MyRepublic just launched a new bundle with Asus BE98

*with $150 additional top up :LOL:

The monthly fee also goes up. If we compare the Gamer plan with TP-Link Archer BE805 (S$64.99 per month and S$50 top-up) vs Gamer plan with Asus ROG GT-BE98 (S$74.99 per month with S$150 top-up), basically the difference in value of the router is: S$240 + S$100 = S$340.

MR claims that Asus ROG GT-BE98 is at S$1099 and TP-Link Archer BE805 is at S$799. So the value difference is at S$300. But we all know Asus brand is worth more money in the second hand market. So the different in price is at S$340 now from MR.

Let's see at what price people will offload the GT-BE98 (retail price is now at S$1099).
Archer BE805 --> at about S$400 BNIB in Carousell now (similar to TP-Link EB810v from Starhub)
Asus ROG GT-BE98 --> at about S$750 to S$800?? [Question is whether people will buy or not at this price]

I am pretty bad at predicting the offload price. Originally I was thinking that TP-Link Archer BE805 and EB810v can be offloaded at S$550-ish initially and then went down towards S$400. But actually the price immediately dropped to S$400 level.

Reference:
Asus GT-AX6000 --> retail price is at S$599 now. BNIB offload price is at about S$400 in Carousell.
Asus ROG-GT98 --> retail price is at S$1099 now. BNIB offload price will be at about S$??? Carousell.

I see my friends getting elevated ping to local game servers (~20ms) at ~9pm+ all the way till 12-1am.

Could be congestion at their Equinix peering point. Ran a few traceroutes to the game servers and once it hit their router in Equinix IX, the ping time jumps.

Their routes to Vultr in Japan also not the greatest, I get around 80-90ms on M1 but MyRepublic is at least 110ms.

They do have lower ping on some other servers though, so it's not all bad.

Is the above test data based on MR 1Gbps plan or MR 10Gbps plan? It is said that MR 10Gbps plan uses the same infrastructure using Starhub 10Gbps plan -- different from the existing MR infrastructure (at least for now, later maybe all MR infrasture will be migrated to Starhub).

My friend is on the normal 1Gbps plan.

I actually did a set of traceroutes to game servers located in SG and overseas using RIPE atlas probes, and one of the probes (Probe ID 55415) claim to be 10Gbps.

The resulting traceroute is pretty similar to other probes hosted on MyRepublic.

Here's one to a Vultr VPS hosted in Singapore. Both are ran at around 10PM local time on 29 March 2024.

wow, that is expensive, i believe it is same as normal AP just that one is backhaul with cat 6/7 cable and the huawei is backhaul with fibre optic and the fibre optic is so small that it is not easily seen even without conceal with trunking. I might be wrong. backhaul using cable/fibre is still more stable and lower latency than Mesh.

I think the selling point is more on the easy laying the fibre than the normal cat 6/7 cable and look nicer as the fibre is thin enough to hide easily.

In term of speed i don't think it has any different. Because the technology which connect the end devices is still the same Wifi.

100% the device is ONR. because all the routing is done in that device
