Reliance Jio Fiber Migration Plans

@nigr Welcome to Wifi woes.
My R7800 conked during a firmware upgrade, and Netgear replaced it with a R8000 after 8 days.
That router is SHIT !
On my 1 gbps connection, it gives 700 mbps via LAN, and 200 mbps via Wifi on a 2*2 MU-MIMO setup. Range is poor as well.
Will probably sell it and get an Asus (88U or 86U) or the R7800 again in today's sale. R7800 was a rock solid router !

 

[nigr]

Lmao, let me know if you come across a nice deal @alekhkhanna

 

[alekhkhanna]

@nigr I'm not looking for an AX router, but will post if anything comes up. For me, its R7800 again or 86/88U

 

[nigr]

Yeah I’m also looking at an AC one, maybe AC88U or Rapture AC5300

 

[nigr]

@alekhkhanna get the GT5300 for 20K?

Just a suggestion, if you are looking for high end network setup, it might make more sense to stop looking for all in one devices and get a good x86 wired router and multiple access points.

You could get a good x86 mini pc with 4 intel Ethernet ports for around 10-12k + duty if any.

@alekhkhanna How about this router?

 

[alekhkhanna]

@Nitin I've the X6, and the throughput is not good. WAN to LAN is also bad. On my gigabit, it gives 700 Mbps on LAN, which is quite a bit of a loss.

@nigr I am going back to R7800. Old but robust.

@varkey Running ethernet cables to multiple APs is a challenge. Though I was thinking of just connecting a TP or Ubiquiti AP directly to the Jio router and be done with it. Running the cable is the major issue (not to mention our walls are plain and there's no place to hang then, rented place)

@alekhkhanna so I got the GT AC5300, testing as of now. Bandwidth keeps fluctuating on my macbook but remains fine on my phone

@nigr What speeds are you getting (10 feet from the router) ?
