Hi All

I am looking for a Wifi6/AX PCIe wireless network card for a desktop computer but not using the Intel AX200 chip. There are a lot of Wifi6/AX PCIe cards for sale in Lazada but they are using the Intel AX200 chip.

Are there any Wifi6/AX PCIe wireless network cards not using he Intel AX200 chip?

Does heavy rain affect fibre connections?

It was raining heavily 2 days ago, almost the whole day. When I got home from work my home has no internet access.

My huawei modem power LED and LAN1 LED are green (LAN1 is where I plug in the network cable from the Asus router), LOS and PON LED are not on.
My Asus router internet LED is also off. Usually it is red when there is no internet connection.

Power off the 2 devices and power on again about 2 hours later. Now on the huawei the power and LAN1 LED are on, but LOS has a blinking red LED. On the Asus router the internet connection LED is red. Waited another hour and power off and power on the device. The results are the same. Left the devices as it is till morning.

In the morning, I again switched off the modem and router, wait 5 minutes and power them on. Now things are better, has internet access.

So does rain affect fibre connection? If rain does get into ISP fibre boxes by the road side or telephone pole, will it affect the connection?

Hi [@Maxis]

How do you get the new feature "Test my Home WiFi" on the Maxis App to work?
Already downloaded the latest version of the Maxis app onto my handphone, chose my Maxis Fibre account, but there is no button to test my Wifi.

My handphone is connected to the router via Wifi. Any clue how to get it to work?
