just received turbo upgrade to 300mbps and still using huawei HG8240w + RG-Innatech-RG4332, was thinking of spending to get a better router to support current speed upgrade and future upgrade prolly upto 800mbps+ (anything around or below rm400 and since lazada/shopee having a 12.12 promo).

was looking at TP-Link Archer series such as C6/7/9 and also DIR-867, which one are best suited for my plan? or all of them are almost the same. also do i need to get a new modem from tm?
thanks!

cheaper option is better biggrin.gif

IMHO, go for either the C6 or DIR-867.

867/878/882 have the exact same chipset and all perform the same signal strength wise. They are just configured differently.

878 is better than C9 due to the much newer chipset and C6 is the best RM200 router you can buy now.

Only a handful of devices will benefit from the DIR-878 over the DIR-867.

I think i will be getting the DIR-867 since it has a bit better wireless signal strength and speed, and also capable of supporting upto 800mbps over wired connection. Fit my bills for future speed upgrade on wired connection and wireless connection.
Thanks blacktubi love your review site helps alot!
