Hi all, been reading through the threads, Generally people find ASUS router has better quality and more stable, while TPlink is cheaper.

I am in a dilemma, if my budget is rm500 I can consider something like Asus RT-AX56u or TPlink AX73. Spec wise the Ax73 seems miles ahead of the RT-AX56U, can can anyone advise which should i get?

TP-Link AX73 will be your best choice.
If you don't mind spending more, then you can get TP-Link AX90 or ASUS RT-AX3000.
Most people said ASUS is good because their firmware got update even for older models.
If tight budget then TP-Link. I am using TP-Link as well, Archer C9.
Might get ASUS in the future once my old one start to behave funny.

I understand the firmware is better, but what about the signal strength and stability? previously i used some tplink wifi dongles and experience frequent disconnection.

However ASUS price vs TPlink comparing same spec is almost 2x more expensive.
