hi , i am not sure how to ask this, but i am on 800Mbps unifi at the moment, the question is
what router is best value for money for gaming stability on Cable connection,
i was using the tm provided dlink 842 Tm firmware and its horible( tm build in dns server connection ) , so i swap back to my trusty old Dlink 615 .
yes i know its only 100Mbps support but stable .and i am happy .
so what can you recomand which is not pocket burning and best value for money for gaming, and downloading/streaming? without having to restart every week/day.

i was recomanded to get tp-link ac2300 or asus rt ac3200

Thanks!

Wifi speedtest need depend on your device.
Phone maximum I can achieve 300 mbps only.
PC connected to ASUS AC68 adapter I can achieve speedtest as per Ookla (1st pic)
TM speedtest of full 800 mbps, of cuz by connected to LAN Cat 5e cable.

Bro thanks for your suggestion.

How to know if the new router is better than my current router in terms of wifi coverage? How to check?

I saw this from OOKAS:
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/tp-link-...s299922006.html

How to know if get this already dun need to get extender ah? RM590 not cheap investment.

If I get mesh wifi, do I still need to use my tenda router?

P/S: Wah mesh wifi not cheap oso, RM 1.2K  sweat.gif

Mesh wifi (ASUS) suggest can from Tmall (China), at least half cheaper than Malaysia unit, just cannot cover Malaysia warranty. Any warranty claims need to send back to China.
I got my AC86U less than RM 600. (include shipping fee)
