Hi guys!

Big noob q here. I have 2 of these currently.

Router ASUS Wireless-AC1200 Dual Band: https://www.asus.com/my/networking-iot-serv...ters/rt-ac1200/
Modem HUAWEI EchoLife HG8240H: https://www.batna24.com/en/p/huawei-hg8240h-ont-rmmkj

Am currently on TIME, on a diff owner account. Debating if I should just get them to convert/transfer ownership to me, or get a new account (24-month contract tho..) to enjoy new router/modem/mesh. I believe I'm currently on 500mbps as well. I'm very inexperienced with anything to do with connectivity.

Question:

1. Is the current modem+router I have enough to support 500Mbps or 1Gbps? If not, what's a decently priced solution for this? Or should I just go for a new contract to get new stuffs?
2. If I do just transfer ownership, and I do opt for 1Gbps, will I have to do any manual installation or whatever? Not sure if I'm IT-savvy enough to do this. unker dah.

Thanks in advance ya fellow lyns.


Edit: Double checked--am on 1Gbps, but still feel slow AF when downloading. Phone currently charged at RM10 per month, with a phone that doesn't even work
