Becoz wiring will be messy lol.
And i will have to mount it on wall or ceiling.

Now its placed together with BTU, Hypptv, dect phone, everything at TV area.

Anyway, my point is, isnt it the signal should be stronger than the cheapo unifi router?
Isnt that is 1 of the strong selling point?
If i knew, i wouldnt have change it and just relocate the huawei router.

I'm from Penang and ping to the nearest station.

Package: VIP10

Download: 9.61 - 9.7mbps
Upload: 10 -13 mbps
ping response: 11ms

I saw others user can get more than 10mbps for download with less ping response time..
Not sure any settings can improve this or it is rely on the cabling

Hi WaCKy,

The RT-N66U coverage range is over 330m². I take 330m² as an example, which is around 3552ft².

The radius for 3552ft² is around 34ft with no obstacle and full bar.

If your room are too far away from the router and there is obstacle, the signal will be dropped.

In the meantime, you can try updating the firmware to the latest and try fixing a channel at the ASUS router.

Thank you

wifi signal may be dropped due to your house layout and the stuff in between you and router. if you are connect your pc with wifi. maybe can use powerline lan cable.

I tried to update firmware and after restarted i try to check firmware again and it still prompt got newer update.
Is that normal?
Current firmware is 3.0.0.4.374_720 is this the latest?

Hi audiocool,

The speed mostly depend on the server and the . You can have a look at the Post #3212.

Sometime I can get the download speed until 32MB for 30MB package Internet.

Thank you

Hi Sifus,

I need some help/recommendation here! Currently, I'm using Maxis fibre 10Mbps package. The technicolour router provided by them is a pure joke. Wireless disconnection everyday and takes like few hours to to enable again. I kinda fed up with that piece of junk and I need some recommendation here!

Requirement:

Able to support up to 7 wireless connections
Good coverage
2.4ghz band is enough.

Thank you!

Hi EdwinCodec,

You can have a look at below models, all can support the Maxis Fibre but not the Maxis ASTRO IPTV yet.

You can refer to below video on how setup go about especially the VOIP phone if you are using it.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply! Comparing these models with the N56U, any difference ya? I'm looking for a good wireless coverage for a two storey bungalow and durability! Btw, does the N56U supports Maxis IPTV?

Thank you

Hi EdwinCodec,

RT-N56U is a Dual Band router, the coverage area for these models is over 330m²(line of sigh with good signal).

I am not sure how big is your bungalow, so I unable to tell you which one can cover your whole house.

I can provide you information which ASUS router provide best coverage area. Router with AC WiFi standard provide better coverage compare to N WiFi.

And all our router not able to support Maxis ASTRO IPTV yet.

Over 400m²
RT-AC66U
RT-AC68U
RT-AC3200

Over 450m²
RT-AC87U

Thank you

Thanks for the quick response! Also, I would like to know what's the difference between routers that come with anthena and routers that do not come with Athena just like the N56U

PS: What are the routers that u recommended support VOIP?

Guys, how does simultaneous dual band router works? Need to set up anything ma? Or automatically for gaming it will run on 5.0Ghz and for web browsing it will use the 2.4Ghz?

you only can connect either one.. 2.4ghz or 5 ghz. not both at the same time.

router offer both simultaneous . is it can transmit and receive 2.4ghz and 5ghz band at the same time..

PC / phone cant do that. PC/ phones can only connect to either one . not both at the same time.

I turned on AiDisk feature and tried to copy out files via ftp to my laptop but it takes about 10 mins for 1gb file.
Is that normal?
Also, im using a 16gb thumb drive but i checked the disk status it only has about 9gb free space, in other words about 6gb taken up by the system?

Oh I see..so when I wan go gaming i just connect to the 5.0Ghz then. How far is the coverage? I put the router in living room and I am sitting in living room to game as well.
