Hi, would like to advise you to sell off the TP-Link Wi-Fi Extender.

Purchase TP-Link C2300 instead to cover whole house.

Thanks.

Asus RT-AC86U, or TP-Link C2300 as a budget option.

I don't recommend using mesh for 1000sqft, it is counter intuitive. For 1000 sqft, a mesh WiFi is just going to introduce more noise and you will have issue with roaming.

ASUS RT-AC86U will be your best bet here.

Assuming 1400sqft single storey terrace. Same as above, mesh will cause more harm than good.

ASUS RT-AC86U will be the best choice.

what if i top up till 1.2k? i've found tp-link c5400x at slightly more than 1.2k, is it recommended or there are other options that are better than c5400x at that price point?

TP-Link Archer C5400X will be faster as it comes with more RAM, two additional CPU cores and an extra WiFi band compared to the RT-AC86U.

TP-Link typically offer better specs at a same price but ASUS router do have a better firmware so that will be your call to make.

There are some recommendations on mesh wifi. What about your input? If mesh wifi is recommended, any recommended shop that assist to provide installation or setup?

if you were me, would you go for a better firmware or a better spec? i'm torn between this. TP-LINK C5400X sounds very promising, but at that price point i can't even get a ASUS RT-AC88U.

Archer A9 will be way faster than Tenda AC18.

Hi all my house has about 8-10 devices connected to the wifi.. sometimes the connection would go ‘hang’ and unable to load pages even it is showing ‘connected’

Could it be my rmodem unable to support to many devices? Im using TM provided silver colour router (innacomm)

Plan is streamyx 8mbps
