but also takut to straight buy one hAP AC because it costs rm550+.. what if the coverage also not good..then defeat the purpose also.. any shop that can let u try first.. lol

both mikrotik and ubiquiti APs are powerful, have good coverage, but no point if your device is not powerful enough to talk back.

My experience, with Asus rt-ac86u, tplink- c7(bought from usa), tplinkc5(tm provided) and numerous other modems and wireless router... I can tell you this much, there is no one router that can successfully penetrate 2 brick walls and still maintain good signal for 5ghz, for 2.4ghz, you might get 50mbps if your lucky.

Thats it.

If you are serious about getting >500mbps on every floor and 90% of the area including toilets, where you need to watch Yanxi while pooping.... Please get a mikrotik router, mikrotik poe switch plus multiple mikrotik CAP AC(access point for each room ) plus spend money or DIY cat 6 or greater cable.
I am now working hard saving money so I can get the RB4011(probably release in 1 year, plus CAP AC(or AC2) in couple of years. Damage will be close to rm2500(roughly calculated), I already got 70% of the cabling done partially DIY, partially done by my electrician.
For you, I recommend at least 1 Access point per floor.... concrete floor with the iron rebars are not exactly very penetrable for WIFI signal much less for 5ghz signal which is difinately needed.

Another thing, you need to upgrade your phone, notebook, computer to the latest that enables MIMO, gigabit connection ect. 1st generation client phone wireless AC is very shitty.... will keep disconnecting one. Dont bother connected wirelss AC with those early AC devices. even my Huawei P9, the wireless AC is the shittiest thing ever.

I got a recent xiaomi that did better that it.
That said. I am quite spoiled with the asus rt-ac86u. I like the AI protection, the multiple VPN connection that I am running, dns filtering, multiple guest networks. I may never upgrade to the mikrotik(but it is a dream). I think single device wise, it is good, I can even connect wirelss AC to xiaomi tv box from upstairs where the router is to down stairs where the tv box is. But dont expect all device to connect that well, thats why I want to get multiple Access point, and manage it centrally and disconnected low signal and so the client can reconnect to a stronger signal.

you can replicate a lot of that on mikrotik or mikrotik + a linux. For instance the AI protection can be replaced with an IDS/IPS on perhaps the asus thinkerboard or something else, even a cheap PC will do but its gotta have double your total WAN bandwidth so if you are on TM 800Mb/s that means you'll need 2Gb/s (thankfully 1Gb/s ethernet is full duplex) as TMt 800Mb/s has 200Mb/s upload only. you can do more multi VPN on mikrotik as well, DNS filtering, multiple guest networks and more.

I think my pc are spectre and meltdown free, or at least that's what InSpectre scanner showed me. My desktop is i5-4690k and I also ran speedtest on my i7-8750H laptop also yield the same speed. The test was ran using cat 6 straight from Gr3 (and cat6 from modem to Gr3)

DHCP Client showed as bound if I ticked just request prefix but went to endless searching when I select address and prefix.

Also, ND shows bridge1 as interface while in KLSeet guide interface in ND showed as ether2-master-local. (I use the same naming as the guide so wonder where to change the interface in ND).

PPPOE and VLAN will slow down your speeds, so the wirespeed claim of the HEX doesnt work because while NAT is accelerated, PPPOE isnt so the 480Mb/s you get is very similar to the speed rating given for accelerated VPN by the router.

Noted, thanks.

i would suggest netgear's smart switch. Whenever someone asks for PoE the 1 rule i always mention is that it needs to be a managed device, because a dumb switch wont tell you whats going on and where your problems are (like what volts, amps, watts, or if its working). The ability to report a status is something i consider very important for PoE, otherwise you might as well just get an injector instead.

no such thing.

fasttrack will allow the device to achieve higher throughput, as the established and related packet can bypass the firewall rules. check the below video, it provide a good explanation about this feature.

but when you are using PPPOE that does add load, so you will not get wirespeed throughput. Most ISPs do.

best can be misleading in the manner mentioned. I have the CCR1036, its not the best, im ready for 10G internet without using any hardware acceleration, but TM still hasnt turboed me and im still paying 300+ every month stuck at 100mb/s.

I always say to get the best within your budget, and to ensure it is fit for purpose. Whats important is that it does what you want at the speeds you want. Many simply buy mikrotik and configure it like a home router rather than using the wealth of features that it provides.

Set ppoe dialer on different port that working

Considered lightning strike you can't repair those burn LAN port RIP bro

you can actually if it was fused. Some electronics do use SMD fuses which if you have the equipment and right fuse to replace it can just repair it yourself and get it working, but thats only if there is a fuse and its blown but the rest of the board and chips are all ok
