Hi all,

Currently with TM 100Mbps fibre broadband plan. Old (ZTE) modem and router (RG Dlink WBR2300) was given by TM.

Please recommend a new setup to take advantage of the (temporary) speed increase of 300Mbps..


Thanks.

Better ask on unifi thread
Or try TP link ax12, since is temporary use

And BTU support or 100mbps?

will do.

Not sure about the question.. don't know what they are using outside the unit (still copper ?), then inside house it's fibre...

Wow that D-Link is absolutely ancient

Did you not get any new hardware with the speed upgrade?

Do also provide the model of the ZTE

New hardware? No, this is regarding the most recent upgrade announcement. Don't think TM offered to swap existing hardware, did they?

It's a ZTE F620.

The ZTE is Gigabit and good to go
but that D-Link is absolutely ancient, must immediately replace

Router: Mikrotik RB750Gr3 & above
Wifi: Mikrotik ax series or TPLink Deco m4 & above.

TP-Link AX20, RM279

Router better Mikrotik. Firmware update for life.
Wifi better Tp link. Mikrotik so so only

Budget? Anyway, as the above forummer mentioned, AX20 should do just fine. I myself thinking should I get it just for wifi 6 https://s.lazada.com.my/l.mWP4

Haven't bought a router before; all provided... so RM200 ok ?

Huawei ax3 better la , it is ax3000 rm130 or can find cheap around rm100.
Huawei ax3 quadcore can get around rm150 too

How much are you paying now? Possible to resubscribe at a cheaper or same price? Then can get free router from TM.

Or renew your contract to get a free router.

The current free DLink Wifi6 router not bad.

iPhone 13 Pro 5Ghz 2x2 80Mhz. Unifi 800/200

This model is less than RM200 https://s.lazada.com.my/l.mWPA

: You may need to check with your Internet Service Provider ™ if your existing modem/ONT can support the higher speeds. If not, they might provide you with a compatible modem/ONT for the 300Mbps plan.

Router: The D-Link WBR-2300 is quite outdated, and it may not be capable of handling a 300Mbps connection effectively. Consider investing in a new router that supports higher speeds and provides better overall performance. Look for a router with at least AC1750 or AC1900 Wi-Fi standards, which are suitable for your plan. Brands like Asus, TP-Link, Netgear, and Linksys offer good options.

Contract dah habis ke? Pergi tm point @ unifi store mintak swu 3.0 (stay with unifi) boleh ambik router mesh wifi 6 yang lebih baik dari wifi N/AC lama

Sign new contract with TM and get new router or buy your own. I think best value for money is mercusys. Blacktubi did a review

And 11.11 sale is incoming, better add a few shop's router into cart, mark down the price, check the shop vc daily.
Collect bank vc(normally 100-xx), then go for lower price + reliable shop sharp 11.11 0.00 AM, done.

Which platforms do you guys buy from?
Lazada, Shoppee etc?

Both are fine
Lazada may have Lazada Bonus which slices a chunk off the price
But Shopee also has its crazy vouchers or rebate now

I'm not loyal to either of them, just buy whatever gives me the best deal
