Hi guys, need suggestion for Wifi 7 router at RM600-700? I had used Asus RT-AC86U until recently broken. Hope to find a model that can provide same or better performance.

Thank in adv.

TUF Gaming AX4200 should be good for you.

If top up a bit, can get RT-AX86U.

With that budget, you are choosing between higher end WiFi 6E router or lower end WiFi 7 router.

Unless your Unifi is 1Gbps and above, WiFi 6 is good enough. The bottleneck is at the external link.

Currently using tm provided router, 800mbps. But I game with lan cable, would upgrading to one of these improve my connection?
*
TUF Gaming AX4200 has 1x 2.5Gbps port but that one is for WAN. The LAN ports are 1Gbps.

RT-AX86U has 1x 2.5Gbps too, and you can use it for either WAN or LAN port. If you use the 2.5Gbps port as LAN port, your WAN port will be 1Gbps. The rest of LAN ports are 1Gbps, and LAN port 1 is specifically for gaming.

I have both of them, configured in AiMesh.


This is how the ports in RT-AX86U look like:

By the way, RT-AX86U Pro is the newer version with better hardware components, while RT-AX86U can still be found and selling cheaper than the Pro.

This is how the ports in TUF Gaming AX4200 look like:

(the connected LAN port is yellow, because my TV which connected to it only support 100Mbps LAN)

As for the BE WiFi 7 routers, a glance at RT-BE58U, RT-BE86U and TUF Gaming BE6500 from website:
- RT-BE58U has 1x 2.5Gbps port which can be used for WAN or LAN. The rest are 1Gbps ports.
- RT-BE86U has 1x 10Gbps port which can be used for WAN or LAN. The rest are all 2.5Gbps ports.
- TUF Gaming BE6500 has 1x 2.5Gbps port for WAN, and the rest are also 2.5Gbps ports, for LAN.

If you have 800Mbps WAN line, 1Gbps port for WAN and/or LAN is already more than the 800Mbps cap a the WAN link. But it is good to have 2.5Gbps LAN port and even 10Gbps LAN port, provided your computer's LAN port also support the same high speed (so that you won't get a yellow connection, which is trimmed down due to network card limitation). This is because WiFi 6/6E/7 can go beyond 1Gbps, so you can have more than 1Gbps speed communicating with other WiFi connected devices, by using the 2.5Gbps/10Gbps LAN port (and your computer's network card support that speed).

You guys are using any VPN (other than NordVPN or Surfshark, this type of paid service). I don’t know why some apps, like those from Microsoft or Teamviewer, take a long time to download and sometimes even fail.
*
I still use the free one, and so far so good. However, VPN will limit your Internet speed in the tunnel to less than 200Mbps. But you can set and decide which apps to go VPN and which apps to go direct Internet.

RM 90 for 500 mbps is for 24 months contract.
At the end of contract, do you get to retain the same price at 500 mbps without contract?
*
The agent on the call will clearly mention that:
- Everything in your existing package will stay, including 500mbps, 600 minutes free call
- New 24 months contract will start on the day the rm90 package activated
- Package will activate within 1 week from the call
- Everything in your existing package will stay even after the new contract period ends, including the new price
- You will get Disney+ Hotstar account and password access for 12 months. After 12 months, it will automatically terminate if you don't renew it. There is no automatic renewal. No need credit card info too.
- You cannot downgrade or terminate within contract period, otherwise penalty will impose
- You can upgrade or add add-on options at anytime, no penalty for upgrade

Then the agent will ask: adakah anda faham?
You have to answer: faham

How long does it take to receive the Disney credentials? Will it be emailed or need to open livechat?
*
Within 24 hours after the SWU 5.0 activated.

It is an SMS. Just telling you to download the Disney+ app or go to their website, then login using your phone number that you registered with Unifi. This is to get the login OTP. After that, you can create your Disney+ account using your email. You can select Darth Vader as your avatar too.

I was also met with such a rude answer when I did the same. My contract is over at end Oct and she just said if you wish to terminate She'll go ahead and penalty me for the remaining contract. "Call me back when your contract is over or else". I think TM is getting too many termination request until they got heated up.

The conversation is recorded. You can complain about the rudeness with another ticket.

Now I'm confused. One person is saying 500mbps will soon be private IP, but another person claiming that is false.
Which person saying is true? Broadband contract is for 24 months, so if subscribed to the wrong package, will have to stuck with it for 2 years.
*
Stuck where?

The contract is: cannot downgrade, but anytime can upgrade or buy add-ons.

If you need to upgrade to higher bandwidth, you can always upgrade, even today you got 500mbps 24 months contract, tomorrow you tell TM you want to upgrade to 1gbps, they are happy to upgrade for you without any penalty.

So, no need to think this think that. When it really happens in the future, and you really need the public IP, go ahead and pay more to upgrade to the higher bandwidth package loh. Maybe by that time got free upgrade for existing 500mbps to 1gbps leh? Historically free upgrade happened a few times already.

Go to Astro and subscribe the Astro Fibre 500Mbps RM90 package.

Within a few days, Unifi will call and ask you to stay, then SWU 5.0 will be brought onto the table.

Now you can install UnifiTV 2.0 in any Android box, or in your phone/tablet. The app has a cast button to help you cast its screen to your TV or projector.

You can also access UnifiTV 2.0 with web browser, such as Chrome in your PC.

In short, the Unifi box is no longer needed, as UnifiTV 2.0 can be accessed in multiple ways, similar to Astro Go.

Hi Sifu, for new install, some 3rd party agent is offering 139 for 300mb + free 6 months. How to get better deal? Thanks.

Look for old users who want to move out and transfer their line (perhaps still with contract therefore they dun want to simply just terminate), so that they transfer their old account to you, then you can apply for SWU after the transfer.

You can find such groups in Facebook.

Australia population is slightly less than 30 million. So their population is smaller than Malaysia but their land mass is many times larger.

Australia is also a no man land where transit cost is very high. Malaysia is just next to Singapore, where all submarine cable converge. Look at how many telco here connect to Singapore. It's cheap.

NBN is 100% Nokia gear, from DWDM to OLT to ONU. Panels are all Corning. What do we use again?

Think about it, today you sign up for Maxis, 2 months later you try CelcomDigi, TM is still providing the last mile and indirectly you are still paying them.

Another analogy. Mobile telco don't have contract and you can jump ship anytime. They are cheaper than fiber, yet none of them have forecast or revenue problem. In fact they all look pretty rich to me.

Wait few more years, when the satellite broadband is matured and cost is down...

Hmm... Something strange with B Infinite app today.

I daily check-in to collect BPoints for Caltex petrol.

Today, when connected to WiFi (using Unifi), B Infinite app stuck at splash screen; When phone disabled WiFi and connected using Hotlink Postpaid, B Infinite app works normal. Enable back WiFi, stuck at splash screen again.

Actually UnifiTV is now free for all until December 12.

You can watch all the channels here:
https://unifitv.com.my/epg

The App section on the page needs subscription. For SWU 5.0 you can access to Disney+ Hotstar link in the App section too. The "Play" button should be made available for all the content there, for 1 year.
