lan cable would be pretty ugly, FTTR is the way to go now, looks neat and tidy

I think cheapest ASUS triband wifi router brand new would be ASUS RT-BE92U, around RM1150
With this spec I think it should last for another 5 years plus and beyond

2.4GHz 3x3
5GHz 2x2
6GHz 2x2
256 MB Flash and 1 GB DDR4 RAM

With just 2x2 transmission unable to push higher speed. And 6Ghz is almost pointless for big space. It only work best in very short distance without wall blocking signal. Higher frequency gives us larger packet transmission but lose out on distance cause the higher the frequency the shorter the signal is. Thats why all IoT devices uses 2.4Ghz heavily.

I just knew bout this fttr transparent optical cable, wonder how much does it cost? Yea it definitely looks neat and tidy 🐝👍

TIME offer the FTTR service to their 500Mbps, 600Mbps and 1Gbps subscribers.

That's good, at least i knew time got such service, currently im on unifi, still get good speed from my room 😉🐝

Along the years, I have accumulated routers from internet subscription. What I do is just connect a lan cable from main router, then plug into the wan port in another router near my room. So I will connect to my room router wifi instead. I don't even need to spend a dime, except buying lan cable 20M cat8. I can't figure out why people want to waste money on mesh.

For your case, If u going my way, I believe u can route the lan cable behind your tv cabinet from the floor, then up to your balcony curtain hiding the wires behind the rail, then come back down on the floor edge and go to master room.
Or u can go further over the door edge to your bedroom 2.

If u have false ceiling that has opening, easier to hide the cable

as long the ping is low, should be allright. what router you are using now, if u dont mind sharing the info with us?

in that case, better get ROG Rapture GT-AX11000 PRO ( RM2,100 )

in minute 14:00 , can see that guy do the speed test outside the house. demmmm

- because router degraded over time. stock router are notorious on this part.

- because not everyone have same house layout like yours

- i cant stand to see fugly cables around my house. even it is a white flat LAN cables

what makes you think buying CAT 8 cables can guarantee you better speed?

Cat 8 lan cables delivers 40 Gbps speeds and 2GHz bandwidth

your stock router cant even get that speed bro. it is like using pirelli p zero on kancil 660 automatic

I like your idea, can u draw in pictures for better understanding?

Dual 5Ghz band is good for AiMesh wireless setup as the second 5Ghz act as backhaul transmission for mesh router to avoid sharing bandwidth with first 5Ghz which bound with all your devices. Honestly I won’t spend 2K on a router when gaming. I’m happy with my current TUF AX6000 setup. Cause my AiMesh is link via Ethernet cable for backhaul usage. Besides my PCIE WiFi card is Intel AX210 which is WiFi6E way sufficient.

it is kinda overkill, but might be useful for those who have plenty of iot devices, especially on landed property

any specific reason why u dont use lan cable to your pc?
