Currently I am on Time Fiber 200mbps paying RM99 per month.

However, the speed/stability in the farther rooms are not that great due to walls/distance (but still stable and useable). Even my PC, is using WiFi connected and there is no fiber connection to any device.

I see Umobile has 5G broadband at RM68. Seems like I can save quite a bit a month and have the flexibility to place the router in a more central location which should offer better speeds.

But is 5G broadband stable enough? At the moment, Time Fiber broadband has never failed me for nearly 5 years, WFH is also smooth. Can I expect the same from 5G Broadband?

Indeed, spend some $ for better router like mid spec ASUS ( rm300+ and above ) and you will be fine

What difference will buying a different router make? My main issue is that my master bedroom singal is poor, I just assumed it is due to multiple walls / distance.

Will a purchased router have better signal strength?
