Office hour today ended.
Officially everyone sudah basah kena kencing by Fahmi, again

So now 500mbps going to be the lowest tier for public ip?

If you are using Digi fast would better.
They rigged connection to speedtest.net server that lets you go as far as your LTE allows, but not the other real usage that is bound to artificial package limit. While other ISP/telco display the speed faithfully according to their plan limit.
After some time they paid soyacincau to publish story about how they have the best stats in speedtest.net (apparently the sponsored article is now deleted. can't find it anymore)

Since fast.com is just part of open connect server in ISP, they can't tamper it without causing collateral damage to the rest of Netflix service.

Not sure if they are still doing this shit post-merger though. But I still wouldn't trust them to not fucking with speedtest.net.

Try local transfer as well.

The bottleneck could be at wifi, but more often than not it's due to underperforming cpu (especially when qos is enabled=hw acceleration disabled),
so anything that passes through nat, ie. wan connection, experiences slowdown while anything within lan is working fine whether it through cable or wifi.

Yes. Not much in raw chipset performance. But rather in wifi performance.
AX53 base spec is pretty much same as AX23, except it uses newer Qualcomm chipset that allows it to use 160mhz channel width instead of variant of Mediatek MT7621 that is limited to 80mhz (similar to the one you find in Asus RT-AX53U).
And it also reportedly runs cooler than AX23.

edit:
oh and you can get it for rm206 right now

well I just recommend it because it's the best value you could get at that price point right now,
while some people blindly and gladly pay rm260 for RT-AX53U made from a 2014 version MT7621AT chipset just because it has 'Asus' name

Personally tplink is no go for me since I already invested in Asus aimesh ecosystem.
Even if I want to change to tplink mesh, Onemesh lacks of ethernet backhaul support is a big yikes for me.

Depends on your budget.
If big budget go Asus. RT-AX86U is is well rounded with substantial asking price but leaves almost nothing to be desired.
If low budget go tplink. Right now AX53 has the best value and you really can't go wrong with this one.

The thing about Asus value proposition is you go big or go home.
For main router, either get Broadcom models like AX86U or AX88U or its derivatives , or don't do it at all and get tplink instead. For aimesh endpoint its okay to get low end models.

Other than no DFS channel, missing some channels and hardcoded region with no option to change, why not?

legality is different story though. if it has no sirim/mcmc sticker/cert its illegal to use here.
but hey its not a crime if you don't get caught right?

its true. Some channels that we can use without restriction (within base wifi spec) here, like 32-48 is rated for indoors only china.

but i imagine power output is not much a real issue when you are going to do mesh anyway

Asus AX86u would be 1.3k-1.4k(pro version). Not sure whats the difference other than higher clock in pro.
tplink AX53 rm250. But lowest is rm206 in sales today.

yea. When network people talk about the old cat5e can't support, they are talking about datacenter or enterprise networking context.
In this environment cables are almost always run in big bundles across big buildings. There is heavy crosstalk among these individual cables that are beyond what cat5e shielding could protect.

It doesn't really matter in the home setting when you just run a single cable where crosstalk issue is not a concern.

yea I assume the cable built within specified spec.

but for real tho. cat* is just name and published spec, at the end it depends on honesty and reputation of manufacturer.
During pkp I did emergency purchase of this really cheap no name 'cat5e' cable from shopee. Run 20m inside my house passing through all kind of noise like mains cable, AVR and fan.
It refuses to auto negotiate to 1gbps speed. Capped 100mbps.

After some time I replace with proper AMP brand cable, only then can get 1gbps.

they are too busy being politically correct and pleasing western people.

Should be fine.
This is router TM give when you upgrade from 100 to 300mb mesh promo last year.

I have lots to complain about this specific router, but performance is not one of them.

Debian x64 lts
always have at least 150 seeds and lots of them are on gigabit seedbox.

but its a 4.gb dvd image too small for meaningful test beyond 500mbps. By the time you contacted enough peer to reach 30MB/s its already 75%

That yellow triangle, possibly you just have p2p connectivity issue?
lots of reason. maybe you are somehow in private address. or upnp not working. have you tried manually portforward?

plus you are only connected to 30 seeds while I typically get around 100.

Welp. That sums up your issue.
Its the private ip. Since cgnat is handled at ISP level, there is nothing you could readily configure on your end to improve your speed.

The only way to go is setup/get a VPN.

If port in to take 500mbps unifi do I get public IP by default or need to request and provide justification?

yea. 119 for 500m legitimately exist.
I just returned from tmpoint at xx just now, they said this one is reserved as counter offer for people attempting to port out.

whats this even mean
