Use a wired connection. This should give you the advertised speed.

What your client devices support do matter. If they don't support 5GHz N/AC, then you'll be stuck on 2.4GHz band which is sensitive to interference from other 2.4GHz wifi networks and at times even from bluetooth, wireless mice/keyboards etc.

I'm not familiar with Time stock routers as I always use my own router, even from the old Streamyx days.

For a 1200sqf home, I think any reasonably priced router with external antennas should help improve wifi coverage and stability. I am using an Asus RT-AC68U with my Time 500mb connection - an expensive investment but boy does it deliver!

I have 5GHz wifi all over my 1200sqf condo unit, 250-350mbps in the living room (where my router is) and 100-200mbps in other rooms. I can even get 50-100mbps outside at the lift lobby. Stable and speedy. I have 2 non-AC clients (work laptops) and about 12 AC clients at home. My remaining 1 wired client (media center PC) gets the full 500mbps.

Agreed. I had an AV600 tp-link pair with gigabit ethernet ports that gave me 200-300mbps of network performance from living room (router) to study room (PC).

The newer AV1200 and AV2000 models may be even better.

2-3 years back it was RM219 I think.

I have sold it off because my Edgerouter-X router + Asus AC68U (AP mode) gives me better wifi-AC speed to my study room PC (USB 3.0 AC1200 dongle) minus the wires now.

What are the advantages of using IPv6 on Time?

Thanks for sharing your experience with the Tenda. So value is not just about low price

Is the n18u better than the n66u? I had the n66u before my ac68u and I remember that the n66u was just as stable and strong as my current ac router, if less speedy due to lack of AC support.

I've had other routers before, dlink/tplink/netgear/linksys but I keep going back to Asus..

Ha ha me too..

No. GD is working fine here.

Autodebit supports Amex.

Tenda AC6 also has no gigabit ethernet support.

Same speed as your download speed.

Capped to package speed.

I am using tp-link archer t4uh (ac1200) with my windows 10 pc. Very stable and good speeds connected to my ac68u router one room away ~ 8-10m.

Am thinking to upgrade to the t9uh (ac1900) soon

Tenda is reportedly good too. Btw, archer t4u is different than t4uh (which I have).

OK great.

If you don't care about wifi (since you already have an AP), I would recommend a wired router like the edgerouter-x.

I'm using it with my ac68u. Solid router and handles my 500mb Fibre connection well. I also have the microtik hex3 but the simplicity of ubiquiti's edgeos on the edgerouter works better for me.

Tanjung Bungah (Penang) OK.

For AC I think it depends on the client too. My AC68U router is a 3x3 MIMO unit with theoretical max of 1300mbps on AC wifi..

On my 500mb Time connection, the max I've gotten on AC was 350+mbps.

My statement date is every 28th.

Nope.

While you wait for others to feedback, my bill is usually in my inbox in the first week of the month.
