hi guys, just wanna ask if my planned setup is ideal for 300mbps?

current setup
modem - huawei HG8240w
router - innatech rg4332 (this router sucks balls even on 30mbps)

planned setup
modem - reuse huawei hg82402
router - mi router 3g (because budget around 200 only) <maybe can recommend other routers too

another question, im having a 300mbps 2.4ghz band only pcie card on my desktop, will it be recommended to change this to a pcie or usb 3.0 adapter dual band and high speed?

much appreciated!

With your budget being that small for a router, you can't get any decent routers with that. Increase it and get the Tenda routers which are cheap for their performance. See 1st page, 1st post, green text, for router recommendations.

You can't use Mi Router and I wouldn't recommend it as they do not support VLAN tagging and you will need to get a separate switch that supports VLAN tagging, and Mi Router 3G might not support 300 Mbps on LAN as there might be CPU bottleneck which limits your LAN speed, even though it has gigabit ports. You will probably hit 100 - 200Mbps, slightly more if you are lucky.

Yes, change it to PCIe or USB3.0 dual band. You will need to be on 5GHz AC, 80MHz, to enjoy the full turbo speed of 300Mbps.

i actually contacted the seller and they said already flash custom firmware and will support unifi, so i wasnt sure.
the biggest reason for me to consider mi router 3g is because of the specs
MediaTek MT7621AT (880 MHz, 2 cores), 128MB ROM, 256MB of RAM, 2.4GHz ( 300Mbps ) and 5GHz ( 867Mbps ). all for rm160

then i think need to see around. hmmm~~

Don't underestimate the Mi Router 3G, it comes with serious good SoC for the price it is sold however lack of VLAN tagging support is a problem.

Flashing custom firmware defeats the purpose of getting this router as the LEDE firmware (the only custom firmware available) doesn't seems to have NAT boost (or whatever you call it CTF/NAT acceleration) support.

noted with that. then i will opt for brands listed in the first page. probably need up budget to around 300? which is the best pick eh? for 300mbps boosted
