Hi,
My unifi had been upgraded to Turbo 500mbps. I replaced the previous router to Tenda AC1900 but during speedtest – the speed is only up to 98++mbps. Any special setting for Tenda? I have called TM100 last two week but until now they still not come back to me.
Tenda routers have quite terrible firmware. Can you try a different Ethernet cable?
Hello,
My unifi speed just upgrade to 300mbps. I’m using a Asus AC1200HP. I have connected to the router to a Lan PCI Gigabit card but seems it does not spike to 300 or at least 200 plus it is only 90 plus. What could be the issue. The router firmware is 3.0.0.4.380.8352. Thank you
Do you mean the RT-AC1200G+ ?
Any issues with using Singapore ASUS RT-AC1200G+ in Malaysia Unifi? Thanks
Nope.

Hi, the router WAN port is limited to 100Mbps. You need a better WiFi router.
You can consider RT-AC1300UHP.

You should replace the L7 and not the alcatel lucent. Make sure you have the right username and password and follow our guide.
