QUOTE(Ebony & Ivory @ Feb 1 2018, 07:11 PM) If budget around RM500, Want a powerful and capable router, can consider mikrotik. But u may need to spend some time to learn and tweak its configuration. For set and forget type, just get Asus ac86u from taobao. Both is good enough. I shall avoid mikrotik as I can't handle the tweak in configuration, simple setup still can handle. For Asus, ac86u n ac86u wat the different? QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Feb 2 2018, 12:15 PM) Will recommend the TP-Link Archer C7 v4: https://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-ac1750-wi...is-1774185.html Thx for the suggestion, will looking into this model. Any other suggestion? Budget wise I can increase a bit of got better choice |

QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Feb 2 2018, 03:05 PM) I am assuming you are asking about the difference between ac68u and ac86u. AC86u is better than AC86U, and newer of course. I would recommend the TP-Link AC3150 v2 which is cheaper than the two ASUS models mentioned above: sry, i mean ac86u and ac87uhttps://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-archer-c3...3136tMdZBd&mp=1  saw some seller in the garage selling ac87u rm750 each  QUOTE(AVFAN @ Feb 2 2018, 03:09 PM) has anything changed in yr speed or network? i used rtn12hp_b1 for 4 years... 10->30->50 mbps, all good. this router couldn't do well enough with 100mbps when i upgraded, and that's expected. changed to rtac1300uhp (rm5xx), all good again. simple setup, almost auto, no tweaking required. not sure what your home, devices, what u use... maybe like my case... can read my post #7680: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2651405/+7660 for the past 1 month, my internet keep disconnected with RTN12hp. Have try reset the router few time also ask tm to reset the port few time, condition still the same. Finally last week dig out back old tm DL DIR 615 to try, so far no disconnect for past few days. For the speed part felt like 30mb and 50mb about the same on RTN12HP. My house is double story and my rounter is set at the living hall. My com in 2nd floor only able to received 4 bar network with RTN12HP. Since now planning to get a new router so looking for better coverage. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Feb 2 2018, 06:14 PM) Pòssible yr rtn12hp about to die. From yr description, i recommend u the rtac1300uhp... it will be better than rtn12hp or stock router. More so for devices than have dual band, can easily get better wifi speed if not too far using 5ghz freq. It is also good when u go 100mbps. There are surely better routers but will be more expensive. And for 50mbps, i will certainly not spend more than rm5xx. QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Feb 2 2018, 06:30 PM) I would recommend the TP Link AC350 v2 if you are intending to pay RM750 for the AC87U. The TP Link is newer and have nearly same features as the AC87U plus your house is only double storey. See here: https://www.lazada.com.my/tp-link-archer-c3...81e5NFJvLR&mp=1 I shall go for ac1300uhp, can save some money for cnyOr you can get the ASUS Rt-AC1300UHP, which only goes for RM5xx. That should be sufficient for your needs. |
