The price of router is almost like a entry laptop these days

Yes.

But, it is a worthy invesetment.

ADSL router prices seem to drop over the years but fiber router seems to be getting pricier. Any reason for that ?

More features and demand is higher, so price will naturally rise.

im not sure where to ask but lately everytime i connect to the 5ghz wifi the whole internet disconnects... i tested with a different router and i get the same problem...

list what router did you test? we need more clue.

Updated this post with a quick guide on post #1 and included USB WiFi adapter list.

Not full list of everything in the market but these are the adapters that I think you should buy.

hi all

i bought t9uh based on recommendation here, but somehow it frequent disconnected. Any advise?

May I check, I just received the msg that I have been turbo for Unifi.. to 300mbps
I'm currently using TM provided DIR-850, after reading the forums, looks like I have to change router to get better wifi speed. Just to confirm will changing to TP-link AC1750 will be able to get better wifi speed? and need to use cat 6 cable?

Wanted to confirm before purchasing. Thanks

Sorry no knowledge in networking.

Update drivers.

Yes, it will help, and no, you can use Cat 5e cable as well.

i download the driver from internet and it was the latest version....currently i plugged into usb extension port, would it be the issue?

Ah yes, probably that is the issue, the USB extension port does not have enough power for the wireless adapter.

Thank you.

It depends on what u want out of ur router actually. For me I am contended already with full speed via wired connection and then around 200~300 Mbps via wifi. To get that just get a basic router with AC and gigabit connection. Less than RM200

Hey everyone
is it true that there are no way to change Dlink DIR882 to be a AP? Time is replacing my DIR650L to DIR882 but I feel like getting TPlink AC3150 as the main router to utilize the max speed

Just plug the LAN cable to the LAN port not WAN port, then turn off DHCP of the dir882

ahh that was what i do back then as well just need to confirm that it would works got a shock when i go to their official website and they just write that it wont be supported so i thought they did some restriction
looks like its just me thinking too much thanks!

Hi bro. how about C7? I own C7 from my previous house. When i subscribe to TIME at new home they give me C1200 but wifi speed around 300mbps only.
My package upgraded to 500mbs. With C7 can I achieve 500mbps wireless speed? (distance 5m router split by thin/plywood wall).

Yes, it is possible with C7. Just try and see how it goes. Remember that your device needs to be able to support the speed as well on 5GHz AC.
