Not familiar with your router, maybe other sifu here can help. but for me with AC1200 all is on default setting without tuning anything to it.

My desktop with Wifi was able to get 200~300 depend on the mood of my PC

My iPhone 6s can hit 300 consistently.

1st important point is "how many people share?"? If 4 or more people use it, then everyone can enjoy youtube / online streaming smoothly. If just 1 or 2 person, depends on what the usage, if streaming movie/drama/youtube, now can stream higher quality (2k or 4k).
Another usage is download FHD, 2K or 4K (25GB to 50GB+) movies and can enjoy after maybe 5 or 10 minutes

Boh huat eh..this is our responsibility... hhahaa

Just to add, when testing make sure you're not using Powerline adapters. Was using Aztech's HL128EP right now and only hitting 300Mbps. When using cable directly to router (Archer C3200) can reach 1Gbps.

I'm guessing the noise or some setting maxing it out at 300Mbps. Time to buy new lan cables

It will be a significant difference. A mid-range router can't compare with a high-range router.

Powerline is crap. Absolutely unreliable and not worth the money.

bcox of ur powerline model limitation, av1000 and above should get better speed result

Will time replace the old router? Im still using D-Link DIR-850L Router..

Yes you can. Just login to selfcare portal to do it.

What's Asus' equivalent of TPLink Archer C3150?

RT-AC88U?

jjj2 any idea what is causing my connection to disconnect?

Done pppoe connection,after a while it will just hang. When i try to dial again it says password incorrect.

I have to keep resetting modem. Sometimes it work sometimes it doeant. Seem like my port is limited to 500mbps still? ( instead of 1gbps).

* got momentary reach 980mbps after that it just auto disconnect. Even succesaful login only 500mbps afterwards.

Can you report that selfcare is down? It let me login but after that nothing. It just keeps on loading.

Just when I decided to upgrade my router. 😁

wuhoooo.....!!

RT-AC86U.

Power cycle, turn off both modem and router. Turn on the modem and wait until its done starting up. Once the connection light is on turn on the router.

haha saw sifu always recommending the RT-AC86U. Really that good? but quite pricey leh.. any similar performance router which is cheaper?

Guys, how come my internet speed no difference? It's still the same as 100mbps even though I was upgraded to 500mbps. Is there any configurations that I need to set? Or do I need to buy new wireless router?

I saw one selling at RM569 @ lazada ... Bought it immediately else no point haveing 1Gbps speed

Oh, not AC88U?

C3150 = AC3150
AC86U = AC2900
AC88U = AC3100

Or is it need to compare other aspect as well? Tq sifu

(I refer spec with respect to each product page at their website)

What model you bought?

Thanks

Check your cable from fiber modem to router.

Make sure your router lan is a gigabit lan. Connect a cat5e cable or above to your laptop or desktop. Run speed test.
