Don't get the China version, 5GHz performance is around 50% of our version due to 5GHz power limitation in China. No way to bypass that.

Taiwan version is fine.

Always get the latest and greatest. The WiFi SoC on the PRO version is the enhanced BCM6715, it's technically 6E capable. tongue.gif

can test put repeater in utility room? maybe better at receiving 5Ghz signal there. Best position for you is the repeater to stay some where between corridor of doors. Less walls for 5Ghz to penetrate the better it receives data. But not everyone can make a new plug point by their own. So trial & error at different plugs then. tongue.gif

Maybe i'll try but it seems redundant to me because the repeater signal end up have to penetrate 2 walls also to reach the last room

Both under the same company. For normal use, you won't notice a different anyway.

Mercusys is a budget brand.

I purchased Deco X50-5G router yesterday from All IT. The router is very sturdy and well built.

Currently using UHome 5G and in my area, speeds can reach upto 900mbps.

One thing I noticed with UHome 5G (or maybe Umobile in general) is the latency. I am getting a relatively high ping (around 20-35ms) when playing Mobile Legends.

This is in contrast with Digi where it is much lower (7-18ms).

Why didn't I just get the cheaper "3" or "E" 5G router? I just need some peace of mind when it comes to software support and warranty. It was a hard decision to swallow because of the RM500 difference in price. Also, I am planning to really take good care of this item so I can use it longer.

I'm also pretty sure telcos will now try to win the consumers by offering cheaper unlimited 5G hotspot in the future. And yes, I believe 5G is really the future of home internet.

RM1179. Very steep but I need it for work badly (wfh).

Ookas is selling RM1199 deduct RM200 voucher = RM999

I am not planning to resell this anyway and will use it until it's broken.

That quite cheap. I bought mine at IBN IT shopee on 15 Aug. They have sudden flash sale for Deco X50-5G for RM1099. Got a RM40 discount but need to pay RM4.90 for postage.
Worth buying it & using UHome 5G instead of Maxis/CelcomDigi offer. In 13-14 month the upfront cost I paid for a 5G router will be even out & I still continue paying less for 5G broadband biggrin.gif

Exactly, in the long run, Uhome 5G + 5G router combo is cheaper.
No contract + convenience where you can use your broadband anywhere. This is great for people who are renting.

Currently, the 500-900mb speed is already an overkill but this will reduce since more and more people are using 5G. I just hope telcos can at least maintain the 200-300mb rate.

Yaya. I need the router now and cannot wait for delivery because of work. I will lose more than RM200 if I don't work for a day. Lol

Besides, AllIT is just across where I stay so I can return anytime should there be any issue.

I rate Deco X50-5G 10/10 👏
It doesn't heat up (not even warm) even in room temperature (AC turned OFF).

I heard 3/EE heats up a bit.

Umobile promise a minimum 100Mbps for 5G. IMO that good enough especially for RM68 a month. While Maxis is 300Mbps if I'm not mistaken. Not sure for CelcomDigi thou.
Yeah for now I'm enjoying the 500-600Mbps in my area. Big upgrade for me from Unifi 100Mbps biggrin.gif
