Why not go with TP-Link BE500?

I was using TUF-AX5400 in a 800+ sqft condo, both coverage looks the same to me.
Except Asus offer better software eg: USB application and more details view of usage report.

Only single unit to cover the whole house. So far I am ok with the speed. Router in the living room, whole house got the coverage.
But I not sure wifi 7 coverage since I don't have any wifi device. I bought the BE550 simply because of the design and price.

I don't really bother on full speed. As long as I can stream any media content (Netflix/Youtube) at highest quality, then I am fine with it.

I bought TUF-AX5400 (RM400+) end of last year, then got the BE550 (RM600+) last month.

Lazada. You just missed the boat. Wait 8.8 for discount.

I bought from TP-Link official store. But I suggest you just go for the cheapest store.

Anyway, placed ordered for 200Mbps initially, but only realized that 200Mbps behind CGNAT. End up call them to withdraw the 200Mbps and submit 600Mbps package.

Technician came to install the broadband today. They only setup the main router since I don't need the mesh. I am using the TP-Link BE550. And I am less impressed with TIME technician compared to Maxis/UniFi technician I dealt last time. They don't even do speedtest with the main router. And I do not get the 600M/500M speed.
I can only get 530M/350M speed with LAN.

Gonna submit report to TIME. And as per someone comment, speed to China really shitty. Aqara app keep connection timeout when connect to CN server.

Since I just moved from Maxis to TIME, let's see how good/bad the service it is. Anyway, tied with 2 years contract.

One of the reasons that I have TIME in office, and the Smokeping graph always looks good and low latency to some of the websites.

Maybe he did but didn't show me. But none of the test I did meet the speed I subscribed. And he only asked me to enter information, signed this and that.

After setup, he doesn't even clean up properly. The fiber cover he just left in on the floor.

My Maxis contract just ended. So change to TIME with 2 years contract. But now I realized that the price difference among ISP quite close now. TIME don't have the great advantage now.

I asked different "Ninja" via live chat. None of them can get me the confirm answer that able to request public IP on 200Mbps package. One of the "Ninja" even told me that they won't know if 200Mbps behind CGNAT or not. I will only know after the installation.

I don't want to take the risk that if I get 200Mbps, and behind CGNAT. And I don't think they will offer me RM99 for the first 6 months if I upgrade from 200Mbps to 600Mbps.

I couldn't tell the performance of WiFi 7 since I don't have any WiFi 7 device. But overall I am pleased with the performance and coverage compare to the Asus TUF-AX5400. Somehow I need to schedule restart the Asus router every night, else the Asus router will act weirdly, either WiFi slow/speed drop.

The TP-Link router got a great design, WiFi coverage my whole house. But software less polished than Asus. The USB application for file/media sharing not so great. And some performance report/security features lock behind paywall.

The installer never clean up at all.
I received the report. He never showed me when he did those tests. In the LAN speedtest section, the screenshot from phone. And I never achieve the 600Mbps at all with my test.

This is vague because the "Ninja" said can only check after the installation. And couldn't tell able to change to non-CGNAT or not. If they can't change, then I am gonna stuck with 200Mbps for the next 2 years.

I wonder if I upgrade from 200M to 600M still get the sign-up benefit, aka RM99 for first 6 months or not. But anyway, signed up and install. So forget it.

Do TIME offer free speed upgrade for business plan? Or they offer for consumer only?

Changing from old 100Mbps plan to current 100Mbps plan required recontract on TIME business.

My Youtube suddenly take times to load on my TV last night. I thought what's wrong with it. Then suddenly recall that it happened to me last time when I using Maxis Fiber that behind CGNAT. Check my IP again just now, TIME also curi curi changed my IP to CGNAT IP.

Bloody TIME, this is the 2nd time within 1 year they reset the ONU profile from bridge mode to router mode and I loss my Internet for few hours.

Live chat / called them to check.

Can 200Mbps request to get public IP? Or they only offer to 600Mbps and above?

You can contact them via Live Chat. They will enable the downgrade option for 24 hours in the self service portal.

Not even call to request it? As their agent said OK in Live Chat.
