Dlink as PPPOE dialer connected to ONU, considering stability, TIME's policy for troubleshooting later & customer's unit existing cable design.

1st Node of Deco is linked via old Cat5e cable which we cannot do anything. House size approx 4500 sq.ft.

@blacktubi I'm not expecting it to be the same with a wired connection. I am aware of the limitations. I'm just asking if anyone is experiencing this and if it is normal.

@ralyon Can you share your configuration on the 5Ghz setting?

As of now I'm the only one using the internet here in our condo unit. I'm using my Zenfone 3 and still can't get atleast 200Mbps @ 5Ghz. I'm also testing it beside my router.

Will be interesting to see how the newly-released Ubiquiti Amplifi Instant compares against these lot. Priced at USD179 for a pack of 2, it could turn out to be good value. Waiting for proper reviews now...

Thought I wanted to share some review for my 500Mbps network. I am using Asus RT-AC88U which I bought since 1 years+ ago when I was just having 100Mbps. My apartment is about 2500 sq ft and have thick walls. I wanted just a single WIFI router which can cover the entire house and this really performed well. Quite pricey as it cost me about RM 1.9k+ back then.

For my desktop which is about 30 feet away from the router with 2 walls in between, I upgraded to a WIFI Adapter, Asus PCE-AC88. From the windows adapter properties, my PC is connecting at 975mbps. For my Speedtest on Time's site, I am getting 350Mbps download and 482Mbps upload with 9ms ping.

Everything seems much faster now from web surfing, Netflix on AppleTV is loading 4K much faster, multiple streaming without an issue. Completely satisfied with this new upgrade!

Time now not known for its stability anymore.
Gone are the good old days.

Which Deco did you order?

Do test out for me ya.
Before and After ya.

One of the member here didn't give updates.
Hope you can test and stare it here.

Wanna how the speed look like from main deco and the secondary deco.

Thanks.

Thanks bro.

You bought the 2 or 3 pack type?

Appreciate your plan bro.
Can't wait for the results and the improvements.

Thanks.

hi, im interested in deco M9+ as well, do you guys mind sharing where you placed both units ? maybe a layout of the condo/apartment with the positions of the deco m9+ ? thanks a lot!

Can't wait for your test bro.
Do test out 2.4GHz connection speed on only 2.4GHz devices.
And 5GHz devices too.

Thanks.

You're using Unifi 300Mbps?
TIME doesn't have 300Mbps.
Try and test for me ya.
Test 5GHz devices too.
Including LAN Cable connection speed on 2nd Deco ya.

Thanks.

Got a bit of improvements over there.

Thanks.

thanks for the informative post!

For the speed to be good, I think the decos need to be in each other's line of sight ?

my unit's layout is the long type with multiple walls in between my living room and master bedroom, really headache if want to find a good position for the node unit =/

My case tested wall penetration for a 2 x 9" concrete room wall still able to achieve 1xx--2xxMbps on 2nd node, riding on 1Gbps line on AP mode (default Dlink DIR882 is cabled to Main Node of Deco M9 Plus).

Thats quite poor, considering the cost of a mesh router?

I was expecting the Deco M9 to hit at least 50% of the speed of the main node.

interesting I was planning to either buy the deco to setup the mesh network or manually pulling LAN cable, drill a hole and then setup an AP there... seems like the latter is the only choice I could go for to get high speed
p/s: currently using powerline but the performance is really bad sigh..

thanks for sharing ur setup and result 

TP-Link Deco can do such features?

Able to monitor which Apps or Website visited?
And switching off your kids Internet Access? Is it Parental Controls?
Got Antivirus?

Thanks.
