Hi Guys,

As usual my router is the Dlink DIR-850L and I've been upgraded to 500mbps.

Been getting download speed of 190~250mbps over Wi-fi (5ghz) with my note 8 (standing right next to the router). If i move further away, the download speed dropped till about 100mbps

With Lan Cat5E + laptop i was able to achieve 480mbps.

Called Time and the customer sevice guy advised me to redeem the free TP-Link AC1200 router from selfcare.time.com.my and it can help me achieve better WIFI speed.

I am wondering if this TP-Link AC1200 would make any difference to my WIFI speed?
If the difference is very small, I dont think its worthwhile for me to redeem it as there will be a 24-month contract renewal.

Any advice guys?

I get up to 500Mbps on WiFi, but when my computer is connected to LAN, it's still capped at 100Mbps. Same as my TV on LAN. Is there a setting I'm missing? Using default Huawei and D-Link 850L and all cables are CAT 5e. Just strange that WiFi is over 200Mbps on all devices but LAN is not.

I am also facing the same issue as u..then i checked my laptop network card is 100mbps speed so that's why cant go higher on wired..my dlink 868l is an ac1750 router and can get around 130++mbps max only..prob need a better router...i am upgraded for 500mbps and also called up time tech support to reser their end

Check yr computer network card..most likely it's up to 100mbps only

Maybe. So I guess the Samsung UHD TV also have a 100Mbps limit because mine can't go beyond on LAN or WiFi.

500mbps my a$$....getting not even close to it. (getting around 150mbps)
-checked with 2 routers (asus 1300, and tplink 1200)
-direct connect to router using CAT6 cable for testing
-checked optical power. its OK

damn it!

The dlink 850L is also ac1200, similar to the tplink..no diff in my opinion unless u get the ac2000+ or ac3200 routers

Probably as well..for your computer u check at the network settings area and see what's your network card speed

Ya tell me about it..i tested on dlink ac1750 router and max 130++mbps only..tech reset port over their end and now 93mbps LOL

Nope. It won’t. Check the link on my signature for list of compatible routers. You should get the C2300 for the chance of getting 500Mbps.

Yep, check the router to see if you have set your LAN port to 1000Mbps manually. See page 55: https://4amlxms1bqq223a181oxyv35-wpengine.n..._2.00_EN_US.pdf

Thanks for your reply bro.
Anyway, the product features of the tplink ac1200 says it has "Achievable speeds of up to 450Mbps over WiFi."

Wonder how accurate is this.

Most of UHD TV has Ethernet card (LAN port) 10/100Mbps.
I check yesterday my Sharp UA6800X.....on LAN only 95Mbps.
WiFi 2.4 and 5GHz is OK.

Thanks for your reply bro.
If i purchase the C2300 myself, I wouldn't know how to set up the router.

Is there a guide somewhere for me to refer to for installation/set up?

I can assist you to setup 3rd party router.

First thing, get the PPPOE details ready.

Thanks.

Neh..u wont get that speed..max i think 100+mbps only

Arround 300Mbps on 5GHZ.

those of you on 500mbps/1gbps but still getting 100mbps up/down on wired, make sure your network adapter is configured to 1gbps

also if you're on cat6 cable and you cant enable 1gbps on your network settings, make sure you plugged the cable properly. sometimes the port might be a master or slave and so you will have to plug the cable accordingly.

Not possible. Probably 100-200 in real life.

Easy. Just have your PPPoE details ready.

My Samsung S5 on stock router AC1200.......WiFi 5GHz




Edit:

My new AC2300 can achive arround 400Mbps on WiFi 5.
