QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Nov 16 2018, 09:58 PM) To expand the wireless range.. right now, im using c7 as main router and c20 as repeater (using bridging function).. wifi coverage is good but c20 has hardware limitation and cannot utilize unifi 500mbps.. |

QUOTE(FusionXY @ Nov 17 2018, 09:01 AM) You can get the Archer C7 V5 which have Bridging function. unifi notify me that i will get 500mbps in the future.. right now, the speed still 50mbps.. my c7 is v4 and LAN cable is not possible due to location problem.. so far, for 2.4ghz, both router can give 50++mbps even at the kitchen but for 5ghz, it will vary according to device range, cannot get full speed, needs to be really close or no obstacles.. my budget is around rm800 and below.. it will be nice if i can get only one router functioning, less hassle.. but it may give wifi coverage problem because my house is 2 storey bungalow..As C20 is limited to 100Mbps only. Cannot guarantee will get the same speed near the router. My suggestion is to put LAN Cable from your main router to your place that you want to expand. What's your C7 hardware version? Let me know what are the speed results? 1. Near the router 2. Further away connect to C7 3. Further away connect to C20 Since your C7 is only AC1750, I recommend you to get AC1750 or below. What's your budget on getting new router? Thanks QUOTE(SilentVampire @ Nov 17 2018, 09:55 AM) I suggest getting the TP-Link C3150 v2 as your main router and your coverage problem will be solved, rather than using two separate routers. c3150 can cover whole house? i noticed, the price is quite good for its tier..This post has been edited by hanaxxaru: Nov 17 2018, 05:15 PM |

QUOTE(FusionXY @ Nov 17 2018, 05:38 PM) You may get the TP-Link C3150 as SilentVampire recommended. Using one router can save electricity. You may sell the C7 and C20 once you bought new router. i bought c3150 during lazada 10-12 december sales.. arrived today and it worked flawlessly.. i'm really happy as it gives great speed and coverage.. i no longer need two router, just one to rule the house.. Get it when he replies you about the coverage to you. Thanks |
