So this issue has been happening more and more frequent recently. Stock TM router with 300mbps speed via speedtest, can stream 4k video easily BUT games wont load at all.

Does anyone know if this is just some connection issues with TM or the router is dying? It is a wifi 6 router (2 years old from TM). It is getting super annoying. The games load fine if I connect with my digi hotspot.

Already reboot the router and see if the situation improve. BTW can opt for after market router la. and if you re-contract, can ask new router

Reboot also the issue will come back eventually. The last reboot I think like only one week ago. Router is DLINK X1860Z.

I have been thinking of buying new router for a while now, either the BE805 or GE800, but GE800 too ex. Deco is a no go because no lan cable for wired backhaul. Just want to confirm if it is the router issue or TM side issue. Later I buy new router and the issue still persists, gg waste money.

Usually those bundled routers are normal specs & works just fine for normal home users. For those heavy usage like Gamers or very high demanding, just changed it.

Note --> You need to know your Unifi Username & Password before replacing it.

Also, high chances Unifi will locked it with router's MAC address. For this, you need to contact Unifi directly & request them to unlock or provide them your new router's MAC Address.


Hope this helps...

Probably the WiFi frequently clashed with another nearby router. Mine clashed with the neighbours so I replaced the stock router and opted for a custom router with custom frequency. Done deal and zero problems.

Some router is just poorly written code in it. The buffer just get clogged and not being flushed timely. Reboot clear the buffer.

Let me spill an insider secret, all the free routers from most ISPs are usually won by the lowest bidder that can meet their requirements

Go figure how good can it be

seriously? never heard of this. I replaced the new router from tm by myself following the video guide. Didnt have this issue, just PPPOE and password. Or does this apply to routers not from TM only?


yuppp

At times Unifi will lock it with MAC but other times it may not.

I know because I "kena" already, but after they unlocked and now replacing the router any time shouldn't be any problems. Just the usual username & password will do the job.

its crap tm router get you own router will work gaming load smooth

haiya....i am on 100mbps business unifi plan with asus router qos enabled.
20-30 device at the same time also no problem.
meanwhile those subscribing 300mbps 3 device at home also complaining slow..
kecian.

Try this, install Cloudflare WARP, psudo-VPN that bypass ISP DNS server
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflar.../download-warp/

There are google secure DNS, and plenty of other secure DNS, Cloudlflare is pretty stable and will not randomly down.

IF Digi hotspot worked for you but not from TM, most likely DNS issue.

hmmm hopefully wont encounter it

ok, surveying for cheap price during sales

is this for devices or the router itself? Because I have tried manually changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in the iOS wifi settings, the issue is still there.

your router does not support encrypted DNS protocol, most basic router will not support
This one is DNS-over-HTTPS (aka DoH) at OS level, Windows 11


There are DLS-over-TLS, DNS-over-WARP (Cloudflare WARP exclusive)
DoH is widely supported, modern OS even iOS and android suppport it

Hey, I bought the BE805. So far, everything looks ok. Range is somewhat subpar coming with 10 antennas. But I have an issue with the 2.4GHz. What setting should I tweak for this? My plan is 300mbps and I expect the 2.4ghz to at least get 200mbps "in front of the router". Now I am getting barely 100mbps, with average to high latency. This is mostly for my old devices and IoT, I expected higher speeds based on the marketing ads.

I do the testing with iPhone 16.

Just replaced it, everything went smoothly. Enter PPPOE username password and the ISP profile. Luckily no issues with the MAC.

Yup, that's expected with 2.4GHz. Interference is getting bad on this frequency

Most router brands are cutting cost on 2.4GHz as well, resulting in worst performance than WiFi 6 routers

Most optimization gonna be on 5GHz and 6GHz

I ended up reverting the settings back to auto, abit better now 100-150mbps.

So far, I think 6GHz still very unstable. If I enable MLO with 5 + 6GHz, speeds are inconsistent and unstable. If I connect to 5GHz only, back to strong and stable speed. What is your opinion on 6GHz?

Do not use MLO, most devices have poor compatibility

During my extensive test lately, most Android devices suffer from slower performance on MLO as it's not well implemented on the firmware and the stability is bad

Windows laptop on Intel BE200 is fine but not 100% perfect, in fact most driver updates are improvement for MLO

I do not have the latest iPhone with WiFi 7 to test

As for 6GHz, only practical if within a same room. 5Ghz is almost guaranteed to be faster once over a wall.

Hence, for WiFi 7 routers, I am focusing more on 2.4/5Ghz performance on my reviews.

I have the iPhone 16 and also bought the BE200 for my desktop. They seem ok but for other devices, I am connecting them to 5GHz.

I have been using the BE805 for a week now, I noticed there are random ping spikes every few seconds. Do you know what is going on? I also play games using wifi on previous TM stock router. Ping is around 20-30ms. But this new router is causing ping to be 40-100ms very unstable. (Nothing to do with LAN or not, not possible to use as well).

My parents have also been complaining that facebook videos (Only facebook!!) keep buffering (despite 300mbps connection) ever since I switched routers. Desperately need a solution for this. Or is this a unifi problem?
