you can route the fibre cable to other location and they will use hotglue to stick the fibre.

Time got any promotion now? MY unifi plan expired and plan change to Time.

My house layout look almost exactly like yours. And also same positioning for the router on the X mark (the crappy Huawei one provided by TIME). The signal is not so good from my master bedroom. The provided mesh also not helpful and keep disconnecting. Hoping to have a better range with this rt-ax1800hp.

Ic, which location point, u place your mesh?

Btw, when the TIME guy come install, they wont check connection inside master bedroom?

Go their website, 500mbps promo

The mesh installed in my master bedroom. I took it down since it keep disconnecting all the time. The technician will tell us to check, but obviously the issue wont happen at that moment.

I mean is there a wall between your router & mesh?

Thanks for the advise on the mr-80x.
Are there any better router like archer ax-53 that provide higher WiFi performance and further wifi distance with 2 walls apart?

Getting the 500Mbps installed tomorrow.

Any tips for a first time TIME user in terms of installation, testing etc?

From my understanding reading through the last few pages, it is advisable to get a third party router and mesh to replace the ones provided by TIME. Do I need to replace 2 or just the router is enough?

Sadly my router doesn't have this option.

What is your router model and firmware version? Maybe i can try flashing onto it it is the same ones.

Try to use the default routers provided to set a baseline.
You can decide where to locate the point to put your first router.
Ensure you test the speed using LAN cable to get close to 500Mbps.

I will suggest 2 units of RT-AX1800HP with second unit in Bedroom 1

Else the speed won't be too great but it should be at least more usable

Got my internet set up today.

All done within 20 minutes.



Initially the router was placed at the living room TV area and the mesh was placed in Bedroom 2.

This set up resulted in weak connection in the Master Bedroom.

Moved the Mesh to Bedroom 1 and the connection is much better now.

In terms of speed, random testing yields the following results:

- Living Room ~500Mbps
- Bedroom 2 ~400Mbps
- Bedroom 1 ~200Mbps
- Master Bedroom ~170Mbps

I think the performance is alright.

Will a third party mesh able to boost the performance in the Bedroom 1 and Master Bedroom?

Can mesh work with other brands ?

It look like my house 🤣🤣🤣

It’s a very common layout for 1000-1200 3 bedroom condo

I’ve seen this at a lot condo projects

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, but it totally same layout haaha...

Btw I using ax73 (red) + RE705X (green), my master bedroom no issue with the connection. Just 5ghz not really good coverage but more than enough. But master bedroom toilet hardly got connection 😅..

Then I probably know where you are staying.

What speed you are getting in your master bedroom with your setup?
