House type: Condo

Router is in next door apartment which is my mothers house. house is side by side with shared living room wall..router is place just beside the dividing wall

previously pc was at my house living room so can get full speed and can game without ping spike

pc move to middle room..signal in windows 11 still shows full bar but speed was reduce to around 100mbps and got a lot ping spikes.

Planning on replacement router that can give extra speed and range just to cover the connection in the middle room for pc..other places is already covered with wifi not needed the highest speed as long wifi is connected is enough

current router: maxis kaon ar2140

Size of house: 1 floor 800 sqft x 2 = around 1700sqft

Features required: not sure if use any

Number of devices connected to WiFi: around 20

Internet Speed: maxis 300mbps on tm infra
considering upgrade in 2 months to 500mbps

Budget: below 500 the cheaper the better

Change to Archer AX73 and upgrade the WiFi card at your computer

If it's already Intel AX200 / AX210 WiFi card then no need to upgrade.

THANKS for the suggestion, now using wifi card tplink tx2oe, ax210 is currently being shipped from china.

was initially looking at ax73, tenda rx27 pro ( wifi 6e to complement ax210) and also found cheap ax86u in shopee maybe telco set from another country. i think thats all on my list for sub rm500 router

Do wifi 6e perform better in my case?

also found your review of ax73 on your website and currently looking for the best deal online

Stick to 5GHz for long distance performance.

IMO, 6GHz on low end routers are pointless, they are too weak to be usable. Currently only those high end routers offer usable 6GHz performance.

Avoid cheap grey import RT-AX86U on Shopee, those are refurbished unit and known to fail prematurely. Stick to Malaysia dealers / official. Sidenote, AX86U is discontinued, current for sale is RT-AX86U PRO model.

okay i see then ill get the ax73 for peace of mind and most value for money for my case.

thanks blacktubi appreciate your help
