QUOTE(zher4883 @ Sep 2 2021, 01:39 PM) I would suggest push the budget a little bit and get the TP-Link Archer AX20. I had been using this for quite while with around 10 connected device at 100Mbps. The AX20 is a great choice, however I am not incline to overkill with the router selection since my place is just a small home with small family. I would give it a go if I were to have more devices using the WiFi. Are there other options? Priority on stability (24x7) and after sales (in case anything went south). Thank you |

QUOTE(zher4883 @ Sep 3 2021, 08:01 AM) I provide suggestion based on assumption that you might be looking for router that you could utilize the full 300Mbps even from quite a distance from it. Will target for WiFi6 router. Preparing this for 9.9 purchase Other option you could consider is the Mercusys MR70X. I wouldn't recommend getting router that aren't WiFi-6 compatible.  Many thanks for the suggestion. QUOTE(tvcat @ Sep 3 2021, 08:28 AM) Budget too low for a better one Asus RT-AC68U is abit overkill for my small setup.Move the router to open space Try changing different channel on the WiFi Update router firmware Do not stack the router on top of other devices Better option would be Asus RT-AC68U If I happen to move to a bigger place / more devices, will consider this model, thank you for the recommendation. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Sep 3 2021, 07:35 PM) Let me give you an alternate choice Read the review from blacktubi, the rating for C80 is on the higher side.Archer C80 from TP-Link It's better than budget WiFi 6 routers out there and more than enough for 300Mbps However, would like to obtain WiFi 6 router to perform some test and experiment.  For the price, would get AX20 instead. QUOTE(Candy12 @ Sep 3 2021, 08:06 PM) Sub RM200 WiFi 6 routers you have 4 choices: Not into D-link and Tenda brand as of now.D-Link EXO Mesh DIR-X1560 AX1500 router Mercusys MR70X Tenda TX3 TP-Link AX10 Out of the four, the Tenda TX3 is the only one with quad-core CPU. Nevertheless, I had watched the Tenda video and it is interesting, but will reserve for future. For the remaining two, we've got the answer.  Many thanks for the recommendation. |

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Sep 4 2021, 04:26 PM) There's so many wrong information here MR70X is way affordable compared to the AX10. The Mercusys MR70X is based on Mediatek. How I know it? I took it apart and inspect the PCB when doing my review. I will recommend the MR70X than AX10 due to 2.4Ghz being significantly faster. For the AX10 vs AX20 price, AX20 is just a few ringgits away. Any plan to review the Tenda TX3? Or the review will only take place for certain brands? |
