noticed 87U is 4 lan port.

is there a specific lan port for unifi IPTV?  coz  there got 8 lan ports. 

normal asus router  will specify lan 4 - unifi IPTV.

please help?

Hi

I'm on Unifi 800 mbps, currently using stock TP Link C1200 router but Wifi does not reach some areas of my house even on 2.4G.
Thinking of upgrading to TP Link C3150. Is this the best value for its price range around or are there other routers i should consider? Budget <1k

Thanks

RT-AX92U will definitely be faster as it is Tri-Band and it uses Wireless AX as backhaul.

But the price is much higher as well.

I am comparing a Tri-Band mesh WiFi against a Dual-Band mesh WiFi.  A Tri-Band mesh WiFi system will be faster as the backhaul bandwidth is not shared. Yes, the difference in a router will be negligible but it is rather significant in a mesh WiFi system.

In a dual-band mesh WiFi system, the existing band will be reused resulting in halved the bandwidth.

Eg: Take the TP-Link Deco M5 for example as it is easier to explain. It is AC1300 867Mbps + 400Mbps.
The peak capacity of the second node is left up to 433Mbps due to halved bandwidth as it is shared with the backhaul. After considering interference, it will be around 250Mbps peak.

The Deco M9 Plus is AC2200 867Mbps + 867Mbps + 400mbps.
With Tri-Band will always able to deliver 867Mbps peak backhaul capacity as the existing radio is not shared for the backhaul connection. Resulting in 867Mbps peak capacity. After considering interference, it will be around 500Mbps on second node.

Back to the RT-AC86U twin pack. 5Ghz is up to 2167Mbps
On the second node, the peak capacity will be 1083.5Mbps.

On RT-AX92U twin pack. 5Ghz is up to 4804Mbps if you use the full 160Mhz Wireless AX.
On the second node, the peak capacity is 2404Mbps.

While these are just specs, the real world performance can only be displayed in testing and I tested all 4 models I mentioned above.

Hi Sifus,

Planning to upgrade my old router since my unifi had been turbo'ed to 800mbps.

House type: Townhouse
Size of house: 1,200sqf / 1 floor
Features required: Antivirus & VPN
Number of devices connected to WiFi: 5~10 for now
Internet Speed: Unifi 800Mbps
Budget: <RM1k

Been looking at blacktubi's recommended routers, e.g. TP Link's C4000 & C5400 as well as Asus AC88U. Any recommendation on which should I go for... or should I wait for the AX versions to be out before changing?

Hope to receive some advice... thanks in advance!

House type: condo
Size of house: 1400sqft
Features required: 3 brick walls to penetrate, best if can get 5G
Number of devices connected to WiFi: up to 4 devices
Internet Speed:500mbps
Budget: as long it works

Looking at RT-AX56U, RT-AC68U, C2300, not sure which has better wall penetration. Thanks for the advise from sifu.

Would like to get some feedback on wifi range extender.

I am currently using ASUS wifi router and planning to get a wifi range extender. Will there be an issue/ downside if the wifi range extender is of different brand?

Not more than 5.

I recently upgraded to 100Mbps under Maxis Fibre/Astro IPTV internet. Before upgrade, I’ve been using the RT-AC1300UHP router. Works wonders.

I’m living with my family in a (roughly 2500sqft) double storey house. The living room close to entrance is however considered as a dead/blind spot. I would like to seek suggestions on upgrading the router for future proofing purposes and most importantly with wider range, preferably of the same ASUS brand with any budget.

Could anyone suggest me a good one without compromising the 5Ghz band as well? Thank you.

Can you check whether the AX20 supports Access Point mode or not.
If yes, then connect via WAN Port then to existing router LAN Port 1.
Or LAN 1 Port to LAN 1 Port.

Thanks.

yeah...my office stock router dlink dir-850l , so i deemed changing the router to tp link ax10 will improve the wifi speed at least but to my surprise it getting worse than the dlink dir-850l. not sure what is the reason behind. i put back to my home can easily run full speed 300mbps wifi for my 300mbps fibre plan

Just upgraded from stock router to the AX20.
Wifi speed is the same as the old one, only getting between 300-400mbps on my 500mbps plan. Even on ethernet also the same.
I thought it is the old router that I can't get to full speed so dunno what's the bottleneck.

I'm sorry that you got confused here.   
What I meant is.

Maxis router remain --> Connect VOIP to the original stock Maxis Router --> Connect from LAN 1 Port of the router to the new router. Like create an access point.

The Maxis router disable the Wi-Fi.

Thanks.

Yeah I understand that it's on best effort basis but I'm just kinda expecting more. Not to mention most of the time +-300mbps is the max and 400mbps is extremely rare.
I'm suspecting it is the connection between router and btu that causing the bottleneck although it's CAT5E cable. Maybe I should try and see whether using CAT6 or higher would improves it or not.

Im looking for a router. Currently using Unifi 800Mbps. Current router is TP link  AC1200. Everytime check speedtest using pc/landcable oni around 500Mbps. Any recommendation on router?

AX56U only 2 antenna & AX20 have 4 antenna..
In terms of WiFi coverage range, which one is better?

Archer AX20 is using the same Broadcom 1.5Ghz Quad-Core CPU as RT-AX56U.

The Archer AX10 and ASUS RT-AX3000 uses the triple-core CPU from Broadcom.

if change new router can make wifi 2.4ghz support 100mbps ?

bacause now the wifi 2.4ghz maximum speed lock at 30mbps only

wanna check, does the TP-Link OneMesh system half the bandwidth available like wat normal range extender does?

and guys how do you normally test ur local wifi speed? i mean the communication between router and PC. cos my line 100mbps only, max also can test 100mbps, but i wanna test like using Plex media player for my TV, which requires much higher bitrate.

I thought it would be OK for a global set, was expecting 2-3 signal bars, mana tau 🤦‍♂️

Looks like I need to get a TP Link AX20 then. Would the TP Link AX20 wifi signal coverage able to cover a double storey terrace?
