Sorry how much is this cheap router you all talking about?

See service start date, count 2 years from there.

Sorry how much is this cheap router you all talking about?

It's RM199. But all units has been sold out
Lazada also already sold out

The price will go back to RM399

But at RM399, it still beats the other models around this price range, just not as affordable.

After 9 months of using Xiaomi Nano router as AP, I will bid farewell to it and replace it with Huawei WS880 tomorrow.

Can I know if I can give the Nano router to my sister who is using Streamyx now and will change to UniFi soon once it is available at her area, can she use it as a repeater? Her house is a double-storey semi D and router is placed at upstairs. Sometimes the signal is not so strong at downstairs so I was thinking to suggest her to do something for her downstairs, can this be done?

Yes she can. It is relatively easy to set up as well.

Oh, that's great! Do you have any guides for this or how can I Google? Just Google repeater or something?

Just press the tutorial button and it will guide you through it. Easier than you think

anyone experiencing bad latency these days? I tried pinging google i get 1k ping all the time :'(

No issue here.

   

submarine cables didnt break righhhttt  

Nice, I can't tell on my iPhone, that's why I always have separate SSIDs.

Maybe time to take a step back and see what's going on. Suggest you reset the router, configure from scratch with 2.4Ghz only (or 5GHz only) and test again. If still problem, maybe router hardware fault. Could be just a loose antenna cable. Happened to me before.

The specs is actually more identical to ASUS RT-AC68U

There are only 4 differences between WS880 & RT-AC68U
The rest of them are the same

RAM:
RT-AC68U - 256MB
WS880 - 128MB

Antenna:
RT-AC68U - Upgradable external antennas
WS880 - Non-upgradeable internal antennas

USB Port:
RT-AC68U - 2 Ports (1xUSB 2.0 + 1xUSB 3.0)
WS880 - 1 Port (1xUSB 3.0)

Wireless Speed:
RT-AC68U - Up to 1900Mb/s
WS880 - Up to 1750Mb/s

But for the price of RM199, it's more than worth it
Better buy now before the price returns back to RM399

The dual core broadcom processor & huge coverage over standard UniFi routers (even beat some 3rd party routers) makes this router a huge bang for the buck

What brand router is this  WS880 and where to get it for RM199.

Huawei WS880
Previously sold at Sri Computers for RM199 for stock clearance but all units has been sold
Original price were RM399

Some people said you can still buy it in Lazada for RM249, not sure if it's true or not
