For 500mbps Unifi,

Is it better to get the
1) D-link DIR-867
or
2) Tenda AC18

I find a pretty alright price for both, Tenda AC18 is about rm70 cheaper.

I searched Blacktubi's website, and i find D-link DIR-867 and no Tenda AC18 review.

I've looked up Tenda's specification, it seems to be able to support up to 600mbps for 2.4 GHz, so it shouldnt bottleneck the speed I am getting, if any.

I see no reason to not get the AC18, other than maybe brand not established (?, sorry i am very noob at this networking thing, all ive heard of it D-link and TP-link) or maybe its harder to set up or something?

I would very appreciate if someone can help me by telling me how the DIR 867 is better than the AC 18. Thanks in advance.

U mean for the Tenda right.

Does chipset also affect the wifi range. Coz right now, for wireless devices, i only have mobile phones at home while my desktop and tv is hooked on ethernet cable. 100 mbps might still be acceptable, but im concerned about the range/penetration ( if say same floor and only 1 wall to penetrate anywhere, as i would want to set up AP with my old router or use range extenders for upstairs.

Btw, thank you for your guides and reviews on your website. It has been really informative
