Check available upgrades for your router and consider newer models with improved features.
You're facing issues with your current fibre connection, despite a fast speed of 300 Mbps. The default router seems to be underperforming, causing lag, high ping, and even streaming problems. You've changed the router multiple times over the past year, but the problem persists. It appears the issue might be with the router itself rather than your internet service. You're considering upgrading to a custom router like the Asus RT-88U or Asus ROG Rapture GT-AC 5300, and even thinking about future-proofing with a 2Gbps connection. I'd appreciate more suggestions on other routers if you'd like. Thanks!
For those kinds of speeds, it’s wise to go past basic consumer networking gear and explore deeper options to fully utilize them. While I haven’t used any of their products personally, Ubiquiti is frequently praised on this forum. It’s best to seek guidance from someone more experienced in network design than I am.
Regarding 1Gbps internet speed, would a consumer-grade router remain a good option? Since I live in Singapore and have access to various brands like Asus, TP-Link, Netgear, etc., I’m not an expert on professional or enterprise models. I’d prefer a consumer model for this upgrade. In this case, would you still suggest the Asus routers I mentioned or other brands? Thank you!
The focus is on locating a router capable of handling 1Gbps LAN to WAN performance. https://www.smallnetbuilder.com offers detailed metrics for this purpose. Even at 1Gbps, it’s likely better than consumer models. However, you might still discover a budget-friendly option that supports gigabit speeds.
