QUOTE(kmrdeva @ Apr 20 2015, 03:03 PM) Generally happy Time user here too. On my 100Mbps plan, I can get an average of 90 or so Mbps with multiple runs of Speedtest.net. Only if connected via cable to my Asus RT-N56U router. Time Fibre user since Dec 2013. No router issues here because I have been using my own Asus router all this time. Definitely right decision

QUOTE(Amy09 @ Apr 20 2015, 03:09 PM) im new here, u just use 1 hardware? or 2?  The Time-provided modem is still there. I believe this Huawei modem thing is called the ONU. I have 2 Time-provided routers with me, a Linksys E1200 received in 2013 when I first signed up for Time, and a Linksys X3500 received when I upgraded to the 100Mb plan. I prefer to use my own Asus RT-56U router, though. In short, my answer to you is 2 hardware

I am new user... You can see my signature on HW that I use... tplink... optional to Asus router. Based on network review, it is on par with latest asus Ac68U. Some win some left behind. Average DL throughput can go 201++ Mbps, while asus AC68U 202Mbps for wireless AC. If time provide 300Mbps speed, we might need to change back to wire instead of WIFI as WIFI cannot catch up thus fast speed

router plus you need client receiving part...
This is a total near to 1k solution...
If want cheap, cable will do. If you don't mind the messy cable...
But if you get the normal package.... The default router should be ok, as it will go average to 48Mbps....

There are also lower priced Asus routers, try asking in the Asus thread. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2651405

another optional choice...
Mi router!!! AC1167, price range RM130++ I think
For client site, I still prefer the Asus PCE AC68, like the external antenna RM350++. Optional should be USB3 dongle, but max AC1200 speed only RM80++.

what la, beside router you also need a PCI card AC or USB wifi AC connect to your PC.
If you use HP, there will be a build in 5GHz WIFI
