Need some router expert help, been online for hours and still can't find what I need bangwall.gif bangwall.gif bangwall.gif

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!

What's the diff between the AX1800 and AX3000 and is the AC2400 any good?

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.
