House type: Condo Size of house: 800 Features required: n/a Number of devices connected to WiFi: 30 Internet Speed: 600mbps Budget: less than 500
Hi, I'm currently using TP-Link ec230, the speed very slow, sometimes less than 300mbps. Thinking to upgrade the router to have better coverage too. Current using the modem come from Time, which is Huawei echolife HG8240H5, when I change router, does this need to upgrade as well? Thanks

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Aug 9 2025, 05:19 PM) 800sqft should be fine with just a single router with strong coverage
ASUS TUF-AX4200 or TP-Link Archer AX73 but I heard it's discontinued now Thanks for the suggestion, but I already bought the AX72 Pro. it's working okay on 5ghz, however it's very bad in 2.4ghz. when I run speed test, only able to get less than 100mbps in devices. Do you have any idea why it's so bad? I tried to change channel, but still same.
