Need some router expert help, been online for hours and still can't find what I need House type: Condo Size of house: 900 Features required: future proof with Wifi 6 I guess, plus support NAS Number of devices connected to WiFi:almost 10 devices (laptops, phones, tablets, google speakers, TV) Internet Speed: now 24Mbps but I've loved to get about 1000Mbps one day Budget: depends on quality but not more than RM 600 Personally leaning towards Asus, don't mind D-Link but just want it to last for the next 5 years. Last NetGear WNDR4300 died think due to heat or something. Thanks a bunch guys!

QUOTE(wirelessbuyer @ Feb 23 2021, 07:09 PM) You may consider tplink archer ax73 RM400 for its value for money. Many fellow friends here are also suggesting it, btw I'm using it too in a 1000sqft apartment and so far has been working excellent for me. For asus you may consider tuf ax-3000 or ax-58u, a bit above your budget but sometime you can get it on sale at shopee/lazada around RM550-600. AX1800 means 574Mbps at 2.4GHz + 1,201Mbps at 5GHz @ 80MHz = ~1800Mbps theoretical speed AX3000 means 574Mbps at 2.4GHz + 2,402Mbps at 5GHz @ 160MHz = ~3000Mbps theoretical speed Since you want to future proof yourself with wifi6, just buy wifi6 router and skip any wifi5 router aka ac2400 TQ buddy! I'll go with AX1800 since I don't think I'll ever get speed over 1800Mbps with a sound mind. Too much money for not so needed bang.
