blacktubi or anyone else
Need help please. I have narrowed down my choices to TP-link MR200 or Huawei E5186 or Huawei E5577.  Having read reviews, it seems that Huawei is better than TP but am not sure how true it is if I'm using it in Malaysia under Yoodo (part of Celcom internet).

Huawei E5577 was recommended by someone in Yoodoo website (that's why I'm considering it) but am not sure how does it compare to my other 2 choices above. Also, read that Huawei E5186 is better than TP-link MR200 but for a IT noob like me, maybe not so advisable to get Huawei? Even for Huawei E5186, there's several types like E5186-22a, 61a. How do I choose?

With regards, to speed, if I can get at least 4Mbps I'm ok.

Am really at a loss.   Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the clarification. So far satisfy with the A6 but i motice that u need to be really near to the router to get the full speed. I was using 2.4 g and away around 8feet from the router and im able to get only around 50mbps. Side by side i get full 100mbps

Hi,

I have just bought TP link AC2300 and 800mbps:-

1) For wired, use CAT 6 and only able to get 600-700mbps for download

2) I use Iphone XS max and 5Ghz to connect, but only to get 300mbps.

Understand, wireless can't get full speed, but won't be difference so much.

Please advise

Yes, that is normal. Wired is still the best. The iPhone XS is only 2x2 MIMO, so you can't expect too much of it.

But Wired only able to 600-700mbps? Then I request downgrade to 500 better, no point to pay so high fee but only get 600.

Wired should be able to get full speed, but again that varies as TM will claim it is ‘best effort’.

Yes, that is unstable speed. Some time 600, some time 700, some time 750, some time drop back 650. I keep on complaint, now they only file in report and sent tech ppl to view.

Unstable when doing what? I can get stable speedtests of 830Mbps but it's not very productive.

I close all the apps, don't use handphone. Speed test a lot of times, some times 600, some times 500. some times 700, never get 800

So you doing speedtest? How? Where? What browser? It'll be much easier to diagnose your prob if you're more specific.

I use IE, Chrome, firefox, Edge to test. Test at home

On hardware specs , E5186 is better than TP-LInK MR200, since E5186 support CAT6 network which maximum download speed can up to 300Mbps, but of course your Telco need to provide this speed also lah, for now 300Mbps download speed still hard to get in Malaysia. MR200 is CAT4, maximum download speed is 150Mbps.

But one thing need to know that, seems most Huawei E5186 are imported Telco set, mean there are not official warranty by Huawei Malaysia, also warranty terms only 1 to 12 months (depends on seller). Not like MR200, which have official 3 years warranty by TP-LINK Malaysia.

E5577 is a portable router, not same range with above two.

Wow dlink ac5300 drop price to rm999 everywhere!! Anybody knows why?

Is anyone using D-Link 882? How is the wireless performance?

Wow dlink ac5300 drop price to rm999 everywhere!! Anybody knows why?

Now can get even lower than RM900. D-Link is declaring war with TP-Link, using this model to kill TP-Link C5400, C5400X and C3150.
You may check at user reviews, seems it have overall very good performance. So far no complains from our buyers yet 

It is on online exclusive model. Promotion at RM169 on Lazada Birthday recently.

Hi MGM, we actually recommend you to better wait until you get the A6 then only decide need an access point or not. TL-WR841N is too low specs for 300Mbps bandwidth. By the way, A6 able to work as access point also

If you really want to use to tahan for now, can oso lah, but need to expect the bandwidth via WiFi around 40-90mbps.

Delivery from Lazada normally is 2-4 working days, if peak season (like 11.11) 3-5 working days.
haha, thanks for your support  . I always silently reading and really thank you for supporting and recommending us.

My account created since 2012 but never posted anything haha, so this year I try to really start posting more 

wow. AC5300 pricing at RM825. so high spec but just a little bit more expensive than the blue cave ac2600 that I bought it last week at RM715. 

OOKAS or anyone, was trying to get the TP-Link MR200 but the store only had TP-Link MR400. Is it ok to get TP-Link MR400 instead? From 4gltemall comparison, MR400 seems to be better but when I looked at the buyer reviews on Lazada, nobody reviewed on MR400 but plenty of good reviews on MR200.
