TM TP-Link AC1200 is a crap version. It is better if he get the C7 v5 or v4.

Yes, they do work on the routers you mentioned, but if you want a built-in VPN server in the router’s firmware, you need to get a more expensive high end model.

Lol, hell will freeze over if they provide Cisco or Mikrotik. Both will require configuration and some networking knowledge to optimally use them to their full potential especially Cisco, and very limited GUI on them so you need the prerequisite CLI skills, so I don’t think TM will ever provide them.

Trendnet is interesting, but not well known here. I think TM will choose Tenda over Trendnet, for the cost and most people are familiar with them, as they are widely available.

There you go lol. There is that reason why they are not that widely known.

They have given you a router and BTU that support gigabit but only on wired, but you are on your own if you need full turbo wireless speed. If your BTU can’t support gigabit, you can demand for a new one, but not router, unless you sign another 24 months contract with them.

Did you read 1st page, 1st post, green text? Your DIR850L does not support 500Mbps on wireless.

You can't lol. Not possible. I would just get a proper switch. They are not expensive.

You can do that, if you want to. I lost mine already lol.

Yep, it is possible, but it is not optimal.

Could be, so he will have to configure it and see for himself. Thank you for the advice though.

Cheers for the image lol.

Post the speed test when it has finish the process and see if you still get 1.1Gbps? That image just shows that the speed test is being conducted and sometimes it can jump to a ridiculous speed. That is using Fast.com, true?

Yes, you are right. Try asking if you can top up RM30 to get the STB.

Every month, of course.

Nice one. How did you get that speed?

Gigabit router, change both. Asus RT-N14HP does not support 5GHz AC, and only N, and no gigabit ports. Refer to 1st page, 1st post, green text, for list of compatible routers, and other general info.

Yep, you are doing it right. Good job.

Tenda is still acceptable, and not that bad.

Of course lol

The retail version is V3, and the TM version is V1, with shitty firmware. So, that is to be expected.

Have similar hardware, but not similar firmware, unless you flash Merlin or something else.

Some. You just have to wait.

No retail version firmware available for V1 here unless you flash Aus or US version. All retail C1200 are V3, with improved hardware and firmware.

Still using C1200, I see.

Yes, but you seem to forget that if he stays on 2.4GHz, 35Mbps is normal, as the 2.4GHz is very congested and full of interference plus he might be far from the router.

They are starting to cap torrenting.

Of course, paid VPN.

It is normal. Thought I replied to you that your RT-N14UHP only has FE LAN ports, so only max 100Mbps even with wired. See 1st page, 1st post, green text, for list of compatible routers and other general info.

VPN set at router will require high-end expensive models, good luck.

You will be happy with the performance.

Using range extender is bad for the network. Yes, upgrade to C3140 and change laptop network adapter.

Did you read 1st page, 1st post, green text? C1200 is crap. I would recommend changing router to something better, preferably the Archer C7 v5 or v4.
