hi , i am not sure how to ask this, but i am on 800Mbps unifi at the moment, the question is
what router is best value for money for gaming stability on Cable connection,
i was using the tm provided dlink 842 Tm firmware and its horible( tm build in dns server connection ) , so i swap back to my trusty old Dlink 615 .
yes i know its only 100Mbps support but stable .and i am happy .
so what can you recomand which is not pocket burning and best value for money for gaming, and downloading/streaming? without having to restart every week/day.

i was recomanded to get tp-link ac2300 or asus rt ac3200

Thanks!

I've a question here. I am using Unifi Turbo-ed to 300 Mbps. BTU using Huawei 8240. So, happily changed my router to Archer C6. But after trying to config around, the max speed I could get is around 120 Mbps for WiFi (Tested on Lenovo X280 laptop and iPhone XS).

LAN Cable I'm using CAT 5e. Are they any config that I've to set in order to reach near to 300?

Location of test: Right beside the router and BTU.

TM speedtest of full 800 mbps, of cuz by connected to LAN Cat 5e cable.

Who still uses D-link 850L for turbo 800Mbps?
I think mine is bottle-necking and can only get max 300Mbps when direct download. Using cable of course.

Latest firmware 2.10TM.
Wifi, firewall, qos, and ipv6 are all turned off.
Direct download tested using IDM fetching from centos mirror, microsoft iso, and google drive.

The weird thing is, running speedtest is consistent at 840-850Mbps.
Torrent speed is also good at 600-700Mbps.

I tried plugging laptop directly to the ONU hg8240w and connect using windows pppoe. Yeah no problem getting full speed for direct download.
So definitely something is wrong with the 850L.

I'm confused why speedtest and torrents are fine, but normal http download was bottle-necked confused.gif

Perhaps you can have a look at Page 1 for more information pertaining your router D-link 850L. It only supports upto 300Mbps. wink.gif

I'm not using DIR-850L but it shouldn't have any problem handling 800Mbps on LAN. As you've already seen with your own speedtests and torrents.

How many connections for your direct download?

What do you get when you speedtest.net with single connection?

Just did a quick speedtest.net with OVH SG.
Multiple: 850Mbps
Single:350Mbps

2nd speedtest.net seems to be faster.

Have tried 8,16, and 32 connections. No difference.
Even downloading with multiple server is the same:

Really have no idea why. Your single connection speedtest is even faster than mine.

This is Centos Everything downloading in Safari browser. About the same as my FTP speed from the same server.

See, yours doesn't even need to use IDM to get higher speed cry.gif

After some googling and reading about 850L, the only reference I found similar to issue like this is from a review:
https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wi...router-reviewed

QUOTE
Poor handling of simultaneous up/down routed traffic
...
Total Simultaneous: 312 Mbps
...
But the simultaneous up/downlink benchmark plot below shows some serious problems in balancing traffic loads in heavy use.

Don't know if this is related to my issue. Also don't know if this happens to all 850L.
I guess it wasn't a problem for 100Mbps. But for speed more than 300Mbps its a.. trash can biggrin.gif

Something better is required. It does mention that it have gigabit ports, but it wil be severely throttled by the CPU.

does this affect my download speed?
via FTP, only 12Mbytes/s per file.

i have been trying to "fix" this issue but i cant find the problem.
even the AC1200 from tm cant seem to fix it.

what router do you suggest?mostly LAN usage only.

12*8 = 96Mbps. Are you sure you are not throttled by your BTU? What BTU are you using?

i have been using this since VIP10 package.
they did come to check it after the free upgrade to 100mbps back then.

how do i confirm if its a BTU problem?Ask them to come and check?
cos i am sure they will ask for a speed test shot, which will be max speed. hmm.gif

STEP 1: Connect to port 1 on ONU
STEP 2: Go to network connections -> Configure network adapter -> Set VLAN ID (500 for unifi)
STEP 3: Go to network and sharing -> Create new connection -> Choose broadband/pppoe -> Enter id/pass
STEP 4: Profit!
