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.
Any update po kung nakapag upgrade na sila sa mesh wifi? Maganda po ba? Thankyou

Hello po. Advise ko pong mag upgrade ng router na kahit anong PLDT router. Cheap kasi yung parts nila kaya kahit anong ganda ng 5ghz signal mo magdrdrop sya mag isa. Kahit TP link solid na basta hindi choppy connection. Kilangan lang maopen access yung ethernet sa likod meron naman pong mga tutorial sa Youtube. Hassle lang iaccess PLDT routers. Goodluck sa mga uupgrade po!

Simplest answer would be kung mag gagame ka through wifi, expect latency po talaga kahit gano kaganda router, kung wired po setup niyo, I think sapat na yung sa pldt router/modem

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!
sa pag kakaalam ko boss wifi range lang naiimprove ng third part routers, pero pag ethernet same pa rin, ISP pa rin talaga
