powerline dont have advancement, go for wifi7 instead.

Yup that's the issue I got

Poor speeds. So much so I stopped using it and went back to WiFi

How far between ur astro box setup to the main mesh router?

Power line is horrible.
Wireless mesh with a dedicated third band backhaul between the routers is preferable.
If your place have significant wireless interference in the 5ghz range, 6ghz band will help.


I would rate
Ethernet cable > Coax cable (MOCA) > wireless mesh (with dedicated band) > powerline.

If your house many core wall or certain IBS walls then you need many mesh point, best is the points aren't blocked from walls near each other. If that's still fail maybe what best for you just Ethernet back haul. Use long Ethernet cable to connect downstairs and upstairs mesh point

as long your device support it

Why not astro streaming server are problem?. Sometime i notice stuttering ans buffering but internet all ok. I think astro side problem.

and many dont realized that we have flat cable commonly available in the market now

the internet might looks fine but the stock router provided by the telco cannot handle the traffic

ulti box memang crap quality. I have issues with booting it. For your wifi issue i just use lan cable from my mesh setup. Try change wifi channel.

why not u plug in your astro into the Ethernet port of the mesh???

I have mesh on every floor and in my room when wfh, to minimize loss. Cnt expect to be like full wifi.

if using mesh note the mesh unit cannot be at the edge of wifi coverage from router, it has to be middle ground.. i.e if the range of main router is 10m..you need put the mest at 5m.. not at 8-10m...

if main router is shit, no matter how many mesh u use connection will still be shit.

My personal experience

was using unifi stock router, sucks so bad so I changed to tp link ax router. Connection is very good.
Swicthed to maxis and still using the same router no issues. but decided to use the stock given router to utilise the backup 4g dongle incase of downtime. but then the connections started to be wonky. then I switched back to my tplink router and everything is fine

i dono about others but my tp link mesh units, one will be set up as the router and the others will be the mesh units

should be about the same. Mine was using the maxis stock router and the tp link as the AP as Im lazy to change all my smart device wifi.

aku pakai cable and cable WIFI AP. ok shj talak problem also
