that isn't direct, i believe.

but those who had streamyx 15 years ago, went on to unifi 12-13 years ago has a long history.

streamyx->50/100->300->500->800->?? several free upgrades, turbo, free routers, free boxes, etc.

sure, they are paying among the lowest now, but they also had paid Unifi a lot of money over >a decade.

i m one of them.

i m using RT-AC1300UHP.

ethernet, 800mbps - that's the max it can do.

wifi... depends on yr device and distance.

am suggested the next one to get is ASUS TUF-AX4200... for 1, 2gbps.

right, no need to rush.

TM gave me the DLink AC1200.

it was ok, but I prefer to use the Asus 1300UHP when i had 500->800mbps.

been using it a few years, v good, very reliable.

actually, this is not new.

go back a few years, there was a time the same kind of frenzy happened in 2018, turbo or gobind, goblin... whatever they called it.

100->300, 300->500....

some had the word "perpetual" in their new bill, some don't.

i didn't see the word "perpetual" in my bill but there was no "temp" or "12m, 24m" either.

when i called months later, i was assured it is permanent.

think it's just a TM unifi way of doing things poorly, incomplete.... so, everyone keeps guessing, having fun.

free speed upgrade is a curse!


really... this question of whether yr free upgrade is temp or permanent is definitely major - half the posts in this thread for last 10 days is about that.

those guys at the top at unifi must be laughing their butts off having fun - "see how they behave when we tell a bit but not all"!!

the truth may well be... they dun blardy know yet, take their time to decide later... as has been seen before, nothing new.

when 100, 300 mbps frenzy is over, it will be time for 500 ->800 moans and groans.

800 ->1gbps, 2gbps bet club... next year la... merry Xmas first.

thanks to your reminder, i changed out this cable.

i had thought that cable in place was a cat6e which i bought at a shop.

but it wasn't labeled; manysuch cables aren't label... so, be careful!

after changing to a cable that came with the asus TUF AX4200, lan speed is now 82x (previously 78x), wifi speed improved too.

u made my morning, thank you!

ya, i now have serious doubts about some of the cheaper cables in the shop!

so many questions on speed after upgrades, new router, new eqpt, etc.. n i m a little confused or maybe out of date on wifi tech...?

will be good if u or other gurus can u help clarify:

assuming proper modem, premium router, correct cables, latest premium mobile phone used to test:

1. is it normal to expect full wifi speed using wifi 6, 5ghz? Or typically 70, 80% of max?

2. does it make a big difference using ookla, fast.com, netflix apps for testing?

3. if using wifi 5, 5ghz, close to router, what may be the max speed one shud expect... 30, 50, 60% of max?

that means...

ethernet : wifi
800 : 400-500
500 : 250-300
300 : 150-200

i m puzzled why still 1 of every 2 posts in this or related threads are about "not getting full speed with wifi"!

what if say, not premium-premium... but premium enough router n phone?

and... what diff will it make using wifi 6 vs wifi 5? or little/no diff?

thanks much, jojo and felix.

i think i get it now.

yr history n price is similar to mine.

only diff is mine was 179. so, it's 119 + 60.

because i watch VOD mostly, i upgraded to ultimate max during recent promo to have netflix, iqiyi, hbogo on top of disney+.

this way, it's cheaper than a la carte for the ones i want.

i won't expect more... just give me 1 gbps... 2gbps, no need, really.

My lan speed, no upgrade, also showing some instability lately.

Think it's due to all kinds of upgrades, downgrades at this time, affecting whole network.

Maybe give it time to settle down...

the new upbv2:

vlan600 - unifitv works, other apps don't.
to use other apps, TURN on wifi as well.

vlan500 - everything works but unifitv PQ a bit lower in quality.
some users say vlan500 is better in terms of framerate adjustment, less hiccups than vlan600.

unifi NEVER throttle torrent. results vary with public or private trackers, seeds, peers, router, etc.

my 800mbps, new asus router, 5ghz wifi 50ft... i get 3XXmbps... and max 30MBps on torrents.

used to get max 24MBps with last router.

this one, i hv no idea... soli...
