In simpler terms, Wi-Fi 6 is faster and can handle more devices simultaneously compared to Wi-Fi 5. It is designed to provide a better experience in crowded environments where multiple devices are competing for bandwidth, such as in busy homes or offices.

if it is free, why not. but probably need to recontract.

I own self buy wifi 6 router from wifi 4
Very big different on speed, respond

yes noticeable improvement

but if your plan is only 100mbps and only 1person use it no point unless it is free

UNIFI offer me upgrade 100mbps to 300mbps and upgrade to wifi6 router FOC. 2 years contract. I accept jer la.. since i no plan to change ISP.. so far very satisfied
RM 129 for 300mbps

If so far happy with the wifi coverage in terms of speed within the premise, no need change.

But TS is asking about wifi5 vs wifi 6

Foc? Lol contract trap

how to install the own wifi 6 router to the old wifi 5? seems need TM to reconfigure if the wifi 6 units is from another different address/account?

Ave maria, I pray 4 u

all of my smart devices not much issue now, but cilaka now baru offer wifi 6 after migrate to maxsheet, where they offer wifi6 first

you already said yourself you are happy with current one, so why bother to change. Summore need to recontract.

If you always experience signal issue with shitty AC router then it’s worth to give AX a shot. Entry AX router like Asus performs quite well. Unifi mia forget it lah

if landed property then unlikely another 2 year will suddenly have alternative ISP

so..might as well take it

Just need pppoe username and password
I chat to tm request info, so anytime i change router just set pppoe

Mine tm gave me dlink router which seems pretty good for entry model but some older devices like mi tv cannot connect. My cousin kena bagi some cheapass never heard of wifi 6 router brand and it kept having packet loss. Called tm and they replaced it with dlink wifi6 router

kena tie in contract...

Are you got wifi6 devices in the first place or not?

i think, it will only make differences if wifi6 router is connected with wifi6 devices only...

Just yesterday my WiFi 5 asus Ac-86u failed after 5 years.
Replaced it with the WiFi 6 asus AX-86u.
This is actually just for an Ai mesh node.

But even then I do notice an increase in speed and coverage. I’ve about 40-50 IOT devices with around 10 pc/console/phone/tv/NAS that needs a constant connection.

where did you buy the AX-86u, any good deals?
