Things To Do When You Got Your Unifi TRG212M Wifi Router

trg212mHi Folks!…. me again. Just to fulfilled a request from Hamba Allah that ask me to share what need to be done with the new Unifi TRG212M Wifi Router.

As I mentioned earlier, by default, the wireless router was configured with default settings and most of the security settings was not configured and not secured. Those unconfigured Unifi wifi router will be a wonderful place for people like me to make it as a ‘playground’ hotspots. heheheh!!!!!

So, let me share a little bit on how to make your Unifi  TRG212M wifi router secure and to make it harder for those “unwanted guest”.

BEFORE I PROCEED, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK OK!!!! DON’T BLAME ME IF THERE IS ANY FAILURE HAPPENED TO YOU!!!!!

u1

By using your browser, go to http://192.168.0.1 (by default) to the router administration page. Key-in the Username as admin and just leave it blank for the password. In other words, there is no password needed to login into the administration page.

1. Change the ‘admin’ password

u2

By default the wifi router comes with admin id and no password configured… so.. sendiri mau ingat la when your wifi router without admin password. You can configure it at Management tab >> User Management  then click Edit button.

2. Change the SSID Name & Wifi Security Preshared Key

u3

by default the SSID name is <your-unifi-id>@unifi and Preshared key is only numeric, so people knews that it is a default setting by Unifi and can play around with it. You can change the SSID name and the preshared key at Wireless tab >> SSID Configuration and click Edit Button. Key-in your desire SSID name as shown above.

Note: make sure the Authentication mode is WPA2-PSK/WPA2-PSK and key in yourPreshared Key with a strong alphanumeric key. *By changing this Wifi Security Key – all your wifi clients (PC, Notebook, Ipad, PDA…) need to reconnect and use the new WPA/WPA2 key.

 

3. Enable Anti Attack Mode

u4

In some cases, this feature are already enabled but as a precaution and confirm the Anti Attack Mode is activated you can go to Advance tab >> Anti Attack. Just enable by tick all the boxesexcept Enable Attack Log.

4. Change Wireless Bandwidth Frequency to 20MHz

u5

By default, it was configured with 20/40Mhz. This what I’ve discovered. If the bandwidth frequency is 20/40Mhz, the wifi signal is weak and the distance shorter compared if you set the bandwidth to 20Mhz only. And one more thing, some of the wifi devices such as Apple devices (Ipad, Imac, Ipod.. bla bla bla) are more stable running with 20Mhz only. You can do this at Wireless tab >>Basic.

bubuuuyyyeeeee

        thats all?? camne nk block org dari connect dkt unifi kita…nk block ipaddress depa.. camna camna?? ;)

        saya syorkan buat mac address filtering… instead block yg jahat, allow yg baik….

        maksudnye…. kat mac address filtering tu… register semua devices kita dan block any mac address yg tak kenal….

    Salam.

    Kami baru pasang unifibiz 30mbps jumaat lalu (15/1) dgn router trg212m.
    Premis kami adalah sekolah swasta yang punyai 30 lebih cikgu serta kakitangan .

    Soalan kami,
    Adakah router trg212m mampu ‘supply wireless internet connection’ kepada semua peranti2 telefon cikgu2 dan kakitangan pada masa yg sama? Dalam masa yg sama juga pc sekolah juga turut perlukan wireless internet connection.. Jika ada router yg sesuai untuk kegunaan premis sekolah, boleh Encik cadangkan jenama/model router tersebut?

    Terima kasih.

      Router trg212m boleh support 20-30 users tapi performance Akan berkurangan bergantung kepada jarak dan rintangan persekitaran kawasan.

      Kalau nak tingkatkan performance tu boleh tambah AP atau tukar router yg lebih baik.
      Cadangan saya. Cuba dulu. Kalau puas hati dengan performance tu tak perky buat apa apa sbb 30mbps tu dah cukop utk tampung 30usrs.

      untuk wifi extender…. configure terus kat wifi extender tu…cari satu notebook/pc… cucuk cable kat wifi extender tu dan run setup wizard kat situ.. configure as client untuk SSID router anda… insyaAllah berhasil

      boleh saya tahu tepon model jenis apa…
      biasanya kalu tepon tak dapat connect ni senang aja.. just forget SSID kat dalam tepon tu then reconnect balik… satu lagi make sure tepon tu support WPA/WPA2 with 802.11x

    hi bro, cuma nak tanya, saya pakai unifi 30mbps, semasa buat speed test dengan connect cable dari router ke pc, boleh dapat sampai max 32mbps, tapi bila plug out cable guna wireless dlink test, baru dapat max 12mbps, adakah router trg212m ini tak dapat supply high speed atau kena buat setting?
    kalau tukar ke tp-link router ok ke? pls advise. thanks

      its depends on the wifi interface card kat device gaks bro.. wifi interface banyak jenis… 802.11a/b/g/n/ac……..kalu wifi tu power that support 802.11n or ac, boleh pergi laju….. kalu setakat a/b/g tu tengok keadaan…

      satu lagi tengok gaks distance dan ada halangan ke tak dari device ke router….

        For unifi 30mbps, what mode should use? 802.11n or 802.11bgn for Unifi TRG212M Wifi Router. Thanks.

        The unifi technision change my router mode to 802.11bg when I complaint the speed < 20mbps by using wifi. After the change, the speed even worse than before. I only can get the speed < 15mbps by using wifi and the signal also became week. Made few complaint again, but no further action taken by TM.

        Hope that you can advice me. Thanks.

      ini kene buat fresh setup….
      yang penting kene set WAN PPPoe dengan menggunakan unifi ID and password tu…

      selain drp tu untuk LAN just configure default IP segment range 192.168.0.1/24 aja…

    Assalaam. Saya ada router jenis Maritime ni. Unifi saya 30mb. Tapi kekadang tu, router saya akan disconnect dengan sendiri. Like once/twice in a week, akan DC. Lampu2 led ok je, tak padam. Bila kami reboot, baru ok balik.
    Kekadang tu masa tengah main online PS4, game kena DC tiba-tiba. Walhal PC adik dan ibu saya OK je. Kadang tu, PC dan PS4 kena DC. Macam tak stable.
    Masalah router saya ke atau setting router ni? Mohon beri apa2 jua pendapat. Terima kasih banyak2.

        Asssalam, selamat berpuasa! Terima kasih kerana membalas bro. Saya fikirkan itu juga. Janji bunyinya Unifi boleh selesaikan masalah ni.
        Tapi alhamdulillah lah, akhir2 ni, Unifi saya tak pernah DC pula dah. Pelik. Nak call TM, tak tak call. Akhirnya masalah selesai dengan sendiri. Kira OK lah, main game pun OK, tak macam dulu, DC lah, boleh kata kerap jugalah. Bengang betul. Terima kasih bro kerana balas.
