QUOTE(ryansxs @ Dec 12 2021, 09:57 AM) You can use the LAN as the backhaul for your internet. You can simply connect one end of the LAN to router and the other end of the LAN to a WIFI AP. What does it mean actually? Lol, sorry not well versed with networking lingo. You mean just get 2 of the same routers, and connected a LAN cable and one works as the main router, the other works as a 'WIFI AP' (is it a repeater?)

QUOTE(markypcs @ Dec 12 2021, 12:49 AM) Would you recommend this for 300 mbps plan? Asus RT-AX55 (twin pack) https://shopee.com.my/ASUS-Router-RT-AX55-A...c5-f14afbb0e08cAnd follow up question: Should I buy a slightly better router where the optic cable is, and buy a 'cheaper' router to pair with it? Does it help with the wifi strength and coverage? Do note that I have lan access for both positions in my house. I recommend you to get this TP-LINK-ARCHER-AX73 today got sale RM399 only https://shopee.com.my/TP-Link-Archer-AX73-A...11-cd02cc6c5a77review https://www.blacktubi.com/review/tp-link-archer-ax73/the coverage is damn good. with 512MB RAM it can handle multiple devices streaming 4K shouldnt be any problem

So buy 2 of them would be sufficient for a 2.8k space? Is there a limit to the number of routers I can add on?

Time has stopped offering TP-Link router on 1Gbps package and switch to Huawei HG8145X6 since early of December. Does anyone know if this is an upgrade or downgrade?

Currently I'm on 500mbps plan, if I renew the contract will I still enjoy this MYR10 discount-"Because you're awesome 2018" ? or I get on top additional MYR10 (total MYR20) ??

We will update from time to time for any bugs or issues that may arise. Thanks.

IMHO, the best setup will be 1 tri-band router+3 nodes my experience is with 2K space. you can experiment with your setup.

You better don’t bring so much of hope on that, my place signed the agreement form with time on 2018, they finish the internal fiber cabling work in my place on aug’20, guess what? Until now we still still getting nothing, hahaha, lame services. Reported to mcmc, Time feedback will finish the project by end of December, until now I see no progress at all, end of December is another stupid excuses
