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...

thats a router not modem.

go for Asus AC68 or AC86 or AC8

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

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.

Sorry but what you meant by following the trend? As in changing routers or firmware? hmm.gif

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
*
Budget around 600-900.. don’t mind stretching if the router is good! Using handphone but desktop coming soon.. the router is beside my room, but somehow I’m only able to receive 60-70mbps, if standing beside my router I can’t even get 300mbps... do I need to call tm to check my speed?

This one is too expensive for me, RT-AC86U is more than enough for my 500mbps. I just bought the China set for RM600 only. I bought 2 units and set aimesh. 2 units RT-AC86U vs 1 unit GT-AC2900. So you think which one has wider wifi coverage.
*
So putting 2 units across your home connected to each other to increase the coverage? Hmm hmm.gif and what is aimesh sorry for asking..

Previously using RT-AC86U but now I'm using GT-AC5300
Waiting for RT-AX86U will switch to it once it's released
Trust me, you don't need the GT-AC2900, it's exactly the same with RT-AC86U but with some RGB LEDs & some game latency booster built-into the firmware
*
So 86 ftw.. But haven’t release yet? And price wise? What’s the difference between ac and ax version?

Set the 5GHz bandwidth to run at 80MHz so you can get full 300Mb/s
Do not let it run at auto or 20MHz / 40MHz

Sorry for asking this but how do I do it? Through the IP address setting?

Routers. Routers is a type of investment to secure your home from cybercriminals. Cheaper brands do offer a router with good hardware, but limited support (usually range in between 1 to 2 year). Most of the forumers here ditch out those two brands and invest more in buying ASUS router. Means, for the next 7 to 8 years, you will receive updates every month, sometime four intervals in the year.

I see.. how do we update it? Through ip adress? Thanks sifu

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

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.  biggrin.gif
