Hi guys. Just wondering, is there anyone on the forum using Asus RT-AC1300UHP router for Unifi? If yes, is it stable? I will be getting a free replacement of the archer c1200 TPlink router from Unifi but thinking if i should get a better one instead.

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!

Yup, that's true. Heard there's alot of vulnerabilities nowadays regarding routers.

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.

Thanks for the info!

I just purchased the Asus AC1300UHP. Will get the router in a couple of days. Can't wait to test it out! Thanks for all the help guys.

Update:

Got the router today and found it to be good so far. My smart TV is getting maximum speed too

I got mine from Lazada. Found the one with the most verified reviews haha.

Have any of you tried changing the wifi channel for Asus router? I understand that it’s best to choose a wifi channel with fewer people on it to increase speed and at the same time reduce the wifi from disconnecting. Also, are the DFS channels really that great? Thanks!
