What do you do after purchasing and receiving your brand new VLAN switch that is tailored for Malaysia’s UNIFI High Speed Broadband network?
Firstly, you need a compatible router to establish your LAN network to connect to UNIFI’s Internet gateway. If you already have something with you, go ahead and test it out by connecting it the TL-SL2210WEB as per the cabling diagram printed below.
If you do not have a router yet or your existing router’s PPPOE dialer is found to be incompatible with UNIFI, check out the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND or the Linksys CISCO E2500. These models have been tested and works with UNIFI Broadband.
For high performance routing with capabilities of supporting heavy download and upload traffic, consider wired routers like the TP-Link TL-R470T+ or TP-Link TL-R480T+. These semi-enterprise class routers are beefed up boxes with larger internal processors and memory to handle bigger amount of data packets without breaking down easily. Then pair them with dedicated wireless access points like the TP-Link TL-WA901ND if you need wireless connectivity.
To complete the installation of the new broadband equipment, you will need to have your UNIFI’s PPPOE user name and password ready. These information are required to be inserted into the WAN section of your new or existing routers. If you do not know where to locate your UNIFI user name and password, check out our previous post on this topic by clicking here.
Our multi-box solution are designed to handle UNIFI bandwidth more efficiently compared to stock UNIFI equipment that are provided to you. They are capable of preventing router box overheating and resource overloading, two of the major causes of poor broadband performance in any UNIFI High Speed broadband service.
If the above equipment design is overkill for your basic needs, you can also consider single box replacement from a popular brand; Asus. Some of the Asus all-in-one wireless routers that are compatible with UNIFI broadband includes the Asus RT-N13U, Asus RT-N16 and Asus RT-N56U.
