Hi dear sifus, so I just upgraded to 300mbps, any recommendation for which router to get in the market besides this 2 for best gaming experience with minimum lag or dc..

Currently I’m using this 2 router which is given to me by Abang tm, one is when I’m using 100mbps, another is when I upgraded to 300mpbs.







Thanks sifus!

Use the Tp-Link one, the Unifi one sucks.

Besides this 2 modem any other good modem you recommended? I saw in the market keep advertising this Asus rog gt- ax11000 but too expensive for me...

Sorry double post

I would recommend Asus brand personally, their firmware is stable and they provides firmware updates for years. The model depends on your budget.

For 300Mbps I would recommend, Asus RT-AC58U and Asus RT-AC1300UHP

Thanks bro

thats a router not modem.

go for Asus AC68 or AC86 or AC88

Ahh my mistake, just edited.. cuz My room is far. That’s why would prefer something with good beamforming.

TL-WR941HP

i use this , stable yes. But still not reach my expectation of range. Attached toilet in room still not enough strong signal

Hmm.. gaming wise acceptable?

Are you suggesting a Wireless N router for a 300Mbps user?

how much u pay for 300mbps now TS?

well, the archer c1200 also supports beamforming
no comment without speed test result
if long distance/hard penetration, you will end up using 2.4GHz anyway

what are you using on the other end (network adapter/pcie)?

you should also mention your budget cause you could try Asus AiMesh, etc

ASUS RT-AC86U or ASUS RT-AX88U

The archer c1200 certainly better than the Netis but not good enough, yet. If you're committed to use a router for long term, pick ASUS. Their routers may be pricey locally, but it is worth because you can always get firmware upgrades (if you don't familiar with firmware word, firmware = software in general term for non-tech enthusiasts). If you're following the trend, lets say migrating from Wi-Fi 5 (AC) routers to Wi-Fi 6 (AX) routers then after four years switch to Wi-Fi 7 (BE) routers, then pick TP-LINK. They're famous for giving a good farewell to their premium models after two years of launch. Some even lasted until a year. Example, C3150v1 & v2. TP-LINK focusing more on their new ax line-up models, comparing to ASUS, their AC routers still getting firmware upgrades. Well, you get for what you paid for.

If you are running out of budget right now and still collecting the money, you can use that tp-link, all of us suggest not recommended you to use that router for permanent or long terms usage. Bare in mind if that router not come with tm logo, you can directly upgrade the firmware. First, just make sure check your router version, if V1 just upgrade with V1 only. If come with tm logo, you can try to upgrade directly, if failed you need to make recovery mode first then you can upgrade the firmware. Indeed, Asus are the best so far when it's come for consumer router, even though it's expensive but its come many features given and long term support especially firmware whether you use back dated router or latest model of router. if you not considering warranty one, you can get asus router from someone that don't want use that router anymore with good price given because some of them really like upgrading to latest router.

C1200 firmware V1-V3 Malaysia
tp-link recovery mode

TP-Link AC1200 is better because my office is here is using this router now. However, this router max only can reach 300mbps on wifi 5GHz (Unifi 500mbps). Coverage is not bad, probably office here all the wall are made by wood. That's why I still can get good reception even the router is placed in front of office.

Me myself sure won't use this TP-Link router, my home for me personal, I was upgraded mine to RT-AC86U.
