May I know why? Is it due to different firmware use between unifi and time? Bcoz I saw on the box it mentioned can use with unifi/time/maxis.This post has been edited by koceh87: Dec 30 2024, 10:13 PM

The free router from TIME does not support VLAN taggingHowever, since you didn't mention the model at all, can't confirm if it's a free router or the seller bought it him/herself |

TP-Link AX50this is something you would have bought yourself, not provided by ISP So yeah, you can reuse it with any ISP |

If the devices do not support WiFi 6 but just 5, like old devices such as CCTVs, do you think if buying WIFI 6 router such as AX73 will improve the speed in term of latency and etc?

When you upgrade to a new router, often is not just the WiFi generational upgradeNewer routers often come with better WiFi radio chip and they might have stronger signal and better at dealing with interference and this will benefit older WiFi devices as well That's why when I am testing WiFi 7 routers with WiFi 6 devices, there will be performance uplift as well matnur_83 liked this post

You want bare basic wifi mesh on a budget go for X10. But don't expect any updates or newer features to be on it as TP link doesnt seems to update X10 frequently.Already suggested go for Deco X50 (V1) particularly, as I'm also using it, and being frequently updated with the latest features and techs. even their Wifi7 decos don't get most of the requested features yet on their firmware. echoesian liked this post

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Dec 24 2024, 12:11 PM) Stick to 5GHz for long distance performance. What distance do u consider long distance for switching from 6ghz to 5ghz.IMO, 6GHz on low end routers are pointless, they are too weak to be usable. Currently only those high end routers offer usable 6GHz performance. Avoid cheap grey import RT-AX86U on Shopee, those are refurbished unit and known to fail prematurely. Stick to Malaysia dealers / official. Sidenote, AX86U is discontinued, current for sale is RT-AX86U PRO model. 10meter from wireless ap? 15 meter? What's the threshold for 6ghz for stance. 1-2 wall ok? This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Jan 15 2025, 05:40 AM |
