TM came and replaced my router with DIR842 with MU-MIMO.
Package is 500Mbps.
They tested with their thick Cat6 cable on their and mine devices and achieved 520+ Mbps.
They tested 2.4 Ghz and got about 170+ to 200+ Mbps.
And 5ghz above 200+ .
Now , I got 3 questions.
1. Does this router sufficient for the time being before I buy something better to ultilize 300Mbps and above on Wi-Fi?
2. How so no login to the Router? They set it up and now I forget to ask for the password. I found there's user password on the bottom, do they use that during set up?
3. They recommend me getting new Wi-Fi adapter with A.C and I have one in mind, DWA182, should be good for getting close to 500Mbps or DWA192?
They tested my Cat5e and strangely it maxed at about 90mbps
Good for you. Finally solve the speed problem. I think it's sufficient. No point in spending unnecessary money.
The password should be on a sticker somewhere.
As for AC, if you're some distance away and behind a door or a wall, you can pretty much forget about high speeds. If you really want the speed, it's better to pull a cable and install a 5Ghz AP in your room.
The cable is probably just bad. I have a bad Cat5e which refuses to link at 1Gbps all the time and I have a Cat5 cable which links at 1Gbps but transfers at a max of 350Mbps.
