D-Link L7-N-R2000

i already terminate wifi...

Read already. It doesn't talk about MU MIMO.

Parked.

I'm on Unifi 300Mbps...Will this Tenda AC10U be suffice to get the max speed or should I get something else. 😀😀

See my signature for a better suggestions for list of compatible routers for 300Mbps. I recommend another router, preferably the Tenda AC18.

Cool... Thanks bruhh .. 👍👍

Hitting 200Mbps or less on WiFi is easy if both the transmitter and receiver is 2x2 on 5Ghz band.

But it gets trickier if you want to achieve more than 300Mbps. Most smartphone/tablet/laptop is still on 2x2 MIMO.

If you want to hit more than 300-500Mbps, you need at least 3x3 MIMO at both ends.

More than 500Mbps, at least 4x4 MIMO at both ends.

wifi (5g band) testing for 500mb TIME new router

Meaning that my phone which reaches 300mbps is actually maxed out?

Yes, in a way. It won’t go to 867Mbps, maybe max at 300Mbps.

Thanks for the info. Manage to get around 350mbps on 5ghz with TM stock router.

Im on unifi 500mbps. Using AC18. Wifi hovering around 440-510mbps with mbpr 2017 & xs max

Hi,

Thanks for having this informative thread. Highly appreciate it.

I got a few questions with regards to achieving maximum wifi speed. Please bear with me. Many thanks in advance for any response received.

I'll be receiving the Unifi Turbo upgrade soon, (within two weeks as advised by TM via phone call yesterday), from 30Mbps to 300Mbps. Below are my current 30Mbps setup. FYI, I'm staying in a double storey terrace. Router is downstairs in the living room next to the fibre termination point.





My computer is upstairs. Wifi extended via the Tenda A9 below.



I was told that TM's tech will be coming over to do some setting & change the router. I would assume they's be providing the stock TP-Link AC1200 (correct me if I'm wrong).

I was told, contract will be reset due to the router change or RM200 will be billed if I opt not to reset my contract. I opted to to be billed the RM200.

My questions:

1. Would it possible to change my mind and say no to the new router & purchase my own? If yes, what could I get for, let say budget of RM300.
2. Or, if I don't mind the contract reset, use the stock router first & buy new router later? Is the AC1200 any good, sufficient for double storey terrace?
3. And lastly, how do I achieve a reasonable wifi speed for my devices located upstairs; ie. my desktop computer, my kid's tablet, phones and what not. I read few threads not recommending wifi extender like what I'm using currently. What other solutions are out there?

Many thanks again.

this is probably the hottest question since last 2 months... "how to maximize wifi after turbo".

u can get yr own router - choice of router will be rm400-2k.

can read what others have taken pain to write in this n other threads on router recommendations but please note:

u not only need a good router but yr devices need to be good too - newer, 5ghz, 3x3, etc. to get high wifi speeds.

if u r not planning to change all of that, should lower expectations on older 2.4ghz devices.

i see u r now using rtn12 and a repeater.

i am now using rtac1300uhp with rtn12hp as repeater.

not best best results but acceptable:

My suggestion for you is to buy own router as the C1200 have random reboot issues.
TM won't give you a better router.
Budget of RM 300 won't give you a reasonable router.
Can top a bit.

Please state what are your receiving devices spec.
No point buying new routers if all devices are using 2.4GHz only.

Wi-Fi extender will give you half of the speed.

Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback AVFAN & FusionXY. Much appreciated!

You're welcome bro.

Have a nice day.

i was just turboed to 300mbps but is still on dlink wbr2300 which support only up to N protocol.
I am only getting 55mbps the most under N, is this acceptable? I thought N can goes up till 300mbps?

Hi. In real life you won't get 300Mbps if it is up to 300Mbps over Wi-Fi.

Over LAN can. Do change your router as it is outdated.
Do read out the Wi-Fi Router Discussion first page for new router suggestion and read the first page of this topic to learn how the Wi-Fi affected.
Wireless N in reality, up to 110Mbps only.

Thanks.
