Just some light rain earlier then suddenly lightning struck and my Unifi router no longer has power. Already tested with another power supply unit with same voltage and amp, confirmed the router unit no longer turns on. The router is the new type, which combine the ONT (Optical Network Terminal) and the LAN ports in the same unit, so it cannot be bought from any shop. Previously when ONT and router were separate unit, ONT belonged to TM and could be replaced for free, while router had to be replaced using own money. Now TM is using combined unit, how to replace? Can I just bring the router/ONT to TM point and ask them to give me a new one?

Is it Dlink brand?

They have bad reputation for lighting isolation with their power adapters ever since Streamyx days with their DSL modems.

Many years back I used Dlink ADSL modem same thing modem went bad several times after bad storms.

This is the reason why average people prefer 5G over fibre now not just in Malaysia.

Many other countries such as US, Japan, even HK especially small families and bachelors.

No contracts commitments and easier to manage.
