I am quite confuse to tech thingy.. I have been using maxis fibre and the thomson router that comes default.. I think its been 6-7years since... I dont know if changing a new router (like got dual band etc) will makes speed better? coz especially on night time, there will be 3person in my house and it gets slow once shared...
any budget router to recommend? usage will be around 3person, usage is quite demanding like gaming, youtube surfing etc... probably I will buy online as well...

It is better if you can share more info about your situation, example your package bandwidth speed, budget for next router, etc, I might able to propose a right router for you. The router you having now should be a wireless N router with limited processing power, might not enough to serve this day usage.

Your budget is too low. That is a very old router. You definitely need to change it. How much are you paying for your current package? If you are paying more than the current offer, time to upgrade to a faster speed. Increase your budget. If you are not using the phone, get something good, or just upgrade your package and get a router from Maxis.

Please have a look at the new plans here: https://www.maxis.com.my/en/personal/intern...xisonehome.htmlTime to change plans and demand for free router! You could get 100Mbps, which is 3 times faster than your current speed for RM129, or same plan for just RM89! This post has been edited by SilentVampire: Mar 20 2019, 10:17 PM
