The support for EasyMesh is very limited currently. I believe most vendor will refuse to support it to keep people locked into their own ecosystem.

It's also not as good as proprietary mesh standards developed by most OEMs.

Yes, good luck getting every vendor to implement it properly. Some brands can't even mesh properly within their own ecosystem.

The biggest different of WiFi 6 is the speed when the signal is weak. Let's say after 2 walls WiFi 5 will only give you 100Mbps. WiFi 6 could be around 250Mbps in best case scenario.

WiFi 6 is more efficient so it can transport more data even on poor signal conditions.

EasyMesh is nothing more than refined WDS repeater mode.

AP steering, band steering and roaming will still depends on how each OEM configure them.

Yup the Linksys Velop series are pretty decent. Somehow they are rather pricey over here.

M1 Pro over Wi-Fi
Consume a ton of CPU though.

TM blocked TCP traceroute since the Streamyx or even 1515 days.

If you are facing strange issues like things loading longer, constant reload but speedtest is fine, you probably need a new router.

Cause the mesh you are using is not fast enough. You need to really overspec your mesh WiFi to get optimal speed.

Take a dual-band WiFi 6 AX1800 mesh system as example, the maximum capacity is 1200Mbps on 5GHz.

Maximum attainable speed on mesh node is half of the capacity due to WiFi retransmission = 600Mbps

Factor in around 50% signal loss over 2 walls = 300Mbps

Factor in another 20% lost due to various inefficiencies = 240Mbps

You can apply this formula to get a rough estimation of the speed you can get on the mesh node of your mesh WiFi system.

When you want to buy a dual-band mesh WiFi system, just multiply the 5GHz backhaul speed by 20% to get a rough estimation of the maximum speed you can get on the mesh node.

It's 2023, custom firmware only provide added features. Gone are the days where vendors happily provide the source code.

Their performance and stability is way worst than stock firmware most of the time as they do not have access to the Wi-Fi drivers and many other non-standard ARM features backed in the SoC including NAT acceleration, Wi-Fi offload engine, crypto and etc.

Don't think the TM D-Link firmware comes with an unmount (safety remove) feature.

Some devices just don't work well with Wi-Fi 6.

I have an older Sony TV and a few China TV box with this exact issue too.

That's their trick, they really don't want you to be constantly pulling 2Gbps

With that configuration, it will be really hard to pull more than 1Gbps especially with that free modem router

But, it is possible to use another router and do bonding to get the full 2Gbps. However, it is tricky and expensive. A router that can trunk 2Gbps without NAT acceleration gonna cost quite a bit as well.

Unifi 2Gbps ONR modem router specs

D-Link DPN-FX3060V

Wi-Fi Specs:	Wi-Fi 6 AX3000
Configuration:	2x2 (2T2R)
5GHz max bandwidth:	160MHz
5GHz max speed:	2402Mbps
2.4GHz max bandwidth:	80MHz
2.4GHz max speed:	576Mbps

Based on screenshots from sya102003, TM still sticking with VLAN 500 and PPPoE for authentication.

I am curious to know whether it can even NAT 2Gbps reliably to reach the promised 2Gbps aggregate speed.

It's either 1Gbps and having equipment that can't even provide speed more than 50Mbps after 2 walls

Or choose 300Mbps, invest a good equipment that will guarantee 300Mbps on every corner of your property

If you ask me, I will choose option 2

Did you read the question asked by the original author?

No, it doesn’t support link aggregation

There's no easy solution.

It's possible to clone the OLT authentication shown by Anime4000 and used it on some modded Huawei ONU or GPON SFP module.

Meanwhile, feedback to SKMM and YB Fahmi else we will have more telco doing this soon.

Meanwhile, TIME is having a good time poking fun at Unifi 2Gbps

Edit: This 1+1 analogy is actually a pretty good explanation on how the current Unifi 2Gbps works

IMO, their most reliable touch point is still physically going to an actual TM point but they are closed during weekends.

All other channel is hit and miss

2.5Gbps GPON

Hence almost no infra upgrade is required on their end, almost every FTTH location is covered

There's a discussion on split ratio many pages back

Just a quick update regarding public IP for 100Mbps plan.

I helped a friend with genuine use case to request for public IP via live chat on Unifi portal yesterday and it's already done this morning.

They will require some pictures and I attached a picture of the CCTV DVR and the screen showing the ports that are required.
