I just casually search on Facebook Marketplace and Carousell. I got this unit from 1G unifi user from Facebook Marketplace for RM70. I find the value for the money there, so I decided to buy a unit.

Yes spot on. Hahaha. Just cod'd yesterday. Good price mah. sambar saja.

Nahh not lucky la man. I just buy stuffs to learn. Everyday must learn something new. So I just usha lor what product is interesting for my eyes. Never knew I can get the unit for dirt cheap. Hahaha.

Wait what.. Why wanna buy back one of the router since he sold you two?

I love the color theme there. Looks so visually appealing compared to the stock green shade. Also, the stock's D-Link logo is like someone who cropped the image with a fake .png image and slap into the firmware.

Yes saw this in the TM Unifi members group. The antenna design also is different compared to the white version. Personally, I prefer white casing with black form factor.

I am currently running the unit on RG mode. Disabled all TR-069 stuff. I am not a big fan router phoning home, especially stock ISP router. Did the same for D-Link DIR3060Z, Fiberhome, and any other unifi routers, previously.

I don't mind loosing the ability to receive any form of new patch / firmware for any unifi router since I wont be using their default router anyway. Just tingling around for fun and learning purpose.

As for [1], I agree. I am using as RG mode now. Still using my Alcatel Lucent / Nokia (black-slim unit)

As for [2], I can agree with IoT is suffered from bootloop if messed up, its headache and almost all IoT devices are phoning home at unprecedented rate on daily basis.

Thats the problem which I personally want to solve for. No point using the hardware provided by the ISP, especially brands like D-Link which has a very bad track record in terms of security.

Got this from TM Unifi Members facebook page. According to the OP, 100 to 800Mbps users will receive this.

Never preferred to use ISP supplied router. Never will.

Since when the ISPs supply good CPE / router for their customers? TM is the worst (D-Link, TP-Link is okayish, Fiberhome, Zyxel: WTF man). Maxis sticks with TP-Link, Kaon, and Huawei; TIME afaik TP-Link and Huawei, Celcomdigi is skyworth after Archer Ax10, and Huawei for FTTR, Umobile Fibre not sure.

ISPs by default getting paid by their subscribers on monthly basis and at least they should have the courtesy to provide after sales support as in fw and hardware replacement for the equipment's they supply for their customers after 2 years. Remember the legendary DIR-850L issue?

They should have a dedicated page or support page that publishes firmware updates on monthly basis for the models they supply to their customer. For general user with TR-069 enabled, TM can do over remotely. Not sure what the COO or CTO of TM doing. Simple thing like this kennod do. lol.

I prefer D-Link ONR BL over this anyways. But yeah man, must sub > 1G package.

You got that right mate.

~gg. That AC68U is good man. If paired with Asus-Merlin fw, can lasts for about 5 years more. One of the oldest ASUS model getting firmware support.

Whether its top tier or mid tier, we are subscribers. We are paying on monthly basis for the service. They have to provide fw support and change the hw for free every 2 or 3 years without contract.

Agree. My user experience with Unifi app is troublesome. I prefer the design flow architecture of Celcom app. I used their Celcom Home Wireless 300GB before. They unify everything into one single app. I am not sure about maxis. But I love celcom for that. I hate when I need to use two separate app to pay Unifi Air 5G and fibre. So, I used jompay, but now i shift to autopay.

I feel you man. I am quite surprised to see such company having bad design in the system for such simple app. Looking at the review at Google Play shows the competency of their developers.

You are right mate. I couldn't agree more. We have beautiful talents in Malaysia, yet they are underutilized. When I saw Unifi has their own community site before taken down. Basically it's a ping-to-pong game. If you encounter problem, you will be asked to meet / complain at point A, B and etc. In the end, you ended up as a stressed person w/ the problem remain unsolved.

Not a big fan of their current logo and fonts they using.

Nowadays I only make payments through e-wallet. Save the headache. No need to see the app. Once six month just download the statements. Sometimes, I don't even get my bill statement through app.

Waiting to see the progress mate.

You got balls mate. I still prefer the ONU/BTU + router config for any speed tier. If ONR, I will prefer to go for reputable ONR brands like Huawei or Nokia, if any of the local ISP offer these for landed. I will avoid D-Link products at any cost lol.

Anyone tested the Skyworth AX3000 yet? If yes, hows the unit and performance?

I don't blame those who unaware of D-Link security practices. Once I toy around, I will sell my D-Link Black ONR lol. Haha.

I am happy you got a cool installer mate. if all installer like this, ISP can bungkus already.

Really? Is that ONR or a standalone ONU/BTU? Brand?

I respect a few TM installer. I always talk with them regarding networks, gain insights about TM future plans. I do get assigned with good and pro installers back when I was a 800Mbps user.

If its true, then its great. Any idea if 5Gbps and 10Gbps speed subscription in future? Is there probabilities on further speed upgrade (free) in future? Not to say win, but who can provide cheapest bidding price.

I agree. They should tackle the corporate or enterprise-based operation before moving to residential users. So, in the meantime, we have to stick with Skyworth or D-Link ONR right; depending on the type of subscription plan?
