I guess it's time for me to give some input, on saturday time authorised installer came over and install the new dir-882, the speed test he have done shows it top at 900mbps ish which is fine for me.

Well due to my house structure issue I need to use powerline to get a stable connection as the deepest room is not able to get good wifi signal..I bought 2 unit of TP-Link PA4010P to get full coverage in my house(keep in mind I already know the downside would be I am not getting full speed but I aim for stability anyway)

So back to the topic...using the AV500 powerline and running the dir-850l as an access point...I get around 30mbps ish speed for up/down stream on both WIFI and LAN connection..

The thing you can take away is that powerline significant reduce the speed

side note if anyone of you wish to tryout on the TP-Link PA4010 powerline you can PM me as I have an extra pair currently (might think of selling it off)

of course not lol...its LAN connection speed

i nvr tried speed-testing it i remember the installer tested it and got 382mbps (not sure its on 5Ghz or 2.4) and then he tells me because my dad is watching video on youtube hence the speed could not reach higher (which i i think its bullshit if i understand MU-MIMO correctly) will try it tonight if ur keen to know

I did a speed test on the dir 882 at 5am in the morning...
speed test conducted using Ookla speedtest app on my Pixel2 XL connected to 5Ghz WIFI and standing right beside the router



will do a more thorough test when I have time

also dun ask me why am I still up at 5am lol

anyway the speed doesn't mean much as real world scenario it's quite hard to get this speed

hey guys want to know what are the modes of supplying power to these mesh wifi router? the router need to be near a power plug? asking cause the best spot to put the router in my house may not have a power plug nearby to supply power to the router

nah just for home use cause powerline really cant satisfy my speed hunger and I dont have power plug at a convenient enough spot to setup these router so kinda in dilemma now...thanks for answer bro

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

I am not using those WIFI extender kind just the ethernet kind so I don't think there are any config that can be done. Recently move my desktop to the furthest room in the house and the performance of the adapter drop another 10%

ahh that is quite good though I do not need such feature lol

I don't have any power socket lying in the middle of the house so that was what stopping me from buying the deco in the first place lol

damn u made me question my general Internet knowledge for a awhile there==

first thing u should know is that ipv6 doesn't provide faster connection speed, u can see ipv6 as a substitute once we run out of address space that ipv4 can address

next read up a little on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WIFI on google and you will know why 5Ghz WIFI provide faster speed than your 2.4Ghz WIFI

mine seems fine, im in setapak btw

I'm on Cloudflare DNS but there are still some connectivity issues, ex: my Dropbox service is still in connecting status, my Spotify doesn't let me play any song but I can still remote to my workplace...

Wondering what is the issue here...

EDIT: After restarting my PC everything is back to normal, hmm what was happening this morning then since I am on Cloudflare DNS from the start...
