TP link Vs Asus router..

[lalalalalala]

Okay lah, my Archer C7 how long liao got 10 years already? Still wifi 5.

Routers don't spoil a lot unless pathologically badly designed like a certain brand I once worked for. The highest chance to spoil is the power supply and even then only if you cheap out on it. My ONT power adapter spoil twice.

power adapter can just buy online or from shop, make sure voltage same with maybe +0.5 tolerance. for current any rating equal or higher than the original adapter should work

Wifi Speed is faster. And I find the range is further

actually higher speed usually comes with shorter range. this assumes with the same power used to transmit the data.

same thing with 3g 4g 5g.

The first gen Nucleus Connect I recommend getting a power supply that has higher current rating than the original.

Heck it, just get a higher current rating regardless of generation. I lost trust in that company already.

none.

using a mini PC with Intel N100 with PFSENSE.

more customizable.

current higher always better. the "theory" is that current is drawn, so a higher amp adapter will allow the device to draw more power

Higher radio frequency results in higher speed and shorter range.

Otherwise speed and range is the same thing and interchangeable. And there are ways to increase speed/range. Higher signal power, better sense amp, better beamforming and multipathing...

i like TP link leh

My router dont even have wifi6, impt meh?

Faster, latency lesser, more stable.

Big upgrade for me.

I think wifi 7 is even faster than my cat 5e cable, can't wait to upgrade in June when my M1 contract finishes

Old router wifi cannot reach 2nd room.

Buts new wifi 6 router can, so thought new wifi router hav longer range

I agree wifi 6 is more stable

Moi contract end Dec, will go wifi 7 if cost not a big factor

i running wifi 7 at home now. the range is horrible. router is less than 5m away from me in the living room. i close my room door i cannot get full bar signal already and the speeds drops to about the same as wifi 6. do plan out your router location properly. consider wifi 7 mesh if u can afford. not to mention your devices all must upgrade. only the latest phones can support. your PC/laptop unlikely to support unless u go purchase 1 now.

Sounds bad. Rather stick to wifi 6 for now.

its not really bad to say.. but just that its really expensive to go full on wifi 7 right now. do it properly, wifi 7 is an absolute dream to have.

 

[chaiscool]

what's wire guard for

Vpn, faster / better than openvpn moi using with tp link. Setup at router so can vpn back to home network.

The cost of wifi 7 is prohibitive

Advice for WiFi noobs, I had conducted few actual survey using tools such as Netspot, the placement of Wifi routers very very important.

In most cases, you need the height advantage and line of sight, without signals blocking items such as heavy density object blocking the signal path.

If your WiFi router placed at your knee level, only your cats or dogs will get strong signal, anything within 5-10m of the router.

Yeah moi move from wifi 5 to 7 and range like same nia. Imo if don't need upgrade or 6Ghz then just keep old router.
