
