Router recommendations for Airtel 1 Gbps plan?

[buggybuggy]

Just got an Airtel 1 Gbps plan, luckily the team was in the same building setting up another connection. So all the wiring and hardware was all set in 2 hours. The activation is supposed to happen by tomorrow.

I am on Youbroadband 200 mbps right now and Dir 825 ac 1200 router works great, but for a 1 Gbps speed, I had to spend a lot of time today looking up a router that will actually come close to delivering 1 Gbps over wifi, heck anything over 800 mbps and I will be happy.

Which router do you guys use for a 1 gbps connection? What's your experience been like?

This is the closest you could probably get on a mobile, using Huawei ax3 pro

you purchased the router from AliExpress however what bandwith are you using it on?

 

[Rehan Kumar]

By bandwidth you mean wireless bandwidth?
Currently it's on 160 MHz on 5 GHz but no mobile device supports 160 MHz, so theoretical maximum on mobile is 1.2 Gbps while on laptops (intel ax 200/201) it's 2.4 Gbps

Or you mean my broadband speed?
I am on airtel Gigabit plan

How big is your room and 5Ghz would cover a small area(are you getting the same speed even when moving to a different room) how much is the upload & download. are there any packet lost on Airtel Gigabit plan. I am thinking of Asus GT-AX11000 however the price right now is too steep. Wifi 6, WPA3, OFDMA, Multi-Gig router port, VPN they all make this router future proof

Different room definitely doesn't give speeds like this though it's definitely better than wifi 5, no packet loss on airtel gigabit
Will test and let you know what speeds i get in Different rooms
