Updating my Ruckus AP....

Hi folks.
I managed to find a seller selling Asus RT-AC88U at RM795 after discount. He claimed it is new and comes with 1 year warranty but imported from China. Is this a good price? Maybe it is refurbished?
Thanks.

I am unable to view it since it is would be sent from overseas.
Refurbished also means it could be second hand, which indicates the warranty is supplier warranty?

I spotted another set at around RM900 from another seller but it is also from China.

So for these 2 prices, could these be China version but still new and authentic? Or they imported from Amazon or something?
Or these prices are too good to be true, such that most likely they are not new but refurbished?

wireless AP client mode vs usb3 wifi receiver

just curious.. not that I plan to buy this or anything

TP-LINK AP500, an an AC1900 Gigabit AP..
let's say it is used in client mode (connect your pc using a cat6/7 cable to it)
in theory, it should give a faster speed (on unifi 800Mbps) compared to using whatever brand AC1900 usb3 wifi receiver right?

it has only 1 lan port and if it's connected to the router via wired connection, it is no longer called client mode, that would be access point mode. 
yeah the firmware is damn old, 2015 I believe? But for the US version they released a new update early this year

the main thing that I'm curious about is using it in 'client mode' vs any other 'usb3 receiver"
speed wise I am not worried because I do my main downloads on a pc with a wired connection sitting next to the router 
this is just to satisfy my curiosity xD
I see.. this is the answer I'm looking for 
Since you are pretty resourceful with networking hardware, perhaps you could source for 1 unit and do a review of it (wifi ap client mode vs usb3 receiver)? 

My house is doing renovation now, anyone know where to buy cat 6a lan cable for home networking ? i thinking to hide all the cable inside the wall.  any recommendation ?

Thank you for the suggestion, i will take a look on lelong later.
i plan to hide all these cable inside the wall, do you think cat6a is the one to go? (future proof also)
oh shopee! thanks 

Is it a requirement to enable ipv6 for turbo-boost? I used to use it, but some webpage return unavailable. Ipv4 no problem at all. Using the Cloudflare DNS.

Thanks but pardon me, could you elaborate a bit more on the limited bandwidth?

I'm also thinking on going with the Powerline Adapter route + Wired Cable but dunno if it's a good idea if I can get consistent 800Mpbs from a wireless adapter hmm.

So I finally got turbo to 500Mbps and I'm looking to upgrade the network infra in my house.

Current Setup:
Ground Floor
- Alcatel Lucent I-240G-P -> TP-Link Archer C7 v2
- Router connects to Unblock Tech Android TV box and TP-Link PA4010 (1)
- TP-Link PA4010 (2) connects to my brother's PC in the back room

First Floor
- TP-Link PA4020 connect to my PC at the living room directly above where my Unifi setup is

I can see a few options and none involves pulling long ethernet wires across the house just cause. So, the following option I thought of:

1. New router on ground floor and use the existing one as AP on first floor, running one powerline set to my brother's PC.
2. Assuming I found a contractor to pull the fiber cable to the first floor and setup the modem and router there, leaving one/two? set of powerline to my brother's PC (or the android TV box since it got internal wifi receiver).
3. New router and AP setup, no powerline so brother's PC uses wifi adapter
4. New router, all PC uses wifi receiver (final resort)

As my family constantly uses their mobile devices, the TV box, PCs simultaneously for mainly media streaming, gaming and such, in terms of cost, speed and feasibility, which would be more suitable?

You mean they can actually Reset the Port remotely, and my modem will shows 1.0Gpbs when i test it by Modem - Cat5e - my pc gigabit port?

Can I get at least 500Mbps with my Huawei WS880? WiFi is priority because all of our devices are connected via WiFi.

I don't think I'm hoping it will reach 800Mbps though.. If it does then it's great.

Last I read it may support 800Mbps too but now I have a doubt.

Wow high beam 1750 wireless, radioactive is everywhere lol.

AX even worst, behind a wooden wall = straight away no signal or very weak signal 

I must be sleepy now.
How on earth I'm still expecting the WiFi to spike more than 500Mbps. My apologies.
Then I will need to check out the cables I have at home, I recalled we had a few Cat 5e at home, maybe I should grab some from office.

K, spoonfeed me. Itu 3*3:3 configuration, must be super high end stuff right?

The highest end devices I have are my mobile phone LG V30+ and Lenovo X1 Carbon which is my company's laptop.

Any sifu can help me,
I know some internet knowledge, but i dont think it is applicable for my situation.

I have  BTW huawei hg8240w, Tplink, C1200 and turbo to 500 Mbps however my speed test result really like shit.
Note: I disconnect all wifi and speedtest with 1m cat5e cable at port 1 on the C1200.
The speedtest result is show below:

What should I do test improve the speed test result, should I update any firmware?  I did 10 min cold restart for a few time. Now asking on twitter to reset my connection.

Still waiting to be turboed in seremban area. Planning to change my dlink trash can to asus 88u. Saw in msia cost about rm1.3k but on taobao  it's half the price. Very tempting. U guys know if there is any difference other than the warranty and plug type? Tq

My main aim is to extend my house coverage ( trying not to use any wall plugs or extender) coz my current dlink 850L is quite sucky. Router currently in living room at the bottom of tv cabinet shelf

samsung 4x4 )

After over 3 hours of surveying, researching and asking around in LYP about how to setup my home network w/ Turbo 500Mbps (even tho I did my homework here and there and somewhere......)

Finally end up with something like this:

Home Profile
- 2 Storey House
- Around 1700 sq ft
- 3 location to setup

Ground Floor
- Alcatel Lucent I-240G-P --> TP-Link Deco M9 Plus (1)
- Deco 1 --> Unblock Tech Android TV Box thru 5m RJ45 Cat5e Cable
- (Back Room/Drum Room) Deco 2 --> Brother's PC

First Floor
- Deco 3 --> TP-Link 5 Port Easy Smart Switch TL-SG105E (Switch)
- Switch --> My PC and other 2 laptops

I know there will be some asking why I didn't just drill holes, lay long ass cables or get more better routers just to get the highest speed and most stable net possible, but wire-free tidiness and budget means I can't go crazy with the setup (until the foreseeable future that is)

So far the speed tests I did on DSLReports on my 1st floor PC with around 10 devices using the network gives me an average speed of around 450Mbps down and 100Mbps up. Of course I'm happy with what I got so far so it'll have to do for now.

10 tests result I did after the setup

P/S: the line before was old tests on the old setup which can be refer here
