If on a separate supply, won't work.
If you are using a good wifi router, may be able to work direct. Else, pull a network cable over and put up an AP. |

I'm running an Asus AC5300 router in a 2-storey house. In your experience, do you think I should separate the 2 4 and 5 GHz bands, or let the router manage the band sharing? |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Apr 3 2021, 07:25 PM) Hello all, I need router recommendation for my new house. It’s relatively a small house, only around 805sqft. However, I will have a lot of smart home devices connected to the router. So I will need to ensure my connection is strong all the time at every corner of the house and also at the main door as I have a camera and smart lock installed. If it's a relatively small space, take a look at the Asus AX3000. I've had good experiences with this, getting up to 200+ Mhz all over my 2 storey link house on a Unifi 500 connection. And it's around your budget. I will temporarily subscribe to Digi or Celcom Fibre before subscribing to TIME. TIME confirms it will come to my place eventually but needs some time. Eventually I may subscribe a minimum 500Mbps plan. Any router that is around RM 500 or I can stretch to RM 600? Must be able to use for all above ISPs. None of my devices will be connected via wired LAN, pure wireless connection. Should I also invest into Mesh system? Last but not least, it must be fast to reconnect back if there’s any disconnection or router restarts. I will prefer Asus due to its consistent update but if other brands are also good and easy to set up, I’m OK. I’m not so good in networking technical stuff but the basic knowledge I’m still OK, so long it has clear tutorial for me to follow. I will need it only in 2-3 months time, so I still have time for this. Feel free to suggest ya. Thanks! 2 main plus points on top of the coverage. It's Asus so you can add almost any other Asus router to form an Aimesh network if you need mesh later. Even an old one, or a small plug in repeater. Secondly it's wifi 6 (AX) so future proof, at least for a while. This post has been edited by kkm: Apr 4 2021, 10:49 AM |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Apr 8 2021, 09:27 PM) Alright, I take your advice on that as many of my stuff are IoT. I will probably choose AC86u then, I saw it is less than RM 500 on Shopee. Less than rm500? Got so cheap meh? Should be 600+, unless you catch a sale offer...If can use for another 3 years I think good enough for the money spent. |

QUOTE(pokeat @ Apr 12 2021, 05:21 AM) Planning to get TUF AX3000 for my house. 900sq ft unit, master bedroom(at the end of living hall) has bad wifi signal. I have LAN Cable connected to Bedroom 3 just next to living hall where I put my Main Router and Modem. My plan is 300mbps unifi, so far using AC1200 by TM lol cos I bought a faulty TP LINK AX5400 from Mono and threw the box lol. If not serious gaming, I suggest start with just the AX3000 first and see how the coverage is. May be good enough for you.U think TUF AX3000(living hall) AiMesh + Asus AX55(Bedroom 3) would be good ? I need good wifi signal in Master bedroom Can always add the AX55 or AX56u later if you think you need it. This post has been edited by kkm: Apr 12 2021, 03:47 PM |

QUOTE(kk131 @ Apr 18 2021, 05:02 PM) Are you sure the phone is connected to the router? The fibre terminates in an ONT box with ethernet port for the router and a phone port. You can change the ISP provided router for your own. Unless maxis fibre tech has changed, I remember the VOIP phone port is on their router, unlike Unifi which uses the fibre ONT.There's no 'modem', that's what we used to have in the dial-up days. So if you want to continue to use the phone line, simplest way is to connect a new router to the maxis router as an AP. But not the most elegant solution, you end up with 3 boxes. |
