Ahh okay. If i purchase the Asus AC1300UHP, do i need to update the firmware (https://www.asus.com/my/Networking/RT-AC130.../HelpDesk_BIOS/) from this link? Current version : 3.0.0.4.380.8228
Thanks for the link!

acrt1300uhp is a cost effective router.
used it 6 months now.
trouble free.
yes, update to that current firmware.

i hv no comments on how it does for CCTV, remote access, exotic use... never used it for those.

i use it for 2 storey house, 12 devices, mix of 5 and 2.4ghz.
mainly entertainment streaming incl torr, browsing, pc stuff.
very good for worldcup 2018 streaming in 1080p, foc... tongue.gif

How's the download speed for smart TV usage when connected via Wifi using this router (Mbps)? Currently i'm on the 50 Mbps unifi plan and i'm using the default stock TM D-Link router (very old one) and is placed upstairs. When i use wifi in the room upstairs with the router i will get approx 40-50 Mbps which is definitely good enough for me. However, when i use the Wifi downstairs on the smart TV, the download speed is about 5 - 10 Mbps only. Therefore, I bought a TP-Link wifi repeater which is placed downstairs and the Wifi download speed for the smart TV went up to about 20-30 Mbps. Just wondering, if i do purchase this Asus router, will it actually help with the download speed downstairs? Thanks.

wifi is always a tricky one, a lot depends on yr home, the actual posiitons, and what actual devices.

if i hv to estimate, assuming yr smart tv can do 5ghz, u shud get 30-40mbps without the repeater if line of sight is not badly cluttered, like many walls, etc.

if it is on same floor <50ft, can get pretty much full speed

with rtac1300uhp, the use of repeater will not be necessary.


anyway, once u replace the old router with the new, u will find all devices will work better.

Hi all.. i never used dual band router before. So, I have a question. When enabling the wifi, is it possible to just use 1 ssid for all users, and let the rounter select/change automatically between 2.4 & 5GHz?
*
yes.

i don't remember doing anything extra.... set ssid, tick 5ghz.

it will do the rest... say, ssid abcd for 2.4ghz, the other will appear as abcd_5G, use same PW.

yr devices, if dual band, will go for whichever is stronger.

this router for its price is pretty good - stable and reliable.

for my unifi 800mbps:

ethernet is max if yr device is gigiabit - my test 860mbps on one device.

wifi... <40ft, 5ghz strong... 200-400mbps; >50ft, likely it will switch to 2.4ghz, get 20-30 mbps, still good enough for most purposes.

been using this rtac1300uhp router for 1.5 years now.


remember to update to current firmware:
3.0.0.4.380_8457
