You can get this from our Shopee or Lazada store.

I thought of buying TPlink TL-WR841n(rm59) for use with my Unifi300mbps this couple of days and will use as backup/repeater later while waiting for A6.
TPlink TL-WR841n can be used for Unifi right? BTW how fast is the delivery if bought from Lazada?

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 smile.gif

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.

Hi, welcome to this forum smile.gif I have been recommending you guys for a long time now, and glad to see that you finally have a presence here smile.gif
I suggest not getting that. It only supports N and is very basic, plus it only has FE ports, so maximum speed it can support is only 100Mbps.
*
haha, thanks for your support notworthy.gif . 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 smile.gif

Bought A6 from ookas. Speed not bad and range similiar asus rtn12hp.
5gh can reach 310mbps
2.4g can reach only up to 100mbps.
Tested side by side with router

Hi maruteamatklang, thanks for the support.

Just to elaborate more on the difference between Archer A6 and ASUS RT-N12HP

A6 is AC1200 dual band + Gigabit Ethernet
RT-N12HP is N300 + Fast Ethernet.

Which means RT-N12HP suit for bandwidth package 100Mbps or lower. A6 recommend for 100Mbps to 500Mbps bandwidth.

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. cry.gif  Any help is appreciated.
*
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.

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
*
This is normal to 2.4Ghz, speed will drop a lot Vs distance due to high interference on 2.4Ghz. Try change to the least busy channel at your area for 2.4Ghz, it might help. But of course, connect to 5Ghz is still the best solution.

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.

QUOTE(crayonhuat @ Apr 2 2019, 02:59 PM)
Is anyone using D-Link 882? How is the wireless performance?
*
You may check at user reviews, seems it have overall very good performance. So far no complains from our buyers yet smile.gif

Suggest you look at blacktubi's review: https://www.blacktubi.com/review/d-link-dir-882-review/

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.
*
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.

Depends on best in which term you are referring to. You may consider TP-LINK VR600V, a AC1600 VDSL modem router, and quite strong in every spec.

You may consider TP-LINK VR600V, and AC1600 VDSL modem router. It definitely have better coverage and stability compare to that DL4480. Another lower price option is D-Link DSL-2877AL, this is a wifi coverage king.

Anyone know will mesh better setup for two storey house? Not very big house semi d. Now using 68u but at 1st floor cannot get full speed 500mbps. Thinking shud go mesh or 86u. Tried pc and iphone all speed max can get is 300+mbps.
*
No matter which solution you use, you will not get full speed as you just stand next to the router. Also don't forget the client (your device) WiFi's specs does affect the final speed as well. For mesh WiFi, maybe you can consider TP-Link Deco M9 Plus.

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

Hi, just want to ask, I am not sure if I were to replace my tm router, dlink ac1200 giga lan , on 800Mbps unifi

was going to change to to Asus rt86u my friend said its overkill.
Want to change the current router Because of its tm firmware force to connect to somewhere as stated in the home menu of the router and it feel slow.

If I wanted a stable router with a cheaper option for ( gaming , torrent , NOx streaming) and I am focus in cable
And good recommendation beside that I was looking at (asus rt 86u ).
thanks in advance for the inputs.

RT-AC86U is an AC2900 router, local new set should over RM1000. You can get TP-LINK C3150 or C4000 with lower price, but newer hardware and technology.
