ic. thanks for the sharing.

so other brand wireless devices if support easymesh can also works with this unifi mesh wifi?
wonder if how much this model selling? if cheap, maybe just buy one to try the wifi 6 mesh.

then i need to try making a call to know if next month the call is being charged to know if the free calls are still intact.
(not so crucial since can call using mobile nowadays but good to know)

tm seems to have making it available as a mesh option for customers.


from this article, it seems like digi fibre is also giving this same model of wifi router.

All Digi Fibre plan come with a Zyxel EX3300-T0 router, and it comes with a 1-year warranty. Digi Fibre also supports these routers below if you preferred to use your own routers at home:

ZTE ZXHN H198A
Huawei DN8245X6

what is the brand of the easymesh wifi router u showed?

is it available for purchase anwwhere? how much is that?

ic... the d-link black one looks nice to be frank. like those boxy design. haha.

ic. the dlink one is listed on the unifi website?


after so many trial and error for different location of the mesh client node in my master bedroom, i finally i managed to find the best spot to get the maximum speed upstairs. nice! and again the loaded latency is still very decent. haha.

using linksys wifi 5 mesh.

ic....

i found this. seems to be the certificate of the new zyxel mesh wifi router that tm gives now...
Zyxel


i believe this zyxel should be real new that is newer than the dlink one?

ic.




so they just randomly issue the wifi routers depending on stocks i guess. but the dlink seems to be a better one out of the two due to the easymesh support?

never, just keep as spare first.

my current linksys wifi 5 mesh works well for the current plan (300Mbps) i am using.
I am the only one who uses the unifi at my house so it is totally overkilled to me also.
I had been using 500Mbps/1Gbps symmetric plans in lion city for the past 1.5 years did not feel any difference actually.

ic. good to hear that.

but i think the dlink one support easymesh which it can work with other brand of mesh wifi router. so technically it is a better model?

ic. so tehcnically even other brand, must have this easymesh supported in order to use with this given tm dlink mesh wifi router?

then still ok..

anyway, one needs to have 500Mbps plan and above to take advantage of wifi 5. so not a must for me to use wifi 6 since i am not using those plans. wifi 6 mesh (other popular brands) are not cheap still actually.

how much the dlink free router can be sold?

actually not very difficult based on the guide given.
pretty much the concept is like how you pair a wireless device to ur wireless router via WPS.

what 'upgrade' is that besides? so good that maxis just provides free upgrade? so ur house is having more than one unit of the huawei easy mesh wifi router? how is the performance?

Maxis EasyMesh

i think the position of the mesh nodes make a big big difference. i spent quite a few hours to test the best spots to place the child node in my master bedroom to get the best speed. finally i found it and now i am having the same speed in my master bedroom as downstairs.

I am using linksys wifi 5 mesh which i find it quite little ppl use in bolehland. they work quite well for me to cover my double storey.

spent about sgd169 for this combi. (that time there was promo to get 1 x velop at sgd10 with the purchase of the MR series mesh wifi router)

Seems like the MPro Mesh function of the zyxel wifi mesh router is the same as EasyMesh after all.

yeah. one thing in lion city, electronic products can easily find sale throughout from the mega electronic store.

bolehland hardly see discounts at most can find more discounts for tvs. not so much on IT products.
to get cheaper than retail price, can only go to shopee etc. to find.

how is the performance of the huawei mesh wifi? do u get full speed near to the child nodes?

easymesh comparing to the mesh by individual vendor.
i think the greatest advantages are:
1) it allows different vendors devices to work together as long as the devices support easymeh
2) it is easier to setup comparing to traditional mesh which normally will need to go thru the wizards on the app to complete the setup which now u just use the WPS button to complete the pairing.

Not bad. Managed to maintain good speed for upstairs master bedroom. Using wifi 5 mesh.

is 100 a free no to call using the telephone line under unifi?

ic. ok. thanks. need to try my unifi fixed line to confirm if it is still have free call plans still. long time never use already.



besides, just curious, is there any plan for Allo to increase their coverage? or they simply just target on those areas that is not covered by tm or specific area?

the symmetric plan looks attractive. i read somewhere before, symmetric plan technically works better than asymmetric plan like unifi rite? anyway, lion city telcos are all having symmetric fibre broadband only.

seems like now johor - pasir gudang ,kota tinggi senai have coverage already.

ic. but public ip even now DiGi does not offer that as well even by request. Maxis still can request for that. Celcom i think they also do not give rite even by request?

symmetric speed is the nice part.

but cannot deny the fact, unifi is actually quite stable. i have not encountered any downtime since 2016 when i first install unifi at my house.

Yes very good performance indeed.
upstairs I am using a tri band node as child. below the main one connects to the ONT is a dual band.
previously using the dual band node (now as parent) the result upstairs is not good.
going to try to replace the dual band node (downstairs) to see if i can even get a better result.

All the mesh nodes are connected via wireless.
can get almost full speed or 90% speed most of the time and with reasonable latency below 100ms i would say very good already. now i do not encounter any lag while playing mobile game upstairs.

therefore newer estate, it is better since everything is underground. less chances for fibre cable to break etc. also.
