Hi everyone, I have a question regarding second router.

I've moved to a new home and relocated my unifi. The house is 2 storey and the wifi coverage upstairs is bad. My phone is disconnected from wifi (2.4hz) most of the time.

My budget is cheapest as possible since i only need the internet for social media browsing. I am thinking to buy a secondhand router (Fiberhome AX1800, similar like current router) for upstairs since the connection point is provided by the developer.

Is this method valid? since i saw some postings on Carousell saying that the fiberhome cannot be as second router.

Instead of pay with ringgit, you pay with your time and brainspace to learn =)

Technician came and configure his Telekom combo router and modem , at first few round still not able to get the  full upload speed.  Then he was asked to hard reset his combo device and reconfig, and test again also not getting full upload speed. Only a round 280mbps is the max can get.  Then he called again to Telekom and they did a hard reset on Telekom end and eventually the upload speed is 420mbps which is ok. But when plug back into my Asus gt-ax11000 the upload speed was only 200mbps. 

Based on technician, if using Telekom supplied combo device, Telekom can "tag" the device at their end so ensure speed is ok. I don’t understand what this means. In directly, are we not supposed to use our own router in order to get the full upload speed? Btw, my down load speed is 940mbps and it is fine.

It was working all the while with my 1gbps plan. So how do you resolve the issue? I am not gonna use the crappy combo device.

So your case could be due to the black dlink in bridge mode? Mine also using same black dlink as bridge.  I called 100 again and they said will escalate to technical team to call me in 24 hours time. Do keep me posted what’s your result when you open the case again.  Btw, you can pm me where can share case number.  Use it to tell tm that’s this issue is common and should fix it.

What's your black dlink firmware version? Tried upgrading to v2.0.6?
Speed drop on bridge mode is a known firmware bug.

The speed drop is fixed in v2.0.3 itself so it must be other problem already.
Since your old ONU works, why not just use it? The extra 100Mbps download speed is really that significant for you?

Disable max payload in pppoe config if using cisco. I mean untagged the vlan 500 or disable MRRU if enabled by default. I'm not familiar with mikrotik however.

@neekun
I think ur upload speed problem maybe similar with my attached photo where it should be 800/200 not 800/100. The 800/100 result was just same if using whatever brand/mode/onr/ont.. 😄 . From

But your upload speed is ok. Only download speed slow. Mine is download speed 950mbps but upload is only 150mbps.

Btw I noticed the mtu is 1480. Mine is 1492. Any idea what should be the correct values. Thanks.

How about MikroTik RB4011 Ethernet 10-Port ?

Alredy try after after factory reset ur black dlink? Where OMCI mode back to default.

If bridged dlink use with other router than mikrotik, can get lan 940Mbps? Me either zte onu or bridge mode dlink white or fiberhome HG6145F3, I can get my 800Mbps with SR120-A.

old zte onu + mikrotik speed?

old zte onu + SR1041F, SR120-A speed?

bridge dlink 1 + dlink 2 speed?

bridge dlink 2 + dlink 1 speed?

forget 1 item.

old zte onu + dlink can get 940Mbps?

Told Telekom also about it. But that they are not responding on that. The case keeps escalate to technician to go on site instead of checking at their back end.

Conclusion is suspecting Asus router firmware bug?? Need to check with Asus.

I enjoyed using Mikrotik, all make sense! my RB5009 since 2021 been stable till this day!
