It is a lot better than the stock Unifi router.

Not the guy but sharing my own use of RPi.

I am running PiHole which lets me to block ads across my entire network.

You will still see some content based ads like Youtube but most web ads are removed.

I would prefer the C2300 unless you have a PCE-AC88 to utilize the 4x4.

Cheers bro for the feedback.

Dear everyone, just to update some information from a friend of mine.

TP-Link Deco M9 PLUS supports UNIFI TV with Firmware update.

Thanks.

I use my Pi 3 B+ to run ntopng network traffic app, Pi-Hole to block ads & malicious sites, and Grafana as network dashboard.

Wah! So geng! Thanks! I will try to do the same just for the fun of it.

Any budget gaming wifi router recommend? Budget around RM400 to RM600. I'm using 800mbps Unifi.

TP-Link Archer C2300 is the best wireless router in this range.

Hi guys,

I'm looking for recommendations for new router to replace my current TP-Link AC1200. My current plan is UNIFI 500Mbps, and my intention of replacement is to utilize its full speed as max as possible.

The current AC1200 only managed to push up to 300Mbps for 5Ghz band. So quite frustrated there.

Thanks.

Refer to first page of this thread.

Hi Sifu,

I need to upgrade more speed network router, because on this old stuff family don't want put money on it.
I have attached one image of, I have using it form more than ten years TM stuff.

The list of device using it:
2 iPhone
1 Huawei Phone
1 iPad (Korean Drama)
2 Laptop
1 Desktop (only for gaming CSGo and The Division)

Here is the image(now wifi giving 23Mpbs only)


Thanks Sifu
Have a nice day.

Refer to first page or my signature. You are still using the DIR-615, which is considered very old. What is your budget? You will need a dual band router and your speed will increase.

Morning

Speed: 100Mpbs
Budget: RM500 to RM800 (still can up to RM1000 need funding from family)
Double S. house 20X70, all the stuff is at first floor.

Thank Sifu

I recommend the TP-Link C2300, or if you prefer Asus, the ASUS RT-AC1300UHP. I would go for the TP-Link C2300 personally.

Sifu

How about future will use smart TV, C2300 and RT-AC1300UHP still good for more device?

Thanks SilentVampire

In the future, will use AX, but C2300 and RT-AC1300UHP is good enough for now.

Thank you so much

Hi, i would like to ask for some recommendation on PCIE wifi card , any good recommendation? saw quite a good review for this

Asus PCE-AC68 802.11ac Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter

is this recommended?

You should get the Asus PCE-AC88 if you want the best. Review on blacktubi site here: https://www.blacktubi.com/review/asus-pce-ac88-review/

For your reference.
I'm using unifi 100mbps, TPLink C2300, 2 storey house too, router at 1st floor center living space.
2.4ghz can cover whole house with max 100mbps except grand floor toilet (closed door) at corner, about 10-20 mbps.
5ghz can cover 1st floor with strong signal and speed, but ground floor cannot cover all corner and speed < 100mbps.

Therefore, if you are ok with 2.4ghz to cover whole house is good enough. (Which i doing now)
If you prefer 5ghz, you may need go towards mesh wifi.

ok

Thanks Sifu
