If you utilize the installation wizard, it is simple. Just get your Unifi login/password ready during the PPPoE and ISP Profile setup. If you subscribe to any of the Unifi TV packages that comes with Unifi TV box, just follow the wizard's instruction step and choose the Unifi-Home (for Unifi home customers) or Unifi-Business (for Unifi business users) option. Then, the rest is just about setting up Wi-FI access, etc.

You might also refer to this guide from our forumer, Blacktubi. https://www.blacktubi.com/guide/setup-asus-router-for-unifi/

Nota bene: the Unifi TV app is now available on Google Play and supports Android TV, eliminating the need to configure the Unifi TV box (you just only need its Unifi TV pack to be able to use the Unifi TV service on Unifi domain network). If you don't want to set up the VLAN port for your Unifi TV box and already have an Android TV, you may ignore the ISP Profile and set it to none instead of Unifi-Home or Unifi-Business option, so freeing up the LAN port and saves your electricity bill. Simply download the Unifi TV app and install it on your Android TV device.

If you have any Unifi TV add-ons, such as VIU, IQIYI, or Disney+Hotstar, you may install these applications on your Android TV instead of your Unifi TV box using the registered add-on login account tied to your Unifi account.

The Unifi TV app and Unifi TV box can only be used on the Unifi domain network IP address.

Non-Unifi TV subscribers (those who do not subscribe to any Unifi TV package) can use the Unifi PlayTV app; however, login into the PlayTV service requires only a mobile number or a Facebook profile. It varies from the Unifi TV app in platform support in that it does not support Android TV. But, it does not need the app to use the Unifi domain network IP address.

According to the screenshot, your laptop/PC's Ethernet connection is also a bottleneck, with a maximum speed of 100 Mbps. That may be unchangeable on your side (PC/Laptop), or it may be defective due to the Ethernet cable used, or a remote Ethernet port (from a network switch/bridge or a router) to which it is connected is restricted to 100 Mbps.

If the remote Ethernet port is restricted to 100 Mbps but the network/bridge or router claims to have Gigabit Ethernet ports, a faulty port may exist if it is not due to the Ethernet cable used.

If your PC/laptop's Ethernet port specifications restrict it to 100Mbps, get a USB-to-Ethernet adapter that supports Gigabit speeds (but must use a USB 3.x standard interface if you have one) or use a WIFI connection.

However, because you can currently only achieve WIFI rates of less than 100 Mbps, I am skeptical of the WIFI device's competence on your PC/laptop. Examine the highest WIFI standard enabled by the WIFI device.



Use Device Manager for Windows OS to check...



If your WIFI device appears to only support the WIFI 802.11n standard, you should verify the accessible bands in either 2.4 Ghz (20 MHz channel width) or 5 GHz (40 MHz channel width) allowed by it.



https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/sup...s-products.html

For example, when connected to a WIFI 5 GHz network, my Intel WIFI N-7265 device supports up to 300 Mbps (via 2X2 40 MHz mode), but only 144.4 Mbps (via 2X2 20 MHz mode) when connected to a WIFI 2.4 GHz network.



https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/pro...ifications.html

The antenna arrangement is indicated by the 2x2 marking. N-7265 cannot take full benefit of the 2x2 MU-MIMO because it does not support 2x2 MU-MIMO.

Ah, noted. I wasn't paying attention to the entire discussion.

I tried to find a manual for the D-LINK DPN-FX3060V, but it doesn't mention anything regarding guest network support in relation to the Unifi version unit.

You can, however, configure this optical router as a mesh router. However, it is unclear whether we may use any brand of mesh satellites/nodes while configuring it using the WPS button.

https://unifi.com.my/sites/default/files/ht...RK%20ROUTER.pdf

If the guest network feature is not present on Unifi's DPN-FX3060V version unit, I don't think we can create a guest network when mixing mesh satellites/nodes of the non-D-LINK brand to DPN-FX3060V since IP-sharing, and NAT will be disabled (they just become access points or repeaters) (note: I am thinking of Wi-Fi EasyMesh standard; otherwise, it is not possible)

Since I don't have experience with the DPN-FX3060V unit, I can't say that much

Update:

It appears that Unifi provides two optical network routers for 1 and 2 Gbps plans (in this example, the D-LINK DPN-FX3060V Unifi model); one that serves as a primary mesh router and another that serves as a mesh satellite/node. Just hope it supports guest network mode. Otherwise, you are out of luck. However, from the app provided, I don't see any mention of it.



Another sour point is that you can't use third-party mesh networking solutions to expand your home mesh network as they are not compatible with the ones provided by Unifi. If your house is too big, you have to get another one from Unifi to extend the mesh network.

Double-NAT configuration

But, If you insist on still using third-party mesh networking solutions with DPN-FX3060V (the ISP gateway), another approach is to feed the LAN port from DPN-FX3060V into the WAN port of the third-party mesh router. You are setting a double NAT solution with this approach. In this respect, your third-party mesh router will work with its own mesh nodes and you can set up guest network features from the third-party mesh router. However, some apps may not work well in double NAT configuration.

Yes, I understand the 800 Mbps plan is no longer promoted on its website. But where is the formal announcement that the plan will no longer be available?

It is still featured in the FAQ PDF created on April 12, 2023, for the time being.





https://unifi.com.my/sites/default/files/ht...i-Home-Plan.pdf

I note that 800 Mbps is still available as an upgrade to the 500 Mbps plan under the Unifi Ngam campaign, which began on June 23, 2023.

By limiting the availability of the 800 Mbps package and only offering it as an upgrade option, Unifi is encouraging existing customers to upgrade their plan and pay more for the higher speed. This can increase revenue and profitability for Unifi through upselling.

By limiting the availability of the 800 Mbps package and only offering it as an upgrade option, Unifi is encouraging existing customers to upgrade their plan and pay more for the higher speed 1 and 2 Gbps plan. This can increase revenue and profitability for Unifi through upselling.

This is price anchoring: the 2 Gbps connection is still readily available but it is not part of the new campaign it is not upgradeable anymore (the highest plan!). This is done to boost interest in the 1 and 2 Gbps plan.

Based on the marketing push, I believe the 800 Mbps plan will not be discontinued. Let's just wait until the campaign is over, shall we?

This post has been edited by eclectice: Jun 28 2023, 02:34 PM

Thanks for the update! Do you know if the upgrade to 2Gbps will be free or if there will be an additional cost? I haven't seen any official information about it yet. Do you have any unofficial information to share with us?

Hmm, it seems unnecessary to reveal your informant. Anyone who has quoted, please remove the personal info

This post has been edited by eclectice: Jun 28 2023, 04:00 PM

I get what you're saying about the 2 Gbps plan package - you only get 12 months free if you upgrade, but then the speed might slow back down, which is bad news considering the 24-month contract.

Can anyone confirm if this actually happens?

I would greatly appreciate a free speed upgrade without any additional charges, similar to the one we experienced in 2018 during Gobind's tenure. The current free 6/12-month upgrade idea seems incomplete, as it will revert back to a higher price than the previous speed plan. A free speed upgrade would be more beneficial and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Maybe we can overcome the 1 Gbps limit on each ONR's LAN port and mesh backhaul bandwidth by hooking up a switch that supports link aggregation between the TM Unifi ONR router (which may or may not support link aggregation) and a third-party mesh router (which supports it). This would allow us to distribute up to 2 Gbps of bandwidth evenly across multiple devices and interfaces.

This post has been edited by eclectice: Jul 5 2023, 03:21 PM

I mean LAN link aggregation, not WAN link aggregation, just to avoid confusion.

I am proposing this configuration:



In the setup, it is not necessary for our third-party mesh router to have LAN aggregation support since we just need to attain aggregated 2 Gbps Internet coming from the 2.5G LAN3 port of the switch

This post has been edited by eclectice: Jul 5 2023, 04:19 PM

While STP and loop detection are not directly related to the 802.3ad standard, they are complementary mechanisms that are commonly used in conjunction with link aggregation to prevent loops in Ethernet networks.

Instead of setting up the above configuration using LACP, we can use LAG to create a static link aggregation.

Yes, normally we use link aggregation between switches and devices that support link aggregation.

But, this is just a proposal to test LAN aggregation between the switch and Internet router which happens to have aggregated speed capability on different LAN ports due to their 1 Gbps speed limit.



LACP is just part of the IEEE specification 802.3ad link aggregation standard that covers LAGs. With LACP, it becomes a dynamic link aggregation extension over LAGs.

Maybe, this proposal won't work since it may still need 802.3ad support on the ONR side.

I miss your remarks on this. Perhaps this proposal may not work after all. Just because you only have a 1 Gbps plan?

Dealing with this Optical Network Router (ONR) has been a real hassle, especially since we don't have access to full documentation or technical specifications. Instead, we're forced to rely on a lousy app that doesn't provide all the information we need. It's been frustrating trying to configure the ONR properly without the necessary resources to guide us.

What is the link? This is not visible on their website beside the new free 800 Mbps upgrade icon for a select plans.

Is UFB really necessary to access streaming services like Netflix, Disney+Hotstar, and other apps supported by Unifi? In my opinion, it's not essential. In my case, I just install those apps on my Sony Android TV, phones, and tablets and link my registered email/phone number to my Unifi account. I never use the UFB.

The 1 Gbps plans shared by Aniq differ from what I saw on the MyUnifi app. The 1 Gbps All In One plan I'm interested in is priced at RM299/month.




However, there seems to be an error in the orange box/bar that states '2 Gbps' for the selected 1 Gbps All In One plan details above.


The rest of the plans are shown on the MyUnifi app...
