Yesterday M1 technician came to my place to change a new set of modem. He shared that the placement of my AX88U in the corner of the house and another AC88U in the furthest end of the master bedroom is not ideal as the router has to penetrate walls before it can communicate with the node. He suggested that 1 move my AX88U more inwards so that it lesser obstruction to the AC88U. Bom!Hi, time to upgrade my 1gb broadband again. currently, M1 having promotion: free 3 months if signup with mesh router. any advise if the mesh router: asus zenwifi is good? or should i go for AX88U. Currently, i am using AC88U for 4 years already. My 4 room flat master bedroom wifi signal is very weak and i place my AC88U in my DB box beside my main door. Thank you.
My setup is AX88U (router) and AC88U (node) connected via wireless backhaul. I am on m1 500mbps plan.
Prior to moving both routers
Living room: download 480mbps, upload 470mbps
Study room (nearest room to my living room): download 280mbps, upload 180mbps
Master room (3 rooms away): download: 90mbps, upload: 40mbps
Toilet (furthest away): download: 70mbps, upload: 30mbps
Moving router and node so that there is less obstruction:
Living room: No change
Study room: Download: 390mbps, upload: 150mbps
Master room: Download: 280mbps, upload: 230mbps
Toilet: Download 200mbps, Upload: 160mbps
Wa lan! No joke sia! Results so so as compared to many bros here but something I have never seen for the last 10 years. Toilet also can watch 4k
