Hello guys, I live in a double storey house with about 10 devices connected to my 30 mbps maxis fibre internet.
Need help from all the sifus here in choosing a new router. My old router is Asus rt-n12 which was not good enough gave me unstable wireless networks and lags.

Recently I have been looking at these few routers on Lazada but I do not know which is better for my home.

Tenda AC1200 AC6 Dual Band Wireless Router 4x5dbi - RM 155.55
https://www.lazada.com.my/tenda-ac1200-ac6-....59470ca6qY3jmf

TP-LINK Ultimate 450Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Unifi Router TL-WR1043N - RM 168.55
https://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-ultimate-....3a3b62dbfheEbm

D-Link High Power Cloud Router DIR-619L Wireless N WiFi 300mbps - RM 129.55
https://www.lazada.com.my/d-link-high-power....59470ca6qY3jmf

TP-LINK 2 x 9dbi High Power Wireless N WiFi Router TL-WR841HP V3 - RM 174.55
https://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-2-x-9dbi-....59470ca6qY3jmf

D-link 450Mbps High Power Wireless WiFi Router DIR-629 - RM145.55

OR if any sifus have any other router models that are better can recommend.
Any advice and recommendation is appreciated. Thanks in advance thumbup.gif

I agree with bro zher4883. Your budget is too limited for anything good.

Since you are using Maxis Fibre, you will need to bridge the Maxis router for VoIP, to the new third party router that you will be getting, or only two D-Link routers that can support VoIP.

if u can stretch ur budget a bit and don't mind a deep learning curve,

i suggest mikrotik hAP ac lite as router and use back ur current Asus rt-n12 as repeater for better wifi coverage.

Where did you buy your mikrotik hAp ac lite from?

With a low budget, you can try adding a dual band access point. Btw even a router with no dedicated 'access point mode' in the configuration can act as an AP, e.g. tplink archer C20 (about RM160)
Since there are 10 devices at your house, this will ease the load on your main router (since you mentioned unstable wifi and lags). The 5Ghz coverage on the archer C20 is weak though.

another 'cheap' option, perhaps can even use this as main router?

not sure if all variants (v1,v2 etc) of it supports unifi though..
