can split of course. haha. but since the steering works quite well. i never split.

splitting the bands has the problem that u may be connected to 2.4GHz most of the time if u are moving around the house.

using this model MR8300 - 2.4 and 5 GHz(2x) (simultaneous tri-band) with one node WHW0101.
good enough to cover my house (double storey as well)

although it is wifi 5, but good enough since my unifi speed is only 100Mbps. Going to upgrade to 300Mbps soon though.

Bro u received ur wifi router? Is it wifi 6? I went on Monday and I got the exact same deal as u and they also said it comes with wifi router free but never say wifi 5 or wifi 6.

The lady said they will call me on the installation but until today I never receive any calls and the speed is also not upgraded. Today is Thurs already and tmr jaybee is not a working day. Faint.

6 months free and rm129 perpertual for 300Mbps and free wifi router (wifi 6).

i have not restarted my BTU before. on 100Mbps plan since 2016. not sure if they also change mine to private ip... maybe i can try tonite. my ip has been public ip... but never restarted BTU after they announce the private ip stuff for 100Mbps...

since my connection is going to be changed to 300Mbps soon after this sunday. haha.

Hey guys, just want to ask. It is certainly not worth it to add rm15 to upgrade to wifi 6 mesh rite? It is rm360 (not sure if have SST) or not?

actually one thing I do not really understand why bolehland fibre broadband requires PPoE (username and password) while lion city all the ISPs do not require that which just they just provide BTU and u connect it to any wifi router it will works straightaway.

when finding wifi routers to support unifi, also must find those that allows the entering of username and password for PPoE and not all may work for unifi. If need to support the unifi tv also need to buy those wifi router that supports VLANs even.

Am using Linksys wifi 5 mesh. And this is tested in my master bedroom upstairs.

Anyway to improve on this loaded latency?

Ic. Hopefully it is ok one. They give 2 x wifi 6 router?

I never opt for mesh wifi. Do they also give 2 x routers?

Speed downstairs.

Test at living room (parent node)



Test at master bedroom (child node)
Managed to bring down the loaded latency after swapping the nodes.

anyone is having this ONU-ALCATEL-LUCENT-I240G? what is the maximum speed it supports?

I see. That’s good. Meaning no need to change BTU for higher speed plans.

Yesterday nite do a swap of my mesh parent and client node now my master bedroom also can get very good loaded latency. thanks for @soonwei to point out. Previously I managed to get full speed upstairs I was very happy already but did not know the loaded latency can make quite a big impact also. becos I am playing mobile game last time I always played half way for no reason the Ping suddenly got very high or sometimes I got disconnects from the game server and need to reconnect or even restart the app.

After the fixed it is much better now. 👍😜

Am using wifi 5 mesh.

Besides, I restarted my BTU yesterday I am still getting public ip (100Mbps plan).





The signal of my child node is quite weak.

Finally received the wifi router from the installer.

Is this wifi 5 or 6? Anyway I am not using it since I already have my mesh. But good to keep it for spare or pass it to my parents. This model considered ok still or it is just a trash? Haha.

or this model is actually a mesh wifi router also (although one unit)?

seems like it is actually a Mesh Wireless Gateway? but dun think it works with other brand of mesh rite?

hi guys, i had settled my mesh now.

which i want to ask also

1) do u guys turn on IPv6 for your unifi? Does it improve/degrade your user experience by turning on? Should one enable it for unifi?

2) which public DNS gives the faster user experience? 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1?

ic. thanks. will try them out.

funny that lowyat has this indication if a post is from IPv6 or not. haha.

Yeah quite a new brand, haven’t tried it. but watch the YouTube video also knowing that it can be considered as a mesh wifi router which it is not bad for that case. but only have one unit of it. Else can see if the mesh is working better than my current Linksys wifi 5 mesh.

Saw the video the mesh configuration indicates that it can work with wireless devices from different vendors? If it is true, then not too bad also. But probably the other brand also needs to support the same protocol or something to work.

After you are changed to 300Mbps, do they really cancel off ur unifi tv?

What about your fixed line? Do you still have the telephone line remained? Does ur line still have the 600 mins free talktime?
