Yeah, this would be good.

With my AC68U running 24/7 (under a ceiling fan), my router's temp was always reading 89C.

I took the advice of a fellow forummer and attached a laptop cooler fan kit to the back of the router. The router runs at 65C now IIRC.

Not sure if you'd consider it, but let me share my story.

My AC68U was also quite hot to the touch. I have it operating 24x7 in the living room with the ceiling fan running. Some time back, I attached a cheap laptop cooler to the router to help cool it down.

No issues till now.

Nice! I should get something similar to this trendy laptop cooler you have, for my Time Fibre GPON and Edgerouter-X.

hi asus,

seeking your suggestion if i need to change router and if so, which is best choice.

i hv been using rtn12hpb1 for >4 years now, extremely pleased with it.

i recently changed 2 lan cables to cat6.

wifi is impt, from one corner to another, longest distance is almost 60ft (and yes, i can get almost full speed).

i should be moving from unifi 50mbps to 100 next week.

.. will the existing router be able to deliver optimal performance?
.. i know my router is only 2.4ghz but if i change to dual, i m concerned if 5ghz can cover 60ft..?
.. if better change, will cheaper ac1300uhp do or go for something higher like ac86u?
.. i do not see my needs expanding too fast at this time.

thanks for help.

does that mean i will not be able to get full 100mbps for wifi?

i do not have many walls and metal structures for wifi coverage.

yes, i m concerned that 5ghz can take higher speed but can't cover the distance - that's no good.

can't get the best of both?

as it is, i can get full 50mbps.

ok, thanks, i follow.

but what about the wifi coverage?

if a dual band with 5ghz can't cover a certain distance well, will that mean same speed but little getting thru = no good?

alright, i will first test it with existing router, see how it goes.

if not satisfied, will get a new router.

appreciate your comments.
any other comment, welcome and thanks!

Not sure if TM upgraded their system but that's possible in the past.

Ah okay. Thank you for the clarification.

Hahaha bro, how did he even get your PPPoE username and password?

Good review bro. It only seems suitable to be used for AP though, as it is very basic in my opinion.

Good Review Bro, you did it again 

Good morning guys. I need some suggestions: 1300UHP vs 68U.

My house is 2 storeys intermediate, Unifi plan 300Mbps. I plan to put the router at the ground floor. Which of the device above is able to give better WiFi coverage until first floor to fully utilize the 300Mbps? Thank you.
