Hello so you mean the models you mentioned will be the main unit connect to the modem? Then my current 2 E4s link to it?

Yes, cons is if the device connector to E4 then your speed will limit to 100mbs...
But M5 and above you should buy 2pcs, then if really had blink spot, only patch with E4(wire backhaul)

House type: Landed
Size of house: Around 4000 sqft, double story
Features required: Router that can work with Maxis Fibre, Wifi 6 preferred

Budget: ~RM500, but flexible

Hi, would like to seek your advice for a new router. Just changed to Maxis Fibre 500 Mbps package, and was provided with the KAONMEDIA AR2140 and a Deco M4R (2-pack). The KAON router worked very well with almost no downtime at all, but failed after a month or so. Got the Maxis technician to come and they replaced it with a Huawei LG8245X6. The Huawei router doesn't seem able to support the amount of devices, with packet loss and lag spikes for 2-3 minutes every hour or so.

Don't need super wide coverage, as it will be covered by the Deco M4, just need a stable router that can handle the large amount of devices.
The budget of RM500 is flexible and can top up if worth it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

5 Ghz Wifi signal drops for just 2-3 seconds, very brief and then ok again. Been happening like once in an hour. Is it a sign that router is dying?

No issue on wired connection.

Router is Asus RT-AC86U, about 3 years old.

Any idea what the temperature of the CPU and wifi chips is?

AC86U is famous for overheating (above 100 deg).

Hi everyone, let's say I plan to have router downstairs and have ethernet cable pulled all the way upstairs (hide inside wall), what would be the best downstairs router + upstairs access point combo?

Size of house: 2000sqft double storey terrace
Internet Speed: 300mbps
Budget:RM1000
Wifi connected devices: 4 phones/laptop, maybe up to 10 smart devices.

The rest I try to keepwired (PC, TV, TV Box).

Would maxis' latest wifi 6 router be good enough? Or will it "choke" when worst case scenario all devices are connected and streaming.

House type: Landed
Size of house: ard 3800sqf / 2 double storey house combined
Features required: Just recommend me anything ^^
Number of devices connected to WiFi: plus minus 11-12 devices
Internet Speed: 800mbps
Budget:RM500-1000

Hi all sifus, would like to seek advice from you guys. currently running unifi router with two mesh m4 around the house. the main deco is wired to the unifi router (this router cuts off internet on and off ) while the other mesh is wireless with the main deco. speed is unstable for me so am thinking to upgrade either the main router or mesh?

Thank you in advance for suggetions!

ISP provided router will always choke

RT-AX3000 + RT-AX55 linked with AiMesh and hardwired for Ethernet backhaul.

thanks for the suggestion. Sorry if stupid question, but I just wanna confirm. Even if using ethernet, I still have to configure both of them as a mesh system first using the app, correct?

Maybe try connect your Deco M4 directly to the modem and use PPPOE mode.

2.4 Ghz : 47 degC
5 Ghz : 55 degC
CPU : 60 degC

Running on Merlin firmware and I even put the twin fan kit on it, 1 week after I bought the router.
Been working great though. Months of uptime without disconnection, both LAN & wifi. Only last week I notice the intermittent connection on wifi, LAN is still good.

thanks for the input! didnt realise i have that option 
i am kind of interested in asus aimesh system, seems like kind of interesting! hahja   

if i want to go aimesh what should i get?

thank you sir!
