wifi 2.4ghz max dl 100mbps is fine due to its standard which is half duplex transmission.
If you want to test max dl speed, please use LAN cable to test.
Else disable 2.4ghz and fully use 5ghz with MIMO function enable.
Get mesh if you suffer coverage issue.

Can suggest any cheap mesh units tht supports wifi 6

May we know what brand and model ? thanks

I hope the picture can help to identify the router. From what the technician told me, it is huawei. No model name no specs or anything.

Yes, it is a Huawei model

It is an enhanced version of the famous HG8245 with WiFi 6 hence the model code LG8245X6. But, the performance is kinda poor.

How's your experience using it?

Currently, I'm using TP Link AX50 which is a WiFi6 router. The TP Link Deco M4 mesh listed as AC1200, which given by TM for upgrading to 300mbps.

My question is if I use the Deco m4, it seems like I may increase the WiFi coverage but downgrading back to WiFi5, am I correct?
Is it better to use AX50 if I don't have wifi coverage problem?
Thinking of selling the Deco M4 to offset the bill if not really needed/useful for my case.
Hope someone could clear up my queries, thanks.

Yes

If your use case is need larger coverage M4 will be more suitable. (presume you able wire backhaul)
But if small area and AX50 able to cover, Wifi6 is better choice.

House Type: Condo
Size: 1,200 sq ft
Features required: Stable and fast connection speed
Number of devices connected to WiFi: 5~8 at a time
Internet Speed: 500mbps TIME
Budget: as long as not overkill


Need each sifus opinion here. I'm looking to purchase 2-pack deco x20 for my new condo unit. But have a few thoughts in mind:

1. To have 1 unit replace as router, with another unit installed at the corridor through wireless backhaul
2. To have 1 unit replace as router, with another unit in master bedroom plugged to the repeat point (RJ 45 outlet)
3. To purchase 2 routers (say Asus RT-AX55), and create an AIMesh system (1 at living room, 1 at master bedroom).
4. Just have 1 crazy good router at living room (suggestions needed for this).

Which options look to be the best? Layout attached.

I would pick option 2 or 3 as it will create mesh network using wired backhaul via your rj45 outlet, but please make sure that outlet do support gigabit connection, if it's just limited to 100Mbps, the wireless backhaul might be better and faster.

Choose option 3 if you need any features that only Asus offers (eg. vpn client, ovpn server with password connection, etc) and make sure you're running on the latest firmware that support AiMesh 2.0 or newer, otherwise option 2 is good too.

read and watched a few reviews but wondering if anyone has an opinion on Tenda AC23 ?

good enough to support 15 devices ? No need performance, just after stability.

I’ll be connecting the M4 wirelessly, wired backhaul is not possible. Old house here.
In fact, AX50 coverage is enough for my house except the kitchen part which no one sit there.
But, just want to know if there’s any benefit for using M4 other than larger WiFi coverage. I haven’t got the Deco M4 2-packs yet.
TM just call me yesterday (01/03) for the offers, and today (02/03) my plan already upgraded, unifi 300Mbps - Loyalty Super Value (Broadband + MESH WiFi M4)
Previous plan was Try Me Broadband 100mbps.

The router performance is indeed poor.
Thinking of getting TP-Link AX20 or AX73 I don't know which one is worthit for me.

Looking for help where is the shortfall in my Unifi speed (everything on cable).....all advice gratefully appreciated....

Current subscription : 800mbps Unifi
Existing speed : 250mbps download / 150 mbps upload

Existing equipment : Router (DIR 850L) - provided by TM
Modem : Echolife HG8240H (Apr 2018)

Cat 6 cable connects from Router to 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (TL-SG 1008D)

Cat 6 connects Switch to PC.

could it be equipment degradation ? pls advice where i should check....

Did you enabled any qos setting on dir 850L?

Since no one replying, I bought myself the Archer c80 router for RM175 from ookas + 3,700 shopee coin. Setting quite easy and straight forward. Manage to get the ppoe password through inspect html. Performance and coverage wise are way much better than the aztech ds244wsgv.

Hi all sifu, I like to change my unifi orange netis router, is located in master bedroom on 2nd floor, can’t get stable contention at 1st floor dining room, do I go for ASUS RT-AX55 twin pack? Or TPlink AX73 with RE300 ?

good question. no qos setting at all...no prioritization so i guess all equal ?

What's your plan speed?

Thanks

300mbps
