Hi, can I check...
I recently took up SWU 3.0 package (500 mbps, RM119). I was shown a black model (not sure if it's Dlink) at Unifi Centre, but the installer came with a white Fiberhome model.

I didn't know better and allowed the installation to proceed, after checking with the sales person and being told that both are the same.

After tinkering with this router I find it quite lacking - for example I can't set it up as an access point (I'm not using it as a mesh after failing to get my home CCTV to connect with the new router).

So my set up goes ... ONU --> TP Link AC2300 (existing self-bought previously) ---> Dlink (old TM router as AP). The AP is connected upstairs via a LAN cable.

I'm trying to use the Fiberhome to replace the Dlink now.

Any tips? I'm only knowledgeable to the extent of setting SSID, some IP, DNS configs here and there so not too well versed.

I guess I have 2 issues here...
1. Is the router given random or should I have gotten the black Dlink model?
2. How do I make best use of the 2 Fiberhome routers given to me?
*
Nothing should be stopping you to change back to your own router with 1Gbps and below since ONU is still separated

Remember to use Unifi profile/set VLAN 500 for internet in your TP-Link router

For CCTV, try setting the encryption to WPA/WPA2-PSK if your CCTV is old. For some reason old devices doesn’t work well if WPA3-SAE is enabled on the SSID. I have a legacy SSID on my AP running just to handle older clients that can’t take WPA3-SAE.

And to answer
1. You only get what your installer has in stock for anything below 1Gbps.

2. If you want to keep Fiberhome, you should be able to use it both as mesh to extend coverage.

Yes, ONU is not supposed to be accessible once it’s provisioned with OLT even with private IP.

Unifi 300mbps subscriber. Would like to know downsides/disadvantages of CGNAT compared to public IP. Thank you
*
If you have to ask, you probably don’t need it.

Disadvantage:
You can’t host any services on your own and reach it from the internet at large (CCTV-especially those without peer to peer/game servers etc)
Possible poor performance if your CGNAT gateway is congested
Your IP that you are sharing might be blacklisted on some sites and causing issues such as reCAPTCHA not working properly even after passing it

Advantage:
You’re more safe from possible exploits towards your network, mainly router

That’s basically it, but as I said in the beginning, if you have to ask, you probably don’t need it

Don’t cheap out on your router. That’s the root of your cause remember?

Get one from a reputable brand, and call it a day

Try 5GHz and 160Mhz channel width in your SSID settings, and make sure your devices support AX standard. And don’t forget WiFi is susceptible to interference and you should always test with LAN to see if you can achieve your package speed from TM, if it can reach 500, then only choice is to get a better router/AP, if not, complain to TM for them to reset on their end

Hi guys,

I will be getting unifi 2gbps package. Anything i should be concerned about this package? (using cable 6 is ok?)

Should i use the modem/router comes with the package or should i get a better quality mode/router for this? I am a gamer, 90% of the time i will be using LAN, but i want the WIFI connection to be as stable quality as possible (double storey house) Thanks.

Unless you want to get into GPON SFP+ ONU, using the stock D-Link ONR is the only choice you have.

Or you can place it into Bridge mode but you’ll be limited by the 1Gbps LAN port on the ONR. So it’s best to still use the original ONR and take advantage of the WiFi 6 signal to reach beyond 1Gbps if that’s what you’re after.

Stable WiFi quality wise I can’t comment much as I’m currently using my own EAP670 but from other Ktards here, their EasyMesh seems fine for a 2 story house but your mileage may vary from your house to theirs ofc

Would like to double confirm, if using the stock D-Link ONR, can i get the speed more than 1gbps (or reach the highest speed 2gbps) with LAN connection?

Thanks.
Thanks bro. I think i will skip this as i don't want to take any risk.

No, unless you’re gonna be using LACP, which is also not true 2Gbps

Does Unifi still offer an ONR unit for the 1 Gbps plan similar to its 2 Gbps plan as stated in its PDF document (General-FAQ-unifi-Home-Plan.pdf), or has it been replaced by an ONU unit?

Anything beyond 800Mbps is using AIO ONU, Ultra plans basically

*
Keep your current router with AIO ONU in bridge mode but limit yourself to 940-950Mbps peak due to TCP overhead via both WiFi and LAN

Or

Use D-Link ONR but lose some functionality when compared to your TPLink, but you get to hit over 940Mbps assuming conditions is ideal via WiFi but still the same on LAN.

Your move

So with the stock d-link, LAN = won't be more that 1 gbps, but wireless can be more than 1gbps?
No 3rd party modem/router (without the need to do special adjustments) can help to achieve more than 1gbps download speed for LAN connection?

Thanks!
*
If you somehow live in a place with 0 wireless interference then maybe, but in real world, unlikely

I have an AX5400 Enterprise grade AP and I can’t pull anything more than 600-700Mbps on my iPhone 15 Pro. If you want to save cost without the feeling of getting fake 2Gbps, just go for 1Gbps.

You’re a gamer which you’ll only benefit from faster downloads speeds and low latency. You can get more than 1Gbps on wireless but gaming on wireless is not something that you want to do right? And via LAN you can only pull at most 940Mbps under ideal conditions

In conclusion, save the extra money for 2Gnps or wait until TM is not stingy enough to give a ONU/ONR with 2.5Gbps port.

But hey your money your rules. That’s just where I’m coming at with a 1Gbps plan, yes I’ll get upgraded to 2Gbps for free next year and I’m willing to go the SFP GPON ONU route, but you don’t want that which you’ll just be paying TM extra for not much utilization

really flip table if TM give proper ONU for new 2Gbps but refuse to do the same for exisiting 2Gbps. sudahlah harga tak mahu revise down to match you guys 1Gbps->2Gbps.

I mean the 2Gbps would be the most vocalized group considering everything, so they better be preparing their OEM 2.5G ONU or else whistling.gif

Sorry to say it is because iphone wifi suck. Some top end android can reach with 1.5gbps side by side with router without pressure, with AX3000.

Any screenshots? As far as I’m aware, there isn’t any difference. I have a Z Fold 3 as well and it’s doing the same/similar results

Z Fold 3 is by no end the most high end android device but FastConnect 6900 in the Snapdragon 888 is already capable on reaching 3.6Gbps

Yes, I am aware that 160Mhz is not supported by iPhones , my AP currently is running in 160Mhz mode at the moment

A lot of factors to consider. Wifi doesn't build for stability, only for convenience. And once the range more than 2-3meters, it starts to degrade. If it more than 2 walls, that's almost / no difference with wifi5. Most nodes especially phones are only 2x2 mu-mimo, with 160mhz max 2400m, while some of them are only 80mhz, mean best at 1200m. Real life usage -30% discount.
This is what my understanding on the wifi knowledge.

** Isn't Fastconnect wifi 6e?

*** Just read snapdragon doc, fastconnect is 2x2+2x2, if you dont have wifi 6e, mean you are using 2x2 2.4g + 2x2 5g. If your phone is running 80mhz ax3000, or equal to 1200m. You probably having best speed of 2.4g 80-100m + 5g 800-900m. You rarely get beyond 1gbps. And it wont match the total speed like 3.6gbps as it is total max speed.
*
Considering that most of the time I have LOS it's certainly not the expected performance but it'll work I guess. Only saw it hit beyond 1Gbps on WiFi on the ONR itself when it's being installed and never after that

Hi all,

Good day.

I recently moved to new place and applied for 300mbps but pending due to limited ports.

"Greetings from unifi. We regret to inform you that we are unable to proceed with your order for now due to limited ports in your area. We are in the midst of upgrading our network with additional ports to serve you better. Please allow 7-14 business days for our network team to set up the service for you. We will inform you once there are available ports in your area. In the meantime, you can keep track of your order status for updates. "

Hence the only solution is to go for Unifi Air 5G.

Wondering if anyone using Unifi Air 5G, can provide your feedback.
Any problem with latency?
Any Frequent connection problem?
Is the speed really 150mbps ?
*
All 5G plans in Malaysia are using DNB’s equipment. Any 5G plans are basically cut from the same kilt.

If you’re still planning on moving to Fibre when it becomes available, go for U Home 5G and a cheap 5G modem on Shopee/Lazada while waiting for Unifi to free up ports.

UMB has a flat cap of 1TB for both 4G/5G but no contract if SIM only
Yes 5G has a 100GB Cap for 4G and no cap on 5G and no contract if SIM only
Unifi 5G has no cap for both but you need to take their device and sim and be tied down to a contract for 2 years

In short term, if your data usage isn’t too high and you’re in coverage of UMB 4G, go for that. I have a Yes FT5G SIM and even in my iP15Pro, I lose connection to it sometimes, but my UMB 5G has been rock solid on my Z Fold 3 on both 4G/5G. Yes has unlimited for 5G but in the event of bad reception, falling back to 4G is probably gonna be a worse experience. Unifi is self explanatory, 2 years contract if you’re gonna move to Fibre anyway, it’s a waste of money whistling.gif

UMB 68/m + 600 ish 5G router tongue.gif
