Wifi 2.4ghz?
What router?

what is LINK speed?

just checked... 72.

bingo!

i think that is the prime reason why many can't get full 100mbps with 2.4 while some others can.

i tried all my devices, upstairs, downstairs... realize that some devices can receive better than others under same set of conditions.

i find this tplink c1200 router very poor for old devices using 2.4ghz.

and while ping test shows great results with 5ghz, actual streaming seems to be not very stable - reminds me of the old orange dlink one!

Yes... my samsung tab s2 android7 can get good wifi speed at 2.4ghz.

5ghz, maximum speed even at 50ft.

Powerful hardware!
Think u r right... hardware limitations.

For pc, will a 5ghz wifi adaptor help much?

Quick quick call 100, even sundays!

I think they now relax a bit, offer that to more 50mbps people, even without sms invitation.

U will likely get the tplink ac1200.

U will most likely box it 24 hours after testing, revert to yr asus.

Yes.

just to share my exp...

i think not... likely not about "t"... something else is not right.

i did some heavy "t" yesterday and today, speed stays the same after that, no problem.

it was via ethernet, not wifi.

using old n cheap asus rtn12hp.

get only 95mbps since it is not gigabit.

but it's very stable, very reliable, same as it has been last 4 years with 30, 50 mbps.

i get up to 11MBps with ethernet torr.

wifi... another story... not so good.

using ipv4. ipv6 disabled.

will monitor, see if any change.


am looking at new asus router, maybe ac1300uhp.

if u know the subject, it depends on many factors... that's why i said "up to".

anyway, this is a bit of a taboo subject, will not do details here.

what if u use 5ghz on asus ac68 same distance, yr iphone?

tq. i ask to get more info on top of my own tests before i buy new router.
see which variable matters most for wifi - router, 2.4/5ghz, or old/new devices.
think so. unless u r <5ft away, 50mbps is just about the best.
device sensitive also.
my new devices can get up to 55 at 50ft, pretty constant; others... 10, 20...!!
new devices can do much better, 2.4 or 5.
old ones... no good.

hi, many users must be like me now... on unifi 100mbps but not sure how best to improve performance.

.. unifi tplink ac1200 no good, unstable, etc...
.. mix of old and new devices.
.. mix use of ethernet and wifi.
.. average double story house... 2000-3000sgft.

can u comment:

.. what cost effective router will u suggest overall? i like asus... ac1300uhp vs ac68u vs ac86u... for "simple" use, multiple devices?
.. for a pc on wifi 2.4ghz 50ft, how well can a 5ghz wifi dongle do?
.. if using 5ghz, what is max distance until performance drop drastically... assuming fairly clear line of sight, not 3-4 walls, etc.?

thanks for help.

What did u have when 50mbps?

Were those original or u addded or removed any package?

I think not.

Hypptv stb or box comes with regular unifi.

U should go tm point and ask if it is worth while to change, what u lose, what u gain.

Hyppbox is much easier to use, hd quality video.

That is not so good.

I think quite a no. with ruby got ruby+jumbo after change.

I went from mega to jumbo, will not let me hv ruby even when mega had ruby inside.

Dont really know how they decide...

Bill.... i think wait for actual first, call if incorrect.

actually... by now, most 100 mbps users know already.
but there are new 100 mbps users everyday...
speed, wifi, 2.4/5.0 issues did not arise with 50mbps or lower.
new to the 100 mbps challenge, info here scattered over 3xx pages... tough!

on top of that, they get a lousy tm router and has mix of old/new and ethernet/wifi devices.
see if they can improve to satisfactory levels before buying new router, new devices.
no brainer if new router cost rm200-300 but if 600, 1k, 1.5k.... need to check first before spending.

i will doing my shopping next week.

u need not worry about this.

they check the records... if yr modem/btu is not good enough, they will change it.

just like the router.

i hv alcatel I-240G-T, no change.

repeat, repeat...!

anyone using asus AC1300UHP for unifi 100mbps?

pls comment.

silence so far....
