I think that is the best option for you. Some M1 users may want to top-up S$4 per month for EB832 or RT-BE92U and then sell them at a profit to make the effective monthly charge even lower. You can decide whether to top up or not.

Whether M1 10Gbps plan is the cheapest or not depends on your use case. For example, some users who do not need digtial voice may think Starhub 5Gbps plan at S$29.55 is cheaper as it comes with free HB710 and S$150 voucher.
im using m1 wifi 6 router which is tplink ax5400, and my lancable i dont even know is which type of CAT6 which is bought many years ago, at least 12 years old.

"lanmark-6 ftp category 6 ls2h patchcord by nexans kh20070809-003 009951m" this is the name that is on my cable. tried google cant find any info on what type of cat 6 is it

so im actually not really concern whether i can hit 10gbps or not. my pc is using lan cable connect but dont have the what 10e capability. those electronic gadget that is much "latest" that i connect to wifi is just my pixel 8xl and considering to buy oppo x10 or x10 pro max.

what im trying to say or ask is. it's fine to stick with my current lancable and wifi if i dont have any much issue right? i could just top up and get the be927u and sell for some profit right

CAT6 cable is okay for 10Gbps up to 55 meters, so no issues for a typical home in Singapore.

As for your TP-Link AX5400, most likely Archer AX72 (or Archer AX73), it will be supported by TP-Link Singapore for security updates at least to 6 April 2028. So technically you can still use it and treat your 10Gbps plan as 1Gbps plan.

Archer AX726-Apr-28
Archer AX72 Pro15-Jan-29
Archer AX736-Apr-28

Personally I will top up for the Asus RT-BE92U and keep it since I feel Archer AX72 is a bit old. The 10Gbe WAN port is good for the 10Gbps Internet. The four LAN ports are up to 2.5Gbps, and it is pretty cheap to upgrade your desktop with a 2.5Gbe adapter.

But it is still fine if you want to sell the RT-BE92U and keep using the old TP-Link, since you have no issues with it.

SingTel, M1 and Starhub Issued TP-Link Router Security Support Duration, some dates may get extended. For example, HB710 and HB810 may well get extended.

as long as eligible for recontract ( check your app, no need wait till expiry date), you can get the offer available at that point of time lor....or the recontract offer, can go ask at shop

Usually recontract is better. In some cases, you can also change your current bill plan to a higher-speed option.

Sometimes M1 may send you "free upgrade offer" earlier which may or may not be a good option, depending on the price you pay for the existing plan.

https://www.m1.com.sg/support/faq/all-topics/home-broadband/fibre-broadband

How can I check my re-contract eligibility for Home Broadband?​

You can easily check your re-contract eligibility using My M1+ App.

  1. Open My M1+ app and sign in with your M1 ID.
  2. Select your Fibre service from your list of services.
  3. Go to the “Plans” tab and you will be able to view your re-contract options.

​

As an existing M1 Home Broadband customer, can I upgrade to a plan with higher speed?​

Yes, you can upgrade your plan in two ways – re-contract or change your bill plan.

Re-contract:
If you are eligible, you can sign a new contract for a higher-speed plan. You can do this via M1 website or visit us at any M1 Shop.



Change of Bill Plan (CBP):
You can change your current bill plan to a higher-speed option via the My M1+ app.

Useful tip:
To ensure a smooth process, please note the following rules when upgrading your bill plan through My M1+ app:
1. Upgrade Only:
You can only change to a higher-speed "Upgrade Plan" and not to a lower-tier plan or a "New/Recontract plan."

2. Plan Tier Limitations:
This service is available only within XGSPON plans. You cannot change from a GPON plan (2.5Gbps or below) to an XGSPON plan.

3. ONT vs. ONR:
You cannot switch between an XGSPON ONT plan and an XGSPON ONR plan, or vice versa.

4. Highest Speed:
If you are on the highest speed plan available, you will not be able to upgrade further.

5. Contracts & Devices:
Your existing contract will continue, and any existing device installment contracts will remain in effect. No new devices will be issued.

6. Pricing:
Any existing discounts will end, and the new monthly recurring charge for the upgraded plan will apply.

Take note S$2 top-up offer for Asus RT-BE92U or ZenWiFi BT10 was only offered during COMEX 2026 (and 10Gbps plan was at S$25.90 per month).

Now M1 10Gbps plan goes back to S$26.90 per month. The top-up for Asus RT-BE92U or TP-Link EB832 is at S$4 per month.

You mean during COMEX 2026, ASUS BT10 was only $2 extra per month?

I think I better wait for THE TECH SHOW 2026 November 13–15, 2026, to recontract hoping for a good offer.
