Hi Guys,
Would like to ask some feedback.
This is my current set-up:
- Main router in living room
- Room 1 with PC is ~12m straight line distance from router with 1 wall separation
- Room 2 with PS4 is ~10m straight line distance from router with 2 wall separation
Option 1:
- Run 2 x Cat6 cable from router to both room locations
- Estimated cost RM 420 (quoted by networking supplier)
Option 2:
- Purchase WiFi 6 Router (TPLINK AX20?)
- Purchase WiFi 6 network card for PC in Room 1 (TPLINK TX50E?)
- Use existing Powerline Adapter for Room 2 PS4 gaming
- Estimated cost RM 428
I may elect to purchase a WiFi 6 Router anyway to replace the TP-Link EC230 from TIME.
If this is the case, then Option 2 will only cost me RM 150 vs RM 420 (for cabling)
