1 of the major isssue is you set it up in a room... If u wanna have good wifi performance the best is to set up in open area like living hall.

An analogy is, you set up a set of speakers inside your room but when you go outside, the volume (wifi signal) drops a great amount. You can get a good set of speakers (better router), or send the audio signal straight to your room (home plug).

This is not limited to TM's router. Even my gf using a good TP-Link router for her Streamyx, set up inside a room, even with door open cant get good performance in another room also. N the distance less than 15 meter! -.-

Whats your budget bro? N since you hav already set up the main wifi in your room, the repeater might not pick up the signal as strongly as u would want it to also. I think best is to use home plug...

If you wanna test how much delay your wifi is causing, you can:

TM can pull further, just that they will charge u a bomb if exceed their 'standard' length.
My installation also, the contractor was rather lazy to guide the wire about another 5 - 10 meter to my ideal location. Give excuse the fiber cable cannot bend too much. When i have seen other ppl house, the cable can run like snake from the back yard all the way to the living hall no problem -.- But it's his loss cause i wanted to tip him about RM20 if he did a good job

Lan cable could do, but really long ones not that cheap too or messy. I hav frens running Aztech or Tp-Link home plug. The ping for games is quite okay because homeplug only causes delay about 2 - 15ms. Before homeplug, in rooms the ping to router can be as high as 50ms and sometimes packet loss.

Only worrying thing about homeplug is if your house electrical grounding not good and got lightning strike, there is always probability that it might fry the homeplug n your device together. Altho it's quite 1 in a million occurance, there is still risk.

There are also UniFi ready routers, tp-link WR1043ND for example. Cheap n solid with really good range...

If got budget combine all together n u will get solid performance throughout the house

Good luck bro

Cant see your pict, but i assume it's rj45 network cable from your BTU to Router...

This guy sells cat5e RJ45 cables, bought from his shop before 10m.
Longest he has in the thread is 20m, should suffice but if u need longer just pm him i guess, since it did mention 'customizable' cable.

Still cant see that pict, try searching garage sales network section, saw some fiber optic cables b4 but cant find it currently.

Won't recommend it cause you will need tools, proper cutters and connectors, plus 3m of cap ayam raw optical cable alone should cost at least RM50...
