Are these speedtest result consider ok from TP-Link C1200?

Mind to share what are the optimal setting I should set in my router in order to get the best out of my C1200 router?
May I know what is the optimal setting for the TP-Link C1200

Yup, I'm aware of the limit for the C1200. Already surveying the Asus RT-AC86U and RT-AC5300. Since the price is above the average, need more opinion from users here before commit into it.

I'm staying in a 2sty landed with about BUA of 2800sf.

Previously my C1200 was placed at the TV cabinet inside living hall, together with the BTU. Coverage was ok for most of the area, except 2 room which is located on the rear of 1st floor.

Now I moved the router to the 1st floor family area, coverage wise is ok for most of the area, except kitchen on the ground floor.
So between the AC86U & AC5300, which one has better wifi coverage, heat management, and pros & cons of each model?

I couldn't find the RRP for both the model, except those imported units from China. Wanna do a comparison on the pricing between local manufacturer warranty & local supplier warranty units.

I'm still very noob in networking. Need to study more on the WDS mode and Ai Mesh mode before going for my next router.

But basically the RT-AC5300 give me the impression of wider wifi coverage compare to the RT-AC86U. If compare spec sheets, AC86U seems to have higher processor clock speed and more flash memory compare to the AC5300. Not very sure whether these 2 spec affect much in the performance or not.
Btw, is there a setting in our smartphone / router whereby when a device detected the wifi signal is weak for one band, it will auto switch to another band with stronger coverage? Like 2.4Ghz to 5Ghz or wise versa?

Guys, i plan to switch to 100mbps RM129 (from old price of 30 mbps RM209  : contract long expired...). Ive a couple of questions:
1. Is it an uninterrupted internet upgrade? Do i have to pay hidden charges for such upgrade?
2. When TM upgrade its infrastructures to fibre, will this new package which i will subscribe by this year, be eligible for turbo ? Or would just be upgraded to 100mbps. (Currently max for my area is 30mbps. Ive considered going for the RM79 package, but its not for unlimited data usage.).
3. Whats the penalty,if prematurely cancel the new 2 year contract?
4. Can I take out their TV bundle, which i never will watch anyway....?
Kindly advise. Thanks.

What happen to my unifi? Suddenly revert back to 100mb stb best plan from 500mbps turbo plan. Anyone facing this?

Last time I'm on 50mbps with RM179/month. then go to tm to upgrade to 100mbps speed with RM129/month  since the turbo upgrade are damn slow and already successful half and hour after that. 1 day after that, tm suddenly gave me the 500mbps turbo plan but remain the old payment of RM179/month.

I already called and live chat them to confirm that the contract period will not be renew and also they will not revert it back to 100mbps plan and maintain the 500mbps speed.

Demn it, Already upgrade the router and all. what a wonderful thing TM have done here.

hi, that day technician came, and tested my internet speed by LAN cable, it was up too 750+Mbps for my 800Mbps plan. But 2 weeks after that, i tested by my own, it never went up to 400Mbps. Anyone wonders why?
