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.

Currently out of stock in the entire market. Somehow the demand for this model is super good. sweat.gif

Haha. was afraid of that. Heard it is quite affordable for the performance it is giving cry.gif

What do you think of the Archer C5400? How much of a performance upgrade can I expect from the C5400? Does it have a further house wifi coverage (both 2.5ghz and 5ghz) with all those antennas it has?

C5400 is actually my daily driver for a long time now.

C5400 is literally the C3150 with an extra 5Ghz band, they are very similar device but with beefier specs.

It comes with 8 antennas. To be frank, the signal output is rather similar with C3150, what it excels is the performance when you have many devices connected.

No worries. Glad to help thumbup.gif

He recommended the AmplifiHD as it is the first UBNT product for home networking, instead of their normal line of APs, which could require a steep learning curve in learning and configuration, while this is designed for straight out of the box use, similar to other consumer routers. So, this is like getting an enterprise product but having the ease of use of home networking product.

See here for a comparison between this product and their enterprise product, the UniFi: https://michaelkummer.com/technology/amplif...s-unifi-review/

Before you start, check that your computer and router support Gigabit Ethernet by referring to the specs sheet. Make sure you use a CAT5E cable or better.

You can download this simple batch file to check your Gigabit link speed.
100000000 = 100Mbps
10000000000 = Gigabit

Connect your computer to your router and run the file to see see if the ports are Gigabit capable and repeat it with your BTU modem. If you do not get Gigabit speed but your equipment is Gigabit capable, check your wire and rerun the test with another computer and Ethernet cable. 

If your BTU is confirmed to be a Gigabit capable BTU, contact your ISP as they may have configured it wrongly.

What about WiFi speed?

Tough choice for me.

I would be more towards the C5400 as it has a better wireless coverage. I value wireless coverage over those features.

RT-AC86U still a great device coupled with AiMesh you can add another node to your network in the future. Not to mention AsusWRT is really feature rich.

M9 Plus is available in Sri Computer Low Yat Plaza, RM899, can negotiate if pay by cash, I just got a set of it, but 2 problems, 1st is IPv6 not working, no matter Dynamic IP or PPPoE, statefull or stateless, maybe gonna wait them to fix. 2nd is too easy to switch to 2.4GHz, maybe all mesh systems got the same problem too

Coverage is amazing, especially 2.4GHz, QoS surprisingly good, 802.11k, v, r supported, Orbi and Velop only has 802.11k, v, no r supported. Ethernet backhaul supported, but 2nd 5GHz not available for clients, only for backhaul. US selling this set for USD299, Netgear Orbi RBK40 is USD230, in Malaysia, RM899 for M9 Plus, RBK40 RM1799, if you compare the price between M5 and M9 Plus, it should be more than RM1500 for M9 Plus, I think because TP-Link is trying to grab market share in Malaysia, especially in this turbo moment.
