You're restricting yourself to 150 Mbps For what Up to what the maximum price should this router be

jacekmi91 · Answer

I limit the speed because of the price, because I do not need more, because I currently have a 100/10 Mbps connection. As for the price, I would not like to pay more than PLN 200. But I'm not sure if it is possible: /

Up to PLN 200. you will buy ASUS RT-AC53, unless you need USB. With USB up to PLN 300. you will buy ASUS RT-AC1200G +

jacekmi91 · Answer

It's just a pity that there is no recki for the former. And something up to PLN 150 would be found?

Asus routers are a proven brand and can be taken blindly. Up to PLN 150. you can buy Netis WF2780 or TP-Link Archer C25 however, I would suggest buying Asus.

jacekmi91 · Answer

Seemingly a proven brand, but when you look at the tests of these cheaper versions, it loses the signal quality with Netis or TP-Link.

I offer you a good ASUS RT-AC53, not the lower-end ASUS RT-AC51

ASUS RT-AC53 is definitely better than Netis WF2780 or TP-Link Archer C25

My proposal is ASUS RT-AC53, and you will do and buy whatever you want, but then you will not regret it because now you have a 100Mb / s net, and in a year or two you will have 200 or 250 Mb / s and then you will replace the router again :?:

I have ASUS RT-AC68U and 250Mb / s for a few days, and for almost 2 years I had 120Mb / s, previously 60Mb / s.
I changed the net to a faster one because I wanted to :?:

No, because my contract has expired and they offered me 120 Mb / s for PLN 4. less, or 250Mb / s for PLN 2. more.
and what I chose

After WiFi, I reach over 220Mb / s :idea:

jacekmi91 · Answer

Tell me again, are you reaching the 220 in a different room than the router is?

AxelNext · Answer

In the same room: speedtest.net/pl 5 GHz AC 226 Mb / s (fix) 5 GHz N 145 Mb / s

jacekmi91 · Answer

can you do a test and check in another room?

AxelNext · Answer

In the second room behind a 30 cm brick wall: speedtest.net/pl 5 GHz AC 221 Mb / s 5 GHz N 137 Mb / s

jacekmi91 · Answer

pretty good results

AxelNext · Answer

Therefore, I advise you not to save on the router.
I proposed ASUS RT-AC53, but a smarter purchase is ASUS RT-AC1200G + because not only is faster, it also has USB 2.0 to which you can connect a hard drive in the housing and use it as a NAS, or watch movies on TV if you have a TV with an Internet connection or in connect the 3G / 4G LTE modem if necessary and use the mobile network. This router gives you more options.
I know that PLN 300. it's not enough but if you have 200 then wait, collect the 100 more and you will certainly be more satisfied.
