If you really want to utilize your connection well then don't consider any powerline.

Just realized that AN5506-04-BG, the BTU that is currently being issued by TM for some users, are capable of gigabit speeds as well, so you might want to add it to your list. Blacktubi

I reviewed this before. Peak speed is around 300Mbps even at super optimal condition.

no
go read the 1st page of the main unifi thread

Hi guys, need some advise. I have recently been turboed to 500Mbps.
My hardwares setup are :-
1) BTU - Alcatel Lucent I-240G-P (been with me since 2010 or 2011)
2) Wifi Router - TP Link Archer C7 V2
3) Cable from BTU to Wifi Router - Cat 5E

Problems:-
1) Tested WIFI speeds on Samsung Note 4, Ipad Air, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with Ookla on 5G band but could not achieve more than 180 Mbps download Wifi speeds. Have tried contacting TM but the technical department says due to recent upgrades, the speed are still not stable and ask me to be patient and will re-fresh my connections to see if there is any improvement which it did not. - Are my hardwares ready for 500 Mbps and are my WIFI testings accurate?

2) Bought a Cat 6 cable (brand - U Green) but when connected from BTU to Wfi Router, the WIFI connections becomes erratic, sometimes online, sometimes offline. I changed back to Cat 5E and it becomes stable. Is the Cat 6 cable not compatible or defective?
note - The Cat 6 cable was bought online and was quite cheap, maybe that's the problem.

Did you buy from ugreen flagship store on lazada? get the round cat 6 from them.

Yes, it was bought from Ugreen flagship store in Lazada and it was the round one. Funny thing is that compared to the Cat 5E cable, the Cat6 cable looks thinner...lol.

It was on flash sale at that time and only cost RM4.08, I bought 2.

Have u try different location server?
Sometimes the auto server does not choose the best

Mine 100mbps achievable when manual select Shah alam server, the auto server always choose Kuala Lumpur which only around 80mbps

The same round cat 6 15M seems to work fine and stable for me, I'm using on the tp link archer 7 v4 + connected to gigabit switch. LAN to LAN connection can achieve 920+Mbps, speedtest 500+Mbps

Yes, have tried to manually select the nearest server, still not getting more than 170 Mbps.

So, you think that my hardwares are ok to achieve 500 Mbps?

Do read the guide on the Unifi thread first page. You'd probably want to get a better router.

The Archer C7 V2, after I bought it and set it up last year, I did not do any firmware upgrades after that.
Do you think I need to do any firmware upgrades or other settings?

If this is the case, I rather downgrade it to 100 Mbps. 500 Mbps is a overkill for me.
Thanks for your guidance.

before that, check if you enabled QOS, disable it if it's on.

For 5Ghz wifi, set to 80mhz and test again. For example, Redmi Note 5 won't go more than 300Mbps

D-Link has released their recommendation too

V2 is considered old. It is already V5 now.

No point setting to 80MHz, if your device does not support the MIMO required for the turbo speed.
