Choosing the correct Unifi router (own experience)

Conclusion:[U]

1) If you don't care or never going to use the IPTV provided, TP-Link would be good enough. Relatively cheaper yet decent with good signal strength.
2) If you are watching the IPTV, please avoid TP-Link and get an Asus.

Full story here. [U]
I live in a double storey terrace house. The router provided by Unifi not strong enough to cover the first floor. So I decided to get a new router on my own.

First, I bought TP-Link WR841HP. The signal strength is good. Good enough to cover every corner of my house (both ground and first floor) with stable wifi connection. But the problem is, even though it's Unifi compatible, it doesn't seem to support IPTV. Some channels can only be viewed for like 5 mins then the screen goes completely off without connection. Other channels only show black screen. In short, non of the channels are actually working.

So I called up for Unifi support (I spent 5 days just to lodged a report. On the fifth day it took me 3.5 hours non stop calling and waiting on the line just to speak to a manager. A very frustrating experience). Then after bloody 2 weeks time of waiting, I managed to talk to an Unifi field technician.
His explanation is short and simple. Get an Asus router.

So I bought Asus RT-N12HP. After using for two days, so far so good.
Wifi connection strong and stable. IPTV works perfectly fine.

Islamic Risk Management?

3ping — Mon, 18 May 2015 23:32:38 +0800

Hi all.

I'm completing risk management certification this year and I'm considering to take up a master in finance.
At first i wanted to sign up for master in conventional finance, but after looking at how fast islamic finance is picking up momentum recently, i think i should spend some time and really look into islamic finance.

I have been following updates from Inceif and IBFIM websites for past 2-3 months.
Info shown prospect of islamic finance is very good and promising.
But given that they are prominent institutions and bodies in msia, I wish i could get some second opinion from other parties.
Did some google search online but not so much luck. only very little info found.

so ya, anyone here in currently in risk management/ islamic banking or takaful has relevant info to share? on
1. career prospect and job opportunity
2. prospect of islamic finance and takaful in long term (eg. like 10, 20, 30 years?)
3. salary range

Comment and input from all are welcome.
Thanks!

on a side note. I'm willing to be relocated. (ie. singapore, indonesia, china, middle east etc)
so not limited to msia context only.
