Yes, just beside. The speed will decrease when you connect your router down stairs directly. In my opinion and my experience, router is more powerful

On the first page, it states that Asus RT-AC68U can reach max wifi of 500Mbps? I thought it is rather higher for wifi?

Realistically it can only reach that speed on most situation.

Understood, this is for wifi only correct. Over LAN it should be able 1Gbps speed yeah?

Yup.

This is how I setup for my house la.


Everything bought from Taobao.

AC88U : RM 542 AC2600 rating Main Router place beside BTU
D26G: Mercury Router RM 180 AC2600 rating Set as WDS placed in Living Room
AC68U: RM 470 AC1900 rating : Media Bridge / AI Mesh mode in my room



I have tried the setup above, able to achieve 300 Mbps ++

Hi just to update you guys, the setup above is so OP. I still able to stream Youtube video at HD, downlaod files on my mobile via wiFi blazing fast. Did speed test and they are above 100 Mbps

Shameless plug of my own setup guide for Asus routers.

is there a specific lan port for unifi IPTV? coz there got 8 lan ports.

Refer to the settings page. It will actually tell you.

okie.. thanks.

i am planning to get the ac88u.

just want to confirm everything is compatible first only buy.

Hi guys, I need some help over here, its regarding my new router TL-WR840N

I bought this router to replace the current lousy Unifi router ( TRG-212M)

However, my new TP-LINK router is unable to get the internet connection UP.
Status tab shows the IP gateway all 0.0.0.0. [B]

I have confirm the my Unifi ID and PW is correct, end up I can only disable the wifi of Unifi router, and use this TP-link router as WIFI access point.

But...now the wifi connection keeps on disconnecting every few minutes, which drives me crazy. I have tried to tweak the WIFI channel but it doesnt help..

Anyone can enlighten me on this issue ?

Thanks in advance

See my reply to you on other thread. VLAN settings and because of 2.4GHz interference, as your router does not support 5GHz AC. Why did you get that router anyway? It is not much better than the TRG-212M, and it has very basic hardware.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I bought this basic router due to :

1) The Unifi package speed of my unit is just 5mbps ( I am just a tenant, Unifi registered under the owner name and he dont care about the upgrade). Therefore I feel like buying a high end router is just a waste.

2) All of the devices I use only support to N, no AC feature

3) Poorfag trying to save cost as I just need a router which do the basic surfing


By the way, the interface of this router page doesnt have Unifi Mode (like the green firmware), I can only pick the mode in either wireless router/ access point / range extender.

Fair enough. The owner is an idiot then. I have a feeling that he is paying more for less lol. Anyway, fair enough. That router is sufficient for your needs,

Bro, every router from TP-Link has the Unifi mode. You are looking for it at the wrong place. Go to your router, look for ‘Network, then ‘IPTV’, then select mode ‘Malaysia-Unifi’. You will be be able to use it as a router then. Remember to set Operation Mode to Wireless Router to use it as a main router. By the way, what version are you using? Look at the box and see the version. Get the latest firmware here: https://www.tp-link.com/my/download/TL-WR840N.html

If you do update the firmware, you have to reconfigure it again, so have your PPPoE username and password ready, and remember to set ‘Malaysia-Unifi’ mode again.

anybody have experience with prolink prc8301? compare to dlink dir850l?

You are da savior bro ! Finally i can use it as an independent wireless router and ditch the old Unifi unit

Regarding the firmware, mine is V6 Build 171220, and the latest firmware available at TP-Link web is Build 180614

However, the note says its For TL-WR840N EU V6.0. (Mine is EU V6.1 )

Shall i upgrade the firmware in this case ?


Thanks again

No worries. Happy to help. It is similar actually, but if it is working well, and the new firmware doesn’t seem to have new features, then just ignore it for now.

Notice 1st page showing TPlink Archer C9 support 500mbps for wifi speed.
Is it can support up to 1gb internet speed using LAN because i read smallnetbuilder review WAN to LAN is 7xx mb?
