u got this firmware?
RT-AC58U_9.0.0.4_380_8440-g782ed3e
i also used that firmware compatible with ac1300uhp.

cat 5e is min, cat6 is better... all cables.
cat 5 won't do... the unifi guys used same cable or their own cable?

take note there is antivirus, pc windows matters that somehow may prevent full 800.
read some of the threads... this thing has been brought up a thousand times... "why i cannot get 800".
many reasons... test device, antivirus, kind of test, test to which server, cables, etc.
wifi even harder to get.... more questions...

back in nov, asusmy suggested i use this beta firmware, worked fine.

is there a newer beta or official one?

..

rtac1300uhp... new official firmware since jan:

RT-AC1300UHP_3.0.0.4_380_8457-g43a391a.trx

works good.

i am not very sure but for these 3 routers, the current firmware and the one suggested by blacktubi shud work fine.
AC1300UHP, RT-AC58U and RT-AC55UHP

take serious note u can't get 800mbps for every device becos it is about the device u test/work with.

pc's and laptops in particular - they have firewalls and antivirus.

try with other devices rated gigabit, ethernet, u should get 830, 850!

i just saw this in the store:

AiMesh AC1900 WiFi System (RT-AC67U 2 Pack) - rm10xx.

anyone using these?

how well does 5ghz work for router 1, 2?

assuming:

.. 800 mbps.
.. router 1 (main) grdflr, router 2 wireless upper floor, opposite diagonal 40ft away.
.. assuming devices are common ones with 5ghz - smart tv, tablets, android boxes.

.. what max speed can i expect if device cable connected to router 2?
.. what max wifi speed can i expect at grdflr, upper flr?
.. can i expect good coverage (>200mbps) at all corners with these 2 meshed?

yes, i understand that.
hoping some user has similar variables like mine, give some insight.
right now, i am using rtac1300uhp as main with rtn12hp as repeater upstairs.
ethernet, grdfloor wifi, all ok, happy enough.
it is upper level with repeater, the worst position for a device, i get only 50-60mbps.
usable but wud like to get closer to 200mbps.
but this is 2.4ghz router used as lossy repeater; 5ghz mesh shud be much higher.

thanks for yr review, very useful.
from the results, i wud guess i can expect 150-200 for the worst spot, rest should be fine.
will read up a bit more.
appreciate any further comments and pointers, e.g. any overheating, easy to set up...?
TQ!

yes.

i used it when i had 100mbps, excellent - ethernet or wifi.

u gotta tell yr area.

if "KL", which part of KL?

Yes. Becos i m also experiencing nightly disconnects in shah alam.

I dun think it is router problem, more likley unifi issues.

Doesnt happen too often.... so, will see.

If i remember correctly....

Rtn12hp is rated 300mbps max for ethernet.

Wifi, it is a N router, 2.4ghz only, max 50mbps.

If u want better wifi, u need to upgrade to AC wifi, 5ghz, may get close to 300mbps, depends on what u buy.

i'm no a big user of routers.... just change one when i had to.

i am using RTAC1300HP, about 2 years now, rm4xx.

it is not good enough for my 800mbps, but i think it will suit yr 300mbps in a DSL.

do search this router.... others may recommend u some other but i all boils to the budget and what u can live with.

hi, asusmy.

i checked back my last posts here... 5.5 yrs ago!

currently using RTAC1300UHP, no mesh.

unifi 800mbps, double storey house, longest distance about 60ft diagonal.

average 3-4 devices at any time, max 8; most are not new, 2-8 years old.

for last 5 years, i hv been pleased with the router, good.


lately, i am using wifi upstairs quite a bit more.

for pc, android tv, entertainment boxes.... netflix 4khdr, disney+H uhd, etc.

it's OK overall but sometimes, the signal gets too weak, disruption.


at this time, what current model and setup wud u recommend?

not in a rush as i am planning to change a couple of devices to new first.

what else shud i be mindful when buying new devices?

TQVM!

Ok, thanks, will check it out.

hi again!
there is news with the recent unifi speed upgrades that i will get upgraded from 800mbps to 1 or even 2 gbps next year.
is the ASUS TUF-AX4200 still a great choice for 1 or 2 gbps?
or wud u recommend something else?
usage is not heavy but i try to avoid mesh if possible.
10.10 may see a good discount bringing it to <rm600.
of course, i can wait till the upgrade happens, see what new equipment TM provides or sell.
thanks for comment.
