WIFI 6 modem and New converge Double speed promo

[african888]

Good evening!

Just want to ask if need ba talaga mag upgrade ng WIFI6 modem in order to experience the 200mbps speed (from existing 100mbps plan).

Me additional P88.00 per month kasi for the Modem

I'm getting the speeds they offered without changing the original modem they provided

No need kung wala ka naman mga devices naka WiFi 6.

WiFi5 (802.11ac) can easily do 300-400+ mbps, probably more, in the real world.

[oj88]

This is over WiFi5 in a rather better-than-normal case.

[african888]

thanks for the reply guys. I will try to ask if we can upgrade the speed without upgrading the wifi6 modem

Pwede yan yun opi-in lang na ma lock ka ulit for 24 months ang need nila, sa router eh recommended lang nila ang and not compulsory

But since ma lock-in ka na rin for another 2 years then might as well get the WiFi 6 for future proofing.

Mas maganda po talaga if mag upgrade to WiFi 6 WiFi 6 Explained (82.11 AX) | TP-Link Philippines. Maliit lang ung 88 pesos kung maganda at mabilis naman ung internet connection mo, diba.

I'm using my old (1st Gen) Google Mesh Router (yes, hindi pa Nest name nya noon)

no problem with my internet speeds. I remember na hanggang 700mbps noon sa SG kaya naman nya.

pero if you want to future proof your set-up a bit, better get the Wi-Fi 6 router.

Kahit older WiFi5 basta walang dead spot, mas OK compared kung isa lang ang router WiFi7 may deadspot.

You may use your old routers, WiFi modems as an AP to cover the deadspot within 100meters away from the main router.

Take note as frequency goes up to the light spectrum, the range shortens kahit may MIMO pa, and seriously who needs >100MBPs kahit 2MB kayang kaya mag post sa tsikot o mag YT.

yan din thinking ko noon nung nasa SG ako.

pero nung nag force upgrade ang telco ko from 2mbps to 100mbps... ang laki ng difference.
next update was to 500mbps (had to replace my Apple Airport to Google Mesh)

naka 1gbps na ako nung 2020 hanggang sa umalis kami nung 2021.

Kung hindi lang makulit mag upgrade ang telco dahil phased out na ang older plans hindi ko avail yan 300mb. Simple browsing 2MB kaya, kung may konting meet,zoom 10MB pwede na. Ngayon sabay sabay gamit at may mga iOT, 50MB kaya parin which is well covered by the oldest WiFi G. Sa na observe ko affected ang latency by the signal strength kaya mas importante yung walang dead spot, hence the installation of AP's (marketed as mesh by telcos).

Globe is offering to upgrade our WiFi router to WiFi 6 in exchange for 2 years lock in period. Hindi ko tinanggap kasi hindi ko naman ginagamit yung Globe wifi, dumadaan pa sya sa load balancing router then Sa main WiFi ko na tp link na WiFi 5 pa rkn.

Tama naman decision ko? I'm not getting additional speed from globe kahit upgrade Sa WiFi 6 since I don't use the globe router as WiFi?

last year, nakita ko sa FB page ng Globe na WiFi6 na pala router ang kasama sa mga new subscribers nila. sabi ko sa wife ko, patanong sa Globe kung pwede palitan sa amin, nde daw pwede kasi wala naman problem router. so, ginawa ko eh twice a day off ko yung router namin. then after 5 days pina report ko na nag loloko router namin and nag sudden off na lang. ayun, pinalitan nila ng WiFi6 na router hehe.

naka mesh router ako na wifi5 lang, pero pag within the range ako ng Globe router eh duon ako automatic naka connect. pero nde ko naman ramdam difference sa phone ko hehe. yung anak ko lang na naka online games sa PC nya, duon ramdam nya kasi mas mababa ang latency.

pero kung wala ka naman balak lumipat ng ibang ISP, ok na yung ma lock-in ka ulit. and I think at least may option ka na mag wifi6 in case need mo. sa amin kasi may offer sila na free calls sa any Globe mobile (pati Globe landline din nationwide) numbers during the lock-in period or if pag nagpa renew ka ng contract, which is usually every 2 years nga.

Nung mag renew ako sa Globe last year, they were offering 2 plans for 200 Mbps, Wi-Fi 6 router kasi ung isa at 100 kesos higher lang naman. On hindsight, sana ung WiFi 5 na lang kinuha ko at wala namang noticeable improvement sa dati namin. Tapos gagayahin ko lang ang ipinagbabawal na teknik para malibre convert sa 6 [emoji16]

Alam ko lang fiber optics na yan gamit nila.

Bihira na ang legacy copper DSL lines ngayon, puro fiber optics na.

Not worth it. Better to buy your own AP than availing Globe's offer.
