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 separatedI 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.

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.
