I just got turboboost today from 30 to 300mbps But my WiFi 5g just able to get 150mbps next to it. Nothing blocking the signal. Any idea ?
My analogy could be flawed, correct me of im wrong... Equate the wireless tramsmission speed to car top speed; router grade AC1200, AC1750 etc as engine displacement. To get higher and stable speed over a long distance, u need to produce more powerful wave. In order to do so, that requires more energy, u can see that the high end router's adapter is similar to laptop's having more than 2.0A of electricity flow which is comparable to fuel consumption of a high displacement cc engine. If u want wider coverage and higher actual speed, look for the "ACxxxx" grade as general guideline, dont look for dbi or the so called high power antenna. U can notice that as the AC number goes up, so does the power rating or Ampere. U want stronger signal, u require more energy, no shortcut about it. For 300M, get at least AC1750 to be safe imo.
Then there's the channel thingy, 2x2 etc. Furthermore u need to tally that with your client's NIC specs to determine what kind of wifi speed u shud be expecting.

I'm using 100mbps and planning to get a new router. I see page 1 got a few recommendations, but are all those just plug and play? Or do I need to do setup? Which one should I get that can be straight use without configuration?
Well, look around online for emulators and setup videos to get a hold of the setup interface before buying. Most home use routers have 1st time setup wizard that will guide u through the input of parameters. To be safe, get a router that has local support that's using Malaysia firmware so that u have preconfigured VLAN settings specific to Malaysia ISP. These 4 inputs, no shortcut about it: pppoe username n pw; wifi ssid/name & wifi pw.
