ok thanks !

Added to cart, thanks for the link ! Currently using D-Link DIR AX1500, IMO wifi is worse than unifi stock router(Living in 2-storey 1200sqft, upper floor signal using Tenda Range Extender). Having 800mbps plan, I knew the speed would be bottleneck using stock router. Didn't expect D-Link router that sucks. Is there any wifi 6 router best budget for Unifi 800mbps plan ?

No problem bro, make sure to check out your order during the period of 12am-2am then only you will be entitled for the discount. D-Link has been known for their awful firmware, for best budget Wifi 6 router, I think the best choice now should still be Asus AX56U, of course the price is definitely more expensive than TP-Link's offering, but what you get is best in class software support. The hardware is well-designed too, it doesn't feel hot or warm even after extended period of intensive usage. After I switch my old TP-Link router to Asus, I definitely able to notice the network quality of my home has vastly improved in terms of speed and stability. I bought this router for RM450 without any sales, but still I think it is well worth it and I am glad I forked out the extra pennies opted for Asus router, this is definitely something I'm going to use for years ahead.

This is the link from previous mentioned.

Question. I live in a two story house and was planning to get an AX20 paired with Mesh Wifi (Deco 4 maybe?). Should I opt for the RT-AX56U without mesh instead if the price are similar to each other (promo)?

At peak time there's about 20 devices connected (phones,pc,laptop), oh and we're not really power users.

Thanks.

PS. Currently using the stock router provided by Maxis, the Archer C5V. Its horrible lol.

Why not just buy 2 RT-AX56U during the sales and setup AiMesh? Mind sharing what's the issue you facing with your Archer C5V? I doubt single router alone is enough to cover your two storey house

Ah,did not crossed my mind on getting two routers. I'll read up further on AiMesh in that case.

Currently the main issues we face is the abysmal range and disconnection every now and then.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm also thinking of getting 2 units of this RT-AX56U and using AiMesh.

But before that wanted to know if any user experience with RT-AX56U and AiMesh. Is it stable and working well?

It is rock!

I'm staying in double stories too.
Before that I'm using 1 AX56, it is good enough to covered the whole house, but then some of the area is 2.4Ghz, which is slower speed in certain part of my house.

Then I decided to add 1 more AX56 as AiMesh, now my house is covered with 5Ghz.

thank god i came into this post.. was considering AX20, and a little bit struggle to consider AX50..

now seems like RT-AX56U is not a bad choice too..

thx all for the input and experience sharing. =)

Have you bought any gadget from that seller that offer the deal? Cause i heard alot of stories regarding that seller in shopee.

this AX56U RM285??
maybe just few pieces.. can't grab it.. gone i think within one min.. LOL

Anyone manage to get this deal on the AX56U?

I added to cart ahead of time, then at 12.03am I went to check out, price was RM285 but just as I was going to pay the system said there was some issue.

When I went back to reload the cart, the price showed RM429. It was still only 12.04am. I wonder what happened?

same here.. probably seller just allow 5 or 10 unit then all grab, blahh.. sold out within 1min..

update: it seems like shopee issue.. LOL

im going back for AX20..

How's the signal strength when comparing AX20 against AX56U?

Mine failed as well, was about to checkout and then I got told that the promo has ended.

Based on my personal usage, the AX20 excel in terms of wireless performance while the AX56U excel in terms of hardware and firmware features. If I were you, I would go for the expensive AX56U than the AX20. Recently the AX56U received an unpleasant backlash due to its performance depleting after the recent firmware patch, however ASUS did release a beta firmware, which somehow temporarily solve the problem. You can follow the latest post by members here.

Does anybody know how to set up RT-AX55 with TIME?

In the setup page, I see in the special requirement from ISP there is no dropdown for TIME, only unifi. How to set this router?

Nvm: just realized i replied in wrong thread lol

Also, the contractor salah tulis pppoe password pfftt. Checked inside the router it's diff than the one written in the service delivery paper

Thanks
I grabbed an AX20 right before 11.11 as I thought RM250 will be the lowest possible price for that particular router.
Who knows Asus dropped AX56U's price to the same 250~300 ish range...
On the bright side, AX20 is able to provide full 5ghz coverage in my house
Apart from the lack of firmware features, it is solid

Tbh, I do like TP-LINK routers for their excellent wireless performance and low-cost of ownership. Only if they decide to halt the re-visioning of the current models and only focus on one revision model and provide 2-3 years of firmware support is sufficient enough. In terms of R&D (I personally see their working ethics and can't disclose here) and constantly improving features, ASUS wins. This makes me to trust ASUS networking gears more than other gear provider. Currently I am using their flagship AX11000 router from ASUS. So let it be in promo price or actual price, I don't mind, as long as I get constant firmware patches is fine for me. Even the oldest model, AC68U still getting firmware updates till now. ASUS router might be pricey, but looking at the amount of hardwork they've put into a product, I can say, its totally worth it.

I just grabbed AX20 today to replace the AC1200 that TM gave me.
Will it be a huge difference in terms of wifi speed or other features?
