once you get your router, you need to type 192.168.1.1 or http://router.asus.com on the web browser.

I haven’t bought my Asus router yet, now using to-link c1200.. one sifu advise me to change to 80mhz..

Brother junclj has shown the method. You don't really have to go to ASUS's official site to check if any latest firmware is issued to your router as you can do this by logging in to your router to check it. But, you have to be diligent to always check if there is any firmware issued twice in a month.

Cool! thanks for the info bro.. do you know how to change the mhz for tp-link router?

No need to go AX. Last time the GT-AC5300 was near to 2k now cheaper already. That's for gamer. RT-AC5300 is sufficient.

Budget?

If your router is beside your room, using lan cable will get you 300Mbps almost guaranteed, and you can save the money
Emm...did the TM employees configure the AC1200 for you?
sometimes restart will work
do you store the router in a cabinet?
I assume you connected to 5GHz while doing the speed test
but 100Mbps is enough for 1080p streaming

go to advance, wireless settings, 5GHz

The 802.11ax is designed to operate in all ISM bands between 1 and 6 GHz when they become available for 802.11 use, in addition to the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands already allocated. Now to make thing simple, it is called WiFi6.

Now most devices support 802.11ac. So, I'd say just stick to 802.11ac. Yes, people might say, buy now and you can use for long time when more and more devices out there support. However, you are paying for high price for nothing when the modem price will quickly drop when more and more in market, in my opinion.

If your modem can provide 300Mbps, it does not mean that you will get 300Mbps. It depends on your devices/phone also. Your phone probably only can do 1 spatial stream (single antenna). So, the max speed is around that on 20MHz bandwidth. You will get around 300Mbps with 80MHz channel, but you will also exposed to interference from neighbor since your channel if you are on 2.4GHz band

oh this is awesome tips, i was reading the thread and stumbled on this new learning... thanks!

RT-AC86U for the win.

AiMesh is gooding.

100mbps is more than enough to run any kind of game (as long as u can fix the router's QoS in environment with multiple user) but still some games like csgo unless u go for wired u will be at competitive disadvantage even with the highest end wireless router

Your budget already passed if want to buy asus router. Just make sure choose wifi mode for 2.4GHz 802.11n only with wifi channel static whether 1/6/11, for 5GHz choose wifi mode 802.11n/ac only or 802.11ac only any wifi channel static as long not interference with your neighbour.

Brother 1mr3tard3d has showed you dae way.. . If you want to buy an ASUS router (just incase you don't care about budget at all), I can suggest a few models for you ranging from AC86U (Wi-Fi 5 router) or if you want to futureproof your home-network, give AX56U a try. It is an entry level Wi-Fi 6 router.

Budget around 600-900, let’s just say I just buy the lan cable to connect to my desktop, is tplink sufficient? Or does rog excel in that too?

Thanks bro, finish work later I try

You’re right, the price does fluctuates a lot so a bit dizzy what to buy, scare buy then later price drop..

So to be safe, 20mhz for 2.4ghz, and 80mhz for 5ghz?
I tried standing beside connecting to 5ghz with phone supporting 300mbps but manage to get below than 100mbps, called tm service they say I’m suppose to get above 50% of the applied 300mbps..

Understood.. planning to get a good stable line for wifi, if no choice need to think how to connect the wifi to my desktop..

Will take note on that brother

Dint quite get what you meant.. too much code haha, still new in this game..
