TP Link Archer AX72 or Archer AX90
very good range

where is your modem? 2 Mesh router should be sufficient

Upstair ruang tamu

but downstair ruang tamu weak connection

Thats okay. Put one Mesh at upstairs, another downstairs ruang tamu

Asus rt-ac86u

Buy rm900 router settle

Force kids come down and prove to you they are learning. Why spend more money on retards if it will only help them diam2 play Valorant topkek

Happen to me.. So I'm recommending not to buy any tplink or dlink router, suckz big time, both have difficult interface and both got setting/configuration suddenly missing issue and it's only good point is it have almost no/fewer software update..

cakap biar ada adab walaupun online tak kelakar pun apa kau tulis

2 biji mesh cukup. Tp link. I am a fan of asus products, but somehow for routers, tp link seems to out last Asus and is damn reliable

I'm using Tp-link ER605 router. Access point is Tp-link EAP225 powered via POE by Tp-link TL-SG2210MP smart switch. Whole network is controlled using OC200 Omada SDN.

Unker kasi u real life lesson from my online kerases. U think ur kids duduk dlm bilik tidur tu rajin belaja ke? Mrk sendiri yg mengaku hari2 dgn cikgu sialan ni. Hari2 tidur lewat lambat bangun 2jam lewat baru masuk keras sbb game 1 malam.

Nak dengar nasihat ke tidak tu tepuk dada tanya selera lettew.

Btw gotta love that siggy topkek

Get Deco X20.

i dun recomend deco m series. not good.

i use asus router. but can try tp link also. some of my friends are using and its quite worth it for them, using for about 2 years no issues. my asus router i just bought only last year, so cant tell. lol. using AC86U and AX56U. 86U for downstairs, AX56U for upstairs, as im using it for gaming hahaa. xD

Nice, I use a mix of vendors, mikrotik for routing, tplink PoE+ switch for power to Aruba APs.

Asus router at your budget

I was planning to get the mikrotik router given all the positive reviews I read. But eventually decided to go all in on TP-Link Omada products so I can control the whole network via a single interface (instead of configuring each device one by one). It's similar to Unifi's OS controller software (SDN via cloud key), just a lot cheaper and less powerful.

why liao

I upgraded to a Asus TUF-AX3000. Wifi damn fast. No regret.

you could go with xiaomi ax6000

stability issues over a period

do not buy a deco. cannot change wifi channel if your area congested (stuck on auto select, google it)

as others said already, 2 storey house: get the Asus 86u

speaking from experience

had a collegue who had his asus 86u broke twice

personally i also have asus router broke on me, the wan port just died, so i use the common LAN port and have my modem to act as a router. after few week, the router failed to turn on.

Asus RT-AX3000

Great router

once downstairs loss of signal?

I will try to explain why we don't give the Deco administrator the permission to manually choose a channel on the current Deco system, which may not precise but I will try my best:

Firstly, we need to clarify that the wireless channels on the current Deco firmware are not manually configurable as Deco automatically selects a 2.4GHz channel to use based on what it sees around it, selecting the channel that has the least interference. The 5GHz channel appears to be configured based on the region the device was manufactured for use in and they are apparently not auto-selected and are definitely not manually configurable.

Secondly, we need to reiterate what is the point of having a whole mesh Wi-Fi system in your network. The whole point of mesh networks is to give a seamless, unfettered, and performant experience for wireless networking, and thus a mesh network is "self-configuring" and "self-healing", the network automatically incorporates a new node into the existing structure without needing any adjustments manually by a network administrator and it automatically finds the fastest and most reliable paths to send data. If you change the wireless channel on the Deco nodes manually, it may give you the risk of losing the other Deco nodes and thus ruin your Deco system, you may need to start over again to reconfigure them.

What's more, it is not always easy to choose a clear wireless channel in your networks, you may need to test with all of them in order to find one that may be usable. Most importantly, crowded isn’t the same as busy, even though some channel scanning apps tell you one specific channel is busy, they don’t always measure other sources of congestion and interference. Non-Wi-Fi signals (like those from microwaves, Bluetooth devices, cordless phones, garage door openers, baby monitors, etc.) can all congest a channel but may not show up in a scan. So it’s possible that a channel can appear empty, while it is, in fact, saturated with other kinds of interference.

PS: copy paste anwer for Deco

asus router if imported price = good

if get from local = harga cekik dara, can pretty much get 2x unit of competing brands.

Nope, strong and stable all around the house for me. 5ghz some more.

Of course, it can't do magic against walls/floors.

Best is still drag some LAN cable and run wired MESH or AP.

what model u rekomen

what model u rekomen

Come here la
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4658096

Get 2 tplink mesh. One connect to wifi router another one put downstair living room.

alot of time the connection become not good is not because the router/ap is crap, it was the client device that is not good, signal from those devices not being able to reach back to router. a better router might have more sensentive anttena might being able to help on this situation, but i dont think it will help alot, thats why for this kind of situation,having a mesh setup will help more since your devices will only talk with the closest ap.

but why my download is effected if router is not to be blame? do note that for tcp connection each stream of network being send will need some sort of acknowledgement from the client device that those network packets being received, so if these acknowledgement packets is loss or being delayed. your download speed is likely to be affected too.

Like others said, ASUS is good, but it's budget killer and local pricing totally nuts. The AX55u used to be the cheapo solution for running mesh (about RM200 per bijik) but at current pricing, hell no.

TP-LINK on the other hand don't give MESH support for their normal router (if I not mistaken), they go with sub-unit like DECO which can't work as router individually.

So I dono LOL, perhaps Hualaowei AX3 Pro? 2 bijik should be under RM500. Can support wired MESH by plugging in LAN cable.

Using Asus now. A bit pricier than TP Link. Admin UI is totally not noob friendly

Y U NO MESH WIFI?

Alang-alang buy router... buy godly one... like mine :



Can cover 2 storeys no problem~

Now Asus released an even better router with wifi 6E protocol:

https://shopee.com.my/ASUS-ROG-Rapture-WiFi...750?position=14

using DECO M5. nice, small je

get wifi6 router la if budget rm8xx …just bought asus ax82u replacing my asus ac87u …ac87u never prob b4 after more than 3yrs

I am using tp-link archer AX73, really good router. the router is located on second floor living room and I still receive solid wifi at the bottom floor room.

been using since March, can even play games at very stable ping on wifi.

So yeah kinda good at rm400.

tenda Ax1800 rm210+_

a good router is not as good as a normal router at perfect location, find a position in the middle of the house, prefer stairs, and install the router somewhere in the top of ground floor, below 1st floor, hang it upside down, antenna pointing downwards, and all antenna keep some distance from any wall.

im using a asus rtn18u with custom tomato firmware, been using it for like about 10 years already, so far so good



oh and i swap the original antenna with these long antenna, which supposed to give better range

https://shopee.com.my/15dbi-2.4GHz-WiFi-Mod...680?position=12

btw, the higher the bandwidth, the lesser range of the wifi, 2.4ghz has better range, while 5ghz has better speed, if your device is phone and mainly to get internet access, you should go 2.4ghz, should have no trouble getting like 100mbps for each device(20mbps is enough for video streaming)

Depends on individual needs and budget la. This is a bit over-kill and over my budget la.

More like most phones or devices don’t even have the supporting bands to utilise it.

+1

i also no issue with this, can broadcast to other house no issue (parent and my house side by side)

I'm using a pair of Deco M5 and it is working great, it is a double storey house 22' x 75'. The wifi covers all corners and the speedtest is stable too. I'm using UniFi 300Mbps btw.

I use this
https://shopee.com.my/Brand-New-ASUS-GT-AC5...540?position=10

Put in living hall cover the whole house (2-storey ~ 3000sqft). The minimum speed I get is around 200Mbps on either 5GHz or 2.4GHz as I remembered., anywhere in the house and in room with door closed.

The reason I bought Asus at that time was because many can be converted into mesh (mixed models) but at the end I found out I don't need one

Bazir wang aje... Beli Ethernet cable, tarik sampai tangga, then put your router there. 1 router dah cukup... Semua letak router kat corner macam banggang...wifi range tu bulat, letak kat tenggah rumah, biasanya di mana tangga tu berada

This… Put at middle home, even need to sangkut at wall, just the router need to be powerful enough la. Bought Asus tuf-ax3000, really good one. Bought under rm480 at lazada, last year sale…

Got any with VoIP support or not? Cos using the phone regularly.

That one not handled by TM’s BTU?

Mine is connected to the router.

Those grey ports

Use maxis?

Too bad very few router support voip.

before u buy new router, try reposition the repeater to an area less obstructive and see if that helps.....

I use dlink covr 1103
3 units can connect 2 house 😅

Distance between house is around 35 ft. Not terrace.
Same speed in 2nd house vs 1st house since only have 30mbps plan

for a 2 storey house, 2 units can cover big house.

But settings quite limited maybe due to i’m using it in bridged mode.

Unifi no giv free mesh? I got one but no use because live in flat.

Best is to pull a wired Ethernet cable to an access point.

If that fails, there are power line and coaxial cable. Powerline in my experience is really not reliable. Cuts the speed in half with quite a bit of lossy packets. But, it’s really easy to use. Just plug in and forget about it.

I am using a moca adapter to give one of my mesh AP a wired backhaul. It goes through like 10 meters of coaxial cable.

Can achieve over 600mbps speed with no noticeable increase to lag.

use a hybrid mesh router for peace of mind.

same here. i'm using maxis with a TM fibrehome modem.

I need to have VoIP

absolutely no way to get rid of that maxis router. Keeping it just for VoIP purpose. I've set it to bridge mode.
