Anyone else notice that since the recent upgrade exercise that their router seems to drop the connection more often?

Router has beed rebooted 4 times in the past 3 days to reestablish a connection.

500Mbps in Damansara area, if it's any indication.

No, still the base DIR-850L from back when I first subscribed.

Pending purchase and arrival of newer router.

Just wondering whether it's a modem issue, router issue or a local TIME broadband node issue.

Never had it reset so frequently before this.

Maximum speed possible is 949Mbps due to Ethernet TCP overhead.

You get more than that is due to the inaccuracy with speedtest.net

Same chip with ROG GT-AC5300. C5400X is faster on USB performance and boot up stupidly fast. Routing and WiFi should be more or less the same.

Main differentiation is on feature.

Hi. I have read your review.

Need answers to a few questions.
This AC5400X boots faster than others? 35 seconds to load with Internet working.

May I know what is the purpose of link aggregation?
And how do the Dual WAN thingy works?
The 5GHz signal reception is very good?
Can get higher speed further away from the router?

Is it the best choice to upgrade to AC5400X from AC1900?
Dual Band and Tri-Band got a lot of differences?

Thanks.

Guys, I need some help here. I was using Xiaomi Router 3 all this while, and both wireless and wired speedtest able to get about 90mbps+ before TIME upgrade our package. After speed upgraded to 500mbps, it seems like no changes in terms of speed using my Xiaomi Router 3. Yesterday TIME came and installed the TP-Link router for me, wireless about to get about 150mbps (compared to my Xiaomi Router 3, 90mbps+) and wired able to get 510mbps (compared to my Xiaomi Router 3, 90mbps+).

When stream movies thru network using TP-Link AC1200, movies tend to buffer at times when connected to 2.4GHz, however Xiaomi Router 3 doesn't observed this issue. So I'll temporary switch back to my Xiaomi Router 3 at the moment.

Anyone know what's going on with my Xiaomi Router 3? I tried reset factory default for my Xiaomi Router 3 but still the same, speedtest can't get more than 100mbps despite TIME has already upgraded to 500mbps.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the info.
Should I wait till later or get the AC5400?

I realized that I need to re-boot my router everyday to achieve 900+ Mbps. If not, I will only achieve 300+ Mbps. After re-boot, I can achieve 900+ Mbps. I am using the AC5400X.

How's the performance for the powerline?

How fast is the speed ? I know expensive routers are the way to go but I have many walls in my home so even the most expensive wireless router will not give me the speeds I desire at the rooms located far away from the router. I'm using the Tenda AC 15 router - was good before - now with the 500 Mbps speed I can't achieve the published speed unless I'm very close to the router when on 5Ghz.

If it doesn't involve running cables then I'm ok - but need to figure out how it works for some places with no power adapter where I want to locate the module for the mesh wifi...

anyone can help to post out the ipv6 setting for dlink 850l ? I factory reset and did not copy the ipv6 setting . or advise how to set it back ? thanks

so this ipv6 doesnt really matter ?with or without it ?

Hello fellow veterans, I just got upgraded to 500mbps package without any contract running at the moment as I have finished my 24months like a month ago. My hardware spec & details below:

Router: Still using the existing DIR-850L from Time.
WiFi speed: Tested using MBP on 5ghz- 230mbps+- download; 210mbps+- upload. (next to the router)
Wired speed: Tested using my desktop Win8 with Cat5e cable- 510+mbps download; 430+- upload. (directly connected into the router in the living room)

However my desktop is situated in another area where there are no ethernet socket port. I want to know if using a Powerline Adapter (Let's say TP-Link TL-WPA7510 KIT or D-Link DHP-P601AV) is advisable? I know I can always connect it via WiFi but I prefer to utilise the much higher speed via wired connection.

Thank you and appreciate any feedback and comments from all you veterans here.

I'm refering to the reply below. How to access the NAT Boost from the Advance setting. Where to locate it? Tq

Advance > System Tools > System Parameters > NAT > NAT Boost (make sure checkbox is checked)

Please advise.. Noob here.
Is it from the System Properties > Advance or Internet Properties > Advance ?
Seems, i can not locate it ?

Sorry, I forgot to mention I'm using a Cat6 cable. Do you mind explaining a little more on the whole gigabit switch thing? Not very familiar with these terms. Thanks

Thanks. I've requested for the free TP-Link AC1200 from Time. Would that make the difference? Or do I still require a Ethernet switch to hit beyond 100Mbps? Sorry for all the questions.

Ah right, it's really really short though haha. Am actually using a desktop and it's all the way in my room. I'll test that out in a bit, though. Thanks a lot man! I'll update again in case it doesn't quite work. 

Still no luck unfortunately. I managed to snag a Cat5e cable from a friend to test against my newly bought Cat6 but same results. Still stuck on 100/100Mbps link speed.

I'm not sure if it's possible but could it be due to my mobo's LAN port being faulty?

Any recommended WIFI router to replace my DIR-850L?
My current package is 500Mbps
Budget RM300

Can anyone get speed up to 900+Mbps on the TP Link Archer C1200?

My max speed is 830 Mbps on this C1200.

Deco M9 can work with DIR882? I thought must work with only their own nodes?

How is the speed for the second node? or third if any?

@wirelessbuyer On my Zenfone 3 the Link Speed is 433Mbps. When I tried speedtest I'm only getting 129Mbps Down and 159Mbps UP, that is beside the router.

@Lord_Ashe Will try to change the channel.

Guys, I just install Time Fibre 100mbps today. I am using home plug to connect to my pc in my room, I only can get 33.4mbps download speed and 45.9mbps upload speed. Any idea what is the problem not getting upto 100mbps speed? Home plug problem? Home plug cable problem ? The home plug stated can reach upto 500mbps.

Could be home plug technology limitation. I’m using AV2 1200mbps plugs and I can only get around 150-200mbps internet at the study room.
