@SilentVampire,
Oh, AC1200 cannot enjoy the 1Gbps even with network cable?

From:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3913842/+10740#

We are piled up with hundreds of work orders including those free routers installations 

Sorry to say this: I worry later there are a lot of customer complaint that they cannot get 1Gbps with WiFi after installed, pay more but cannot enjoy the 1Gbps speed ... because not everyone will use network cable 

Ya lo Bro... some of those not understanding ppl even refused to let the Installer leave their house.

Any recommendation on WiFi gigabit router? Gonna upgrade myself rather than redeem from Time's website .. which wifi speed only up to 500mbps yet need to renew contract.. not worth it..

Sifu here please advise. Can dlink 890l support 500mb time?

If I go with the free router upgrade the previous router is still mine right? I'm using a tm ac1200 which I converted to time with a firmware upgrade. It works great with 300mbps before but since they upgraded me to 1gbps, nothing really changes with my wireless speed.

My wired sometimes do 500mbps now but I'm curious what a ac2600 router can do.

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

What's Asus' equivalent of TPLink Archer C3150?

RT-AC88U?

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?

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)

Hi Guys,

As usual my router is the Dlink DIR-850L and I've been upgraded to 500mbps.

Been getting 190 - 250mbps over Wi-fi with my note 8 (standing right next to the router).

With Lan Cat5E + laptop i was able to achieve 480mbps.

Called Time and the customer sevice guy advised me to redeem the free TP-Link AC1200 router from selfcare.time.com.my and it can help me achieve better speed.

I am wondering if this TP-Link AC1200 would make any difference to my WIFI speed?
If the difference is very small, I dont think its worthwhile for me to redeem it as there will be a 24-month contract renewal.

Any advice guys?

I get up to 500Mbps on WiFi, but when my computer is connected to LAN, it's still capped at 100Mbps. Same as my TV on LAN. Is there a setting I'm missing? Using default Huawei and D-Link 850L and all cables are CAT 5e. Just strange that WiFi is over 200Mbps on all devices but LAN is not.

Thanks for your reply bro.
Anyway, the product features of the tplink ac1200 says it has "Achievable speeds of up to 450Mbps over WiFi."

Wonder how accurate is this.

Thanks for your reply bro.
If i purchase the C2300 myself, I wouldn't know how to set up the router.

Is there a guide somewhere for me to refer to for installation/set up?

Edit:

My new AC2300 can achive arround 400Mbps on WiFi 5.

Hi SilentVampire,

Thanks for your recommendation for the C2300.

However, since we can get a D-Link DIR-882 from Time for only RM550 and free installation, should I get this DIR-882 instead of the C2300?

In your list of compatible routers, you have listed the D-Link DIR-882 can achieve up to 800mbps but the product features in Time selfcare only shows "Achievable speeds of up to 500Mbps over WiFi". (please refer to attachment).

What is your take on this bro?

Sorry for asking noob questions as I just want to make sure I am making the right decision before pulling the trigger.

Thanks in advance

Got my upgrade today, tested on lan with ~500mb UL/DL but managed to get around 230mbps on my note 8 and my pc that is connected to my alfa AWUS1900. Besides the receiving end, any way for me to improve this? Now still using stock ac1200

Sigh... Just wondering, whats the max speed i should expect if i upgrade the router alone. Can my phone hit and pc hit 500mbps?

Asus rtac1300uhp vs dlink dir882, which one better for my 500mbps plan? Or any other suggestion? Ac1200 cant give me good speed on wifi

does anyone knows how to login to the Huawei HG 8240H GPON ? my Time technician told me the port configured incorrectly, thats why im getting 100mbps despite upgraded to 500.

My connection speed gets 500Mbps when connected direct from router (AC1200 from TIME) to PC with CAT6 cable. However, when I connected via TP-Link Powerline TL-WPA8630P Kit AC1200 with CAT6 cable, my speed only gets 250++Mbps. On wifi speed also only get 200++Mbps, which is quite disappointed.

Is that common? I thought this Powerline can support up to 867Mbps with 5Ghz as per described on the box.

My PC located another room, so I really need powerline to connect, I don't want to have super long cable connect from router to PC.

Say, i want to ask. Is there beamforming in the tplink AC1900? How do i enable this? Do i need to enable beamforming in my devices too to take advantage of it?

im switching from unifi to time. Need some advice from u guys. Will POWERLINE WiFi EXTENDER be suitable for condo? I want to install it specific to my gaming room.

Gaming, always use wired. So yes, it is recommended.

Powerline still better than Wifi, no? Havent tried it myself though. I only use it for normal usage.

Previously i state will test powerline to somebody here, sorry forgot who. Here's some result:
Internet speed: 500Mbps
Software: Speedtest (Windows 10 app) using TIME server.
Router: Tplink C1200
Powerline adapter: Aztech 500Mbps model.
Test done from Bedroom:
1. Using 1Gbps USB 3.0 to Gigabit adapter - 115Mbps download, 12x Mbps upload. Latency 6 or 7.
2. Using my laptop built in Wifi N - slow until i don't want to say.
3. Using T9UH USB 3.0 adapter - 300Mbps download, 250 to 300 Mbps upload. Latency 2 to 3.

Test done next to router: (test is running while wife watching kdrama on a htpc connected via wired - can't tell wife to switch off kdrama...)

1. Using T9UH USB 3.0 adapter - 353Mbps Down / 341 Mbps Up. Latency 3. (TIME server)
2. Using T9UH USB 3.0 adapter - 367Mbps Down / 89  Mbps Up. Latency 4. (MacroLynx  server)
3. Using T9UH USB 3.0 adapter - 342Mbps Down / 298 Mbps Up. Latency 5. (DIGI server)
4. Using T9UH USB 3.0 adapter - 357Mbps Down / 383 Mbps Up. Latency 7. (TELEKOM server)

Hope these result is helpful.

My conclusion: Powerline adapter is only good up to 100Mbps internet. If you have > 100Mbps, please use Wifi AC with a good wifi adapter.

Unifi thread breakdown...haha

Forgot to mention my setup is something like:

Router -- cat6 cable -- powerline  ----> powerline -- cat 6 cable --- desktop

Hey guys, is the Archer C7 sufficient to use for 500Mbps? Looking for around 400Mbps over 802.11ac 5GHz with 2x2 MIMO.

Any suggestions for a wireless WiFi extender for the TP Link C1200 ?
Cannot get WiFi connection in one of my bedrooms.
I am in an apartments where the walls are thick.🙁
