Using Mesh Router will be more better than Homeplug.
Using Homeplug will reduce your speed by half.

There is no good homeplug.
Homeplug not so stable.
My suggestion is to get Mesh Router.

Thanks.

Hi. Are you using Hypptv?

I would recommend you Asus Lyra.

Thanks.

AC2200 or AC1750 (Trio Mesh)?

The Deco Mesh products (M5, M9) from TP-Link may have hypptv problems, I hear.

TQ

Hi. Choose ASUS AC2200.
You can get it from OOKAS for below RM 1K.

TP-Link Deco doesn't support Hypptv for now.

Thanks.

Mine's a double storey. Mainly using tplink 500mbps homeplugs for my PC/laptops in the computer room 20 feet from the router. Upstairs basically using wifi.

When on 50 mbps, my old PC can get about 28 mbps. will know more when i install the new router (just order Archer AC2300) - but after reading about Mesh, may want to change to one. What's your advice? TQ

Hi, you ordered from which shop?
If can cancel then cancel.

One of the member using Mesh on 500Mbps able to get 400Mbps in the room via LAN Cable in Condo.
May I know whether you're using Laptop or Desktop?
You can connect the PCs to the 2nd Mesh Node via LAN to have a stable Internet.

Thanks.

I bought it from m2express/mono digital on shopee.

Heard that tp-link don't do updates for their older routers but Asus does.

I'm on PC but my 2 kids are using their laptops, mostly for gaming.

Will be buying Lyra Mesh AC2200 today.

sorry not that tech savvy to understand "2nd Mesh Node via LAN" - what's this?

TQ smile.gif

Ya. TP-Link is called Sell and Abandon.

What I mean is that Asus Lyra has three pack.
The main, 2nd and 3rd.
Each of them has two LAN Ports.
For example, you put the 2nd one in your room.
You can connect the PC to the LAN Port on the 2nd ASUS Lyra.
Your kids are in another room?

ASUS Lyra can make your house full signal. If signal too weak may reduce the speed.
You may read the instructions here

Thanks.

All 3 of us are in the computer room.

The reviews look good. Will install the 2nd pack in the computer room & the 3rd pack upstairs.

Will plug the 1st pack onto the homeplug to see what are the homeplugs speed like...

Thanks bro. thumbsup.gif
