Hi all. My M1 500mbps contract expiring in Aug 21. Thinking of gg 1gbps. Which telco would u all recommend. Intend to run a new wifi6 router also. Tks


Life is v short. Ai song song nia kao tuas ah.
Just continue with M1 500Mbps plan which is slightly better than Starhub 500Mbps since it has free home line.

RT-AX82U/86U/88U will be a great fit for M1 500Mbps plan.

Are you using DIR-868L? That is an AC1750 router. And if you are using Wifi to test, then you should test with Wired first to see if you get about 500Mbps speed. Wifi speed will be greatly affected by the router, the device, the distance, etc. If you test at close distance, you should get better results if using 5GHz AC Wifi.

I am using AC68U at my own place (Dlink AW192 wireless adapter). At my in laws place (also AC68U) I use a Asus AC1900 adapter, easily can get speed more than 200mbps for download & upload.

I see. RT-AC68U is an old but decent router. D-Link DWA-192 AC1900 adapter looks not so bad. So you really need to check your wired speed first.

I have the TP-Link Archer T9UH AC1900 USB adapter myself and it can easily go around 200-300Mbps at 5m range to the wireless routers I have (currently RT-AX82U and SingTel Mesh router).

Are you connected to the 5Ghz or 2.4ghz ?
My cheapo Acer laptop with Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter card I get 225mbps from my DIR 868L router placed some 8m away.

Go to your wireless connection properties and check your link speed:

is the ax86u gundam version at $312 a good deal?

It is a wonderful deal. Where do you get this deal? I just searched Taobao and the normal version is already about S$291 before shipping charges (RMB1405) and the Gundam version is very rare and people are asking more than S$360.

mine was automatically calculated. u can see from the home page that list 22% off + 16.80. maybe they ran out of the 16.80? maybe u try later?

it's 419 - 90 (22% cap) - 16.80 = 312.20

hope more can get it!
