WiFi 6 Router
Suitable for most new Maxis Fibre homes. Better for modern devices, streaming, gaming and multiple users compared with older WiFi routers.
- Good for most 100–1Gbps homes
- Better device handling
- EasyMesh support on eligible router
If your fibre speed is fast near the router but slow inside bedrooms, upstairs or the kitchen, the issue is usually WiFi coverage — not the fibre line. This guide explains Maxis router options, WiFi 6, WiFi 7 for 2Gbps, Max WiFi by Maxperts, mesh coverage and the latest 5G Home WiFi router + mesh option for homes without fibre port.
A higher fibre speed does not automatically fix weak room signal. First confirm whether the problem is your plan speed, router placement, wall layout or missing mesh coverage. If your home has no fibre port, check the wireless router signal separately before choosing 5G Home WiFi.
Suitable for most new Maxis Fibre homes. Better for modern devices, streaming, gaming and multiple users compared with older WiFi routers.
Current Maxis 2Gbps fibre tier includes WiFi 7 router according to Maxis' latest fibre FAQ. Best for ultra-fast premium setups.
Best when your line is fast but rooms are weak. Mesh places extra WiFi points around your home for wider, more stable coverage.
WiFi 6 is designed for homes with more connected devices. It can provide better WiFi speed, wider coverage, stronger multi-device handling and lower latency compared with older router generations.
Helps modern phones, laptops and TVs get better wireless performance when the device also supports newer WiFi standards.
Handles busier homes better when many devices are online at the same time.
Better for online meetings, gaming and video calls when WiFi signal is strong.
Eligible WiFi 6 routers can pair with EasyMesh-compatible mesh devices for whole-home coverage.
Avoid promising a specific router model to customers. The exact router or hardware can depend on plan, stock, installation type and current Maxis terms.

|---|---|---|---|
| WiFi 6 certified router Common | Router for eligible new Maxis Fibre installations. | Most homes using 100Mbps, 300Mbps, 500Mbps or 1Gbps fibre. | Exact router model depends on Maxis stock, plan and installation terms. |

Mesh WiFi is not for everyone. It is most useful when your router area is fast, but certain rooms are weak or unstable.
One router downstairs may not cover upstairs bedrooms properly, especially with thick walls or concrete floors.
Signal may become weak at the back room, kitchen, master bedroom or outside area.
Smart TVs, phones, tablets, CCTV, consoles and laptops can make weak WiFi areas more obvious.
For a normal fibre installation, the technician checks the fibre point, installs or connects the modem/ONT, sets up the router and tests the service. If your home layout has weak WiFi areas, Max WiFi or mesh may be recommended.
Technician confirms fibre readiness and connects the service based on the available port and installation type.
Router is configured and tested. Placement matters a lot for real WiFi performance.
If rooms are weak, mesh placement or Max WiFi can be recommended based on layout.
Maxis states that the WiFi 6 certified router is given free to new installations for all Maxis Fibre plans, subject to current terms and installation eligibility.
The current Maxis Fibre FAQ lists the 2Gbps plan as including a WiFi 7 router. Always check the latest Maxis terms before confirming hardware.
Max WiFi by Maxperts is a mesh WiFi add-on for wider home coverage. Current Maxis FAQ lists Max WiFi Lite, Standard and Premium tiers with EasyMesh WiFi devices, and selected tiers include Always On WiFi backup.
It depends on your house layout. A small home may need one mesh device, while double-storey or larger homes may need two or more. Maxperts can recommend the correct number after layout analysis.
Yes, the latest Maxis 5G Plus Home WiFi 159 option includes a premium 5G router + mesh setup for wider indoor WiFi coverage. It is useful when fibre is not available, but the 5G signal at the router location must still be checked first.
You may use your own networking equipment in some setups, but support and configuration can depend on the router, installation and Maxis terms. For most customers, use the Maxis router first, then add mesh or access point setup only if needed.
The fibre line may be working fine, but WiFi can be affected by router placement, walls, distance, old devices, interference or too many connected devices. Test speed near the router first, then compare with weak rooms.
Send your address first. We check fibre availability, suitable plan, router eligibility, whether your home may need Max WiFi or mesh coverage, and whether 5G Home WiFi router + mesh makes sense if fibre is not available.
