After scouring through the threads at LYN, if (this is a big IF) I go for TP-LINK Archer C3150:

1. Will it just be an overkill?

2. Or will It consider future proofing?

3. Better router = better coverage, no?

Many thanks again for any feedback given.

Hi, TP-Link Archer C3150 will be good for you.
Need to ask the guy SilentVampire to comment as he is using this C3150.
You're using Hypptv?

If you want speed and coverage of 300Mbps upstairs.
Then I suggest you to get Deco M5 which are able to support 300Mbps.
The problem is that if wanna use Hypptv with Deco need to buy a separate Smart Switch.

Yup, Unifi TV is my other source of entertainment apart from the usual Netflix, YouTube etc.

Or maybe I opt for a slightly lower speed router, Archer C9 or C7, no?

I've read blacktubi's blog on his experience with C3150. Sounds good.

Thanks FusionXY for your feedback.

1. Nope, it won’t be an overkill.

2. Yes, it will be future proofing.

3. Much better coverage if you use C3150.

It is a very stable and good router, and definitely worth it.

Cheers for the tag.

Cheers SilentVampire. Much appreciated

You can get C3150 as he said it is good.
You may place the order now. Last day of having year end sales.

Thanks.

Not a fan of C9 and C7 as they comes with an older chipset which perform slower.

C2300 is also something worth considering.

Thanks blacktubi. Ended with C3150 during the dying minutes of 12/12 last night, Ookas on Lazada for RM635. I read somewhere that stated C2300 got issue with Unifi TV

Good to see that you manage to get such speed. From my side here, I can't seem to get that kind of speed. I am using Asus RT-AC66U which support 1300Mbps at 5Ghz and TPLink Archer T8E PCI-E which also support 1300Mbps at 5GHz. I can get a link of 1.3Gbps but the transfer speed I only can get 3XXMbps.

Distance between router is around 8 feet and nothing between them. Tried all the channels but the max I can get is still 3XXMbps. is there anything that I am missing out? Having this issue for years but cant seem to find the problem.

You're using 500Mbps plan?
For 5GHz try the channel that is the lowest.
And set bandwidth to 80MHz.

Thanks.

No no, I am only using 30Mbps plan but I am not referring to ISP. I am doing WiFi Transfer within my own network and the ISP internet speed should not be in the Picture.

Tried setting the bandwidth to 20/40/80MHz, didnt help much in my case.

Oh, I'm sorry that I can't help much as I'm don't do Wi-Fi Transfer.

Need some an expert guy here.

Thanks.

Wifi transfer? U transfering files between pc?

Which protocol? FTP/SMB?

Currently using Dlink AC1200 router that TM supplied. Just wondering, in my hostel got 10-11 devices connected to the network, if all of them connect to the 5ghz band will there be some bottleneck issues?

Was told by some to use 2.4ghz network for devices like phones and tablet to reduce a supposed "congestion" on the 5ghz band.

But does it really work that way?

Hi. Any guideline how to do perform iperf on wifi speed stability? Im on ac86u aimesh system.

Sry. Double post. Network issue celcom

got turbo ed to 800 Mbps

Huawei HG8240w (modem) --> Linksys WRT 1900 ACS (router) -- > Linksys 16 port Gigabit Switch -- > Cisco 2700 with 2.4 and 5 GHZ radio

Max speed i can get via wifi from iphone X (5 GHZ radio) being 3 feet away from ap cisco 2700 = 92.7 Mbps download / 82.3 upload.

Max speed i can get via wifi from iphone X (5 GHZ radio) being 3 feet away from Linksys WRT 1900 ACS = 90 Mbps download / 81 upload.

I have double confirmed the Iphone X wifi connection is via the 5ghz band

Question

1)92.7 Mbps download speed on 5 GHZ is PATHETIC.....can anyone help ?

hi
i'm using archer t9uh wireless adapter and archer c9 router.
but both of my download and upload speed can only achieve around 200mbps. upload speed has no issue as the unifi 800mbps only provide 200mbps upload speed.
tested ethernet cable with the same pc, can achieve 800mbps download speed.

i have no idea where is the problem coming from. i placed my wireless adapter under my router, which is put on top of the shelf, short distance in between. plugged into usb3.0 port as well.

after reading post on earlier page,
even stock tm unifi ac1200 is achieving 200mbps for 300mbps package. it seems impossible for 800mbps package and ac1900 user to achieve above 200mbps.

Seen your other post. Did you consider trying with another router?

I am assuming you are using 5GHz AC? Set it to any channel above 130 and to 80MHz, and see if that helps.
