QUOTE(OOKAS @ Apr 3 2019, 10:42 AM) Hi, MR400 is AC1200 and MR200 is AC750, mean MR400 can have higher maximum wireless speed compare to MR200. Other major specs are same. Still not seeing many reviews is because MR200 already in market for almost 3 years, but MR400 is just newly launched last month. Thanks

You get what you pay for See here for a review of all TP-Link adapters (not the cheap kind!): https://www.blacktubi.com/review/tp-link-wifi-adapter/

The best PCIE WiFi Adapter is ASUS PCE-AC58BT now. It comes with the latest Intel 9260 chipset with really good signal sensitivity. I reviewed it here.This post has been edited by blacktubi: Apr 4 2019, 02:17 PM

I am trying to configure DIR615(firmware7.19) as a wireless repeater but the video I got from google is on DIR615( firmware 20.07) with different interface. Now stuck dont know what to do.

stock firmware sucks.
if your router has flash memory and the model is supported, try to flash custom firmware such as DD-WRT to bring out the best in your router.

QUOTE(carlosandy @ Apr 1 2019, 11:01 AM) 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. Could be your pc/laptop. Are you using chrome? Try using Firefox browser when doing testing.

I always assumed that it's hardware bottleneck. But as someone said above, could also be anti virus slowing things down. You could always make a report to them to send someone over to check. Bear in mind there's a Rm53.00 fee unless really your line got problems, like for example the signal is low. But then you would face far more problems like frequent d/c and what not.
