Worth it po ba i-replace yung stock PLDT Fibr router to third-party routers like ASUS ROG, TP-Link, etc? Mag improve po ba ang DL speed? Usually kasi Ethernet ang connection sa room, pero bumabagal parin ang DL speed at nag lalag sa online games minsan. WiFi lang ba ang effect ng mga router upgrade or may significant improvement ba sa wired connections?

Thanks in advance!

Share ko lang personal experience ko.

Gamit namin dati is yung PLDT ONU FIBR oem modem/router lang. Works fine for simple use pero nung dumami devices sa bahay napansin ko madalas mawalan ng net and need i-restart yung modem. Upon checking, napansin ko na masyadong mataas yung cpu usage kapag madaming naka connect. It seems low-end cpu lang gamit ng stock cpu modem.

I opted for TP-link na may MIMO and 5Ghz wifi. Got only very slightly faster speeds pero ang malaking improvement ay sa stability. Also maganda yung control panel ni TP-link and plan ko din mag upgrade to mesh wifi na TP-link din. Take note na di mo realistically mapapalitan yung modem ng PLDT. In my case, modem ko is PLDT pero lahat ng router tasks is handled by the TP-link. Eto yung nag solve ng high cpu usage ng stock modem ko.

In short, unless may use case ka na di kaya ibigay ni stock modem, then hindi practical na mag dagdag ng third-party router sa setup mo.

Additionally, sa pagkakaalam ko may major undersea data cable na nasira sometime early this year and maraming affected na lugar at kasama Philippines dun. Might be the cause of some connection hiccups. I'm not sure kung naayos na yun though.

Posting this for insight. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice! I'll do more research on that. Planning to get one also kasi sa kabilang house namin na ang router ay napwesto ng medyo malayo sa rooms. Dami ko rin nababasa online na better talaga ang mesh wifi.

in general ay better kasi pag modem router heavy yung load, ginawa namin pinatay yung wifi ng modem router tapos bumili ng separate para di mapwersa yung modem router ng pldt

Thank you so much sir, I was also planning to get one, especially for gaming/streaming but I will take note of this.
