Just upgraded from 10mbps to 30mbps. Previous 10mbps was consistently getting 9-10mbps. Which is good.

With the newly upgraded 30mbps (same stock TM router), I get 18-22mbps via wifi.
Remembered that a friend said he got 18mbps via wifi, after he tried with wired LAN, he can get 30mbps consistently.

So I tried mine with LAN cable too and it worked! ... getting 31mbps consistently. Lucky!
*Tested on both TM Unifi Speedtest and Speedtest.net

Now I'm wondering what should I do to get at least 27mbps++ on wifi .... rather lazy to change the wifi router.

here are my pics :

wifi router and modem (nothing changed since my 5mbps --> 10mbps --> 30mbps) :

Thanks everyone for the replies and feedback's. Yup I'm also aware of signal interference/wifi congestion and antenna issues. I think I have tried what I can to reduce the signal interference. Hence, I come down to wifi router not good enough for my use on 30mbps. hehe. tongue.gif
Had a family member also same issue as mine.

On wireless, it works both ways. Not only you need a good router, e.g. a high-power router from Asus is preferred.
But also, the wireless interface of your device (phone, laptop, etc.) must also be good.

I myself am using Asus RT-N12HP but could never get 30Mbps. The best I got was about 20Mbps, and particularly due to the following reasons:

1) Interference from neighboring access points
2) Poor wireless interface on my laptop, phone, etc.

If changing router does not help, you may want to consider an external USB wireless interface for your laptop.

However, best of all use LAN cable, if that is not feasible, consider HomePlug + LAN cable combo.

You need to first get rid of as many network interferences as possible, starting with the position of the router & that DECT phone. Both need to have quite some distance away from each other. Then about routers, I get there's not much cash & cheaper would be better. However, we are talking about a router here. A device that handles and routes all network connections. Get a really good one (not necessarily the best/most expensive), not just a cheap one cuz it'll serve you better and for much longer than your TM contract. So evaluate your current network setup, devices & plan for the future as well.

Thanks.
I'm using using Channel 6, 20/40MHz bandwidth on Wifi 802.1b/g/n (auto).
Not so many wifi signal at my place. Even during no other wifi around, the speed is like this too.
All my devices/smartphones are at least Wifi N, except one Note5 which is Wifi AC supported.
All 6 devices connected to wifi at all times. But only one or two is streaming youtube and doing some light surfing. The rest is just idle/connected. blush.gif

i hv same router and same problem as urs, on LAN, i get 30mbps consistently, but on wifi devices (phone), sometimes ok, sometimes not. (around 15-30 mbps)
but i dont care since my wifi devices mostly use for light usage,fb, etc. at least 10mbps is  good enough for those usage.

but all my high  usage devices on LAN ( NAS, ps4, desktop).

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, kinda annoying because you know that you are paying for the '30mbps' and not 20mbps or so ... haha. tongue.gif laugh.gif

I'm using ASUS RT-N12....Very happy with its performance.....Considering its price of RM160 when I bought it and it is sufficient enough to provide very good Wifi coverage in my 2-storey terrace house (Router is placed at the centre of the house, near the staircase...).

The ASUS RT-N14 UHP with its 3 antenna (9db gain) are also very good....The RT-N12 has 5db gain......The higher the gain, the stronger the Wifi signal.....

Position of the router in your home also plays a very crucial role to ensure optimum performance.

Cool. Will look into it. Seems like there are several models with "Asus RT-N12***/RT-N14***" naming too.
Thanks for the reply. thumbup.gif
