Just came back from a extended business trip overseas, and was told that TIME has upgraded the plans.
Do I need to reboot the BTU/modem, or just the router to get the higher speed?
Also, is provided DIR-850L capable of supporting over 100Mbps, or do I have to change to something better like the Archer C7?

Next thing, perform LAN connection and see whether your speed can achieve the upgraded speed. Try to perform your Wi-Fi speed, if not satisfied then proceed to buy a new router. You can order D-Link DIR-882 from TIME which is cheaper than outside. Last time I bought TP-Link Archer C9 within the same price range as D-Link DIR-882 as it using AC2600. Thanks.

Quite surprising that AC2600 sold by TIME almost same price like I bought C9 a month ago!

QUOTE(FusionXY @ Oct 7 2018, 02:48 PM) Oops. Didn't read that well. Need to confirm this with TIME CS. Not everyone are eligible. Only 1Gbps user will get the DIR-882 while 100 and 500Mbps get the C1200 for free when you renew the contract. Thanks. There's a catch, if ur contract less than 12 months and u got upgraded to 1Gbps u can't redeem the DIR-882, only if u more than 12 months in contract edi. So new user like me need to buy a new router

By the way, mine still new (Archer C9). So I will use it for another few years to see how. Frankly, 500Mbps is way too enough for me ady, no needed to go 1Gbps but if the price is the same, I don't mind

I can downgrade without penalty and refresh contract. Hope no more speed upgrade after this. If upgrade again. My C9 wanna explode boom! In the future, I think AX. Thanks.

Wait till my C9 kaput first. No point buying new router when the existing still working. If very slow on Wi-Fi means I will downgrade to 100Mbps or upgrade to AC5400X. Hehe. Thanks.
