Hi Sifus
I stayed in a 3 storey house, currently using AC86U at ground floor, able to achieve >500mbps with LAN and 480mbps with wireless. Due to my major activities in 3rd floor, i using an old Asus router (RC12N) as a repeater, which not support AiMesh, speed test barely hit 45mbps.
Would it be a better i buy an AC68U which support AiMesh in order to boost up the speed, not looking forward to 400mbps but at least 300mbps+-
Thank you in advance

QUOTE(pokchik @ Oct 3 2018, 05:41 PM) So your take: Current:-RC12N @ 3rd Floor (Repeater)
-----------------
N/A @ 2nd Floor
-----------------
AC86U @ Ground Floor (Main Router)Your Proposal:-AC86U @ 3rd Floor (Mesh Node)
-----------------
N/A @ 2nd Floor
-----------------
AC86U @ Ground Floor (Main Router)
- Not sure how effective it will be since I'm imagining that the distance between main router to mesh node is quite far (with 1-floor gap in-between). - You probably need something on the 2nd Floor as an intermediate Mesh node instead? How about: AC68U @ 3rd Floor (Mesh Node)
-----------------
AC68U @ 2nd Floor (Mesh Node)
-----------------
AC86U @ Ground Floor (Main Router)Not sure if this can deliver at least 300Mbps to 3rd floor, though (theoretically it should). My proposal is to put 2x AC68U since it's sufficient to deliver your speed with lower cost compared to 2x AC86U. I'm currently using 2x AC86U for my 2-storey house, but I can't vouch on the speed since I'm only connecting with 10Mbps. No issues to get full 10Mbps in either floors though. Other sifus should be able to give better advice, though. Thanks for your advise. Maybe i will try to secure a RC68U during 11.11 in taobao to test how well it will run |

I just changed my LAN cable from BTU/ONU to router (CAT5E to CAT6) but the speedtest drop from the initiall 480mbps to 350mbps, I did change back to the original CAT5E but the speed still not convincing enough
May I know, after i change any LAN cable, any setting shall i update into the router?
