Hi there, currently I'm using DLink's 850L running on unifi's 100 Mbps line and its located at ground floor while my desktop is located one floor above connected through Wifi. It seems like my connection isn't that stable as in it keeps disconnecting off and on for a few seconds causing stream to buffer and sometimes pages even showed "No internet connection".
So what I would like to know is it due to my router's weak signal? Will it improve if i changed to say a TP-Link A6? Thank you.

Thank you so much for your feedback, I have read your post including from soonwai & blactubi, you guys have put that very2 well and I understand more around router, WiFi and overall network.

As you have suggested I browse through lazada to buy c2300 but stumble upon this dlink dir-895L which price has been dropped significantly.. I can get around rm830 compared to c2300 rm550.

My question : do you think the 300 increase in price would result in significant difference in terms of performance in my home network.

Device that connected to network at home
1) laptop lenovo thinkpad t480 - capable 5g
2) laptop Lenovo ideapad ultrabook - capable 5g
3) Astro beyond decoder - connect through 5g
4) Sony tv - wired (for Netflix, amazon prime & YouTube)
5) Lg TV 2nd floor (for Netflix, Amazon prime, youtube & astroGo)- capable of 5g
6) iPhone XR- play pubg
7) Xiomi mi max 3 - only 2.4g
8) Ps4 - connect via WiFi 5g

Basically that’s pretty much the client/device that connected to my home network. Do you think that c2300 is enough and stable or dir-895L will bring significant or improve performance for the price

Get the C2300. DIR-895L won’t bring significant or improve performance. If you want something really good, get the C5400X, but that is overkill. C2300 is more than good enough, and you can save your money to buy Deco M5 if you need WAP.

Thanks for your feedback, I’ll have a look as well at deco m5.

i see, thks again... VR600V cheaper by rm125 too...

I'm subscribe to streamyx 8mbps. can someone suggest me router that can utilise the speed to the max. cause default router is horrible with the speed and coverage of wifi is terrible too. please suggest with affordable price of course. thanks

Guys, i am using c7 now. Apparently it cannot link 3 units of my xiaomi cctv. 2 of it bought from taobao china, another 1 from local store. Problem would be same and tested under another router it can be connected. Anyone facing same problem as me?

Or can i get asus 86u to resolve this issue?

Hi guys, I'm using time 500mbps. Should I get tplink c2300 or Asus rt-ac1300uhp? Or any other recommendations ?

Thanks !

Hi, TP-Link C2300 is definitely the best choice.
Suitable for your TIME 500Mbps.

Thanks

VR600V by TP-Link.

Disable IPv6?

anyone here using D-Link 895-L ? Having issues with it with Unifi 500. Signal from router is literally 1 bar, 3-4 meters away from it with no obstruction at 5ghz.

Setting up the router, already notice that its signal is crap. Got it brand new from lazada for RM 829 (thought it was a steal, since I saw the ad on lazada).

After setting up, on 5ghz, getting around 5-10 mbps on wireless AC. Transmission strength is maxed (high) in settings.

2.4 ghz, 1 wall away and i cant see the SSID anymore

Did some reading online and found out its discontinued long ago... yet every 'unifi turbo guide' recommends it for 800mbps

Any help will be kindly appreciated.

Hardware is faulty, return it within the 14 days return period.

The DIR-895L is actually quite a decent router.

Disabled. Still the same. Used in random cafe and tried connect. It works, but in my house.

Return it. Get the TP-Link C2300.

Hmmm, try with a different router? Latest firmware?

Called OOKAS D-Link technical support, they told me to 'return it for inspection' even when its DOA
Guess thats the last time i'm ordering from them.

C2300 or C3150? C2300 seems to have a faster dual core CPU vs the C3150. Or maybe the new C2600 (Archer A10) ?

Hi, mind to tell which model of modem router using now and how horrible is the performance? And of course, let everyone know your budget so we able to propose the right model.

Hi, have you try just put the camera next to you router and see can the camera scan your router or not? Btw, mind to tell which model is your old router?

Tp-Link Archer C2300 have much better specs and features compare to the RT-AC1300UHP. Just go for C2300 if your budget is there.

Get the C2300. I am surprised. OOKAS has good service usually. Just return it to them, and ask for a refund.

Just return under Lazada 14 days return policy if you bought it from Lazada.

C2300 have a newer and faster CPU than C3150. Archer A10 is affordable series, I personally compared it and found that the C2300 actually perform better.

ASUS RT-AC86U is also a good choice if you have the budget for it.
