Let me share some of my experience, using Xiaomi router with dual band router around RM110. Router sit on the living room, so over there can use 5Ghz signal no problem, can access my max 50mbps Unifi at full speed. But when go to different section of the house, the 5Ghz signal drop significantly, due to wall and other stuff. I have a room is 2 wall behind the router, the signal become extremely weak. So my usage now is when near the living room, use 5Ghz, at room, use 2.4Ghz. So 5Ghz don't magically made everything become better. My 2.4Ghz though, even when it sucks, still get around 30mbps, stream video, surf net no problem, but if after a wall, the latency become too slow for online gaming, so for game, I have to go near living room.
Hope this can give you some idea how 5Ghz expectation.
but the modem of TS is already kapus, and TS need a modem with router that budget about RM150 (but TS want AC as well
)
different scenario..
so , the choice is obviously in this case either get one within the budget but no AC, or increase the budget..

...
Asus DSL-N16 or TPLINK TD-W9960, you mean the specs are the same with each other ? the price different for both is RM20 (Asus slightly more expensive)
TPLINK TD-W9960, i read that the wifi signal is unstable ...
for Asus DSL-N16 is it the same as mention in the website below ?? RT-N16 (streaymx)
RT-N16ps. It seem like all the 2.4ghz wifi signal is not stable.
Thanks
I meant I already cherry pick 2 among numerous brand within ur budget, u just simply random pick one and use it..if unfortunately, u got a faulty item , u can simply return it and choose another brand. RM20 is not much... and the general speaking, the GUI of ASUS is abit better...
both r entry level product, please don't compare them with expensive product..
btw, it would get the job done, without them u cannot connect to internet, so still worth the money la...
p/s: u can always google negative comment from any wifi product , coz who doesn't have issue would never try to make a post with it.

I think what you counter is common, but not related to 2.4Ghz. I used to have 2 ASUS wifi router, when both running on 2.4 Ghz, the cheaper version run sucks. Do some research then only realize even on router there are processor and RAM as well, like a PC. Sometimes those parts are too "low" performance to handle too many connection at the same times. If I connect my TV, few phones, few laptop same the same time to my cheap ASUS, it would lag so bad that I have to reset the router.
Another experience is from a very old D-Link router, not too sure about the hardware inside but the software sucks. It would hang itself if someone use torrent to download movie.
So sometimes look at the box hard to tell good or bad, read more user feedback and hope for the best, hahaaa.
nod. that's why I recommended RM250 tier.. general speaking, a bit better cpu and ram ...and hopefully everything butter smooth out of the box, then the extra RM100 is a well spent..
