Toshiba U79 and U80 Owners Discussion And Review !!

A6 is the amazon specific version of C6. From what ive read, C series is always better than the A's (Something about the FW that i cant seem to remember and too lazy to google)

The difference in the US is the sales channel i.e. A6 is an Amazon exclusive. No difference in India. I'd suggest getting a higher-end router solution as the A6 was very mediocre in my testing at signal strength compared to the TP-link C1200.
Though if I was getting a router today for your TVs and a lot of other devices, I'd highly suggest getting a WiFi 6 based router. The name would be AX(numbers) v/s AC(numbers) for a usual WiFi 5 router. WiFi 6 is a major upgrade with OFDMA at the hardware and specification level if you use a lot of gadgets in your house.
Please PM me if you wish to discuss this more. I'd rather not have off-topic discussion here.

Any clue if this panel is 8 bit or 10 bit?
When i power on my PS4 Pro connected to HDMI 3 port of this TV, i get a pop up regarding 8bit. Just trying to confirm if there is any benefit of using the other HDMI ports in this TV.

The 8-bit v/s 10-bit is complicated. The TV is 10-bit, but the panel itself is 8-bit. The TV uses FRC to simulate 10-bit signal, which according to most AV enthusiasts can be as good as native 10-bit. Though that's a discussion for another day. 60Hz is divisible by 4 so you can add 2 extra bits of data to it easily. The TV maps 0, 1, ...... 256 -> 0, 4, ...... 1024 and the remaining are done by FRC. 3 will be simulated by '0' 1/4th of the time and '1' 3/4th of the time.
You'll definitely benefit from getting a 10-bit signal into the TV. For that, you will need to set the HDMI mode to 'enhanced' from standard and use the correct HDMI port (try HDMI 4 as well).

I am using TP-Link Archer C6. My ACT provides me 200 Mbps connection. I. am getting 200 Mbps on both 2.4 & 5 GHz. Used to use D-Link 816 before., The C6 seemed to be having higher range and shows less drop in signal
The HDMI mode is already set to Enhanced and i have had no issues with my gaming. Was just wondering if i can squeeze in every bit that TV has to offer. Will switch to HDMI 4 and check.

There's no way you're getting 200 Mbps on 2.4 GHz unless you use a much higher-end router than C6. I've used the equivalent A6 and the higher-end C1200 and neither gave over 60-70 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. 200 Mbps was definitely possible over 5 GHz though, but A6 had much lower range.
Thats a first I guess. Everywhere else I read 2.4 gives only 60-70mbps even next to the router.
Can you check again?
Did u enquire Guntur reliance? They usually do deliveries within city. May charge a bit.
After 20th, they will be hard pressed to meet targets, good time to visit. U79 does not have any offers to worry about, just stock availability.
already ordered from hyd.
one of my friends is picking up and getting it when he is coming back to my place
they said only 14 pcs available in all of south india
Iam staying in 3BHK with old 2.4ghz router. Range has never been a problem but speed maxes out at 65mbps while I have a 150mpbs internet connection. Just wanted to tap into the 5ghz band for greater bandwidth. Mesh routers and AX seem overkill at the moment where the tvs are the biggest consumers of bandwidth.
So which higher end router above C6/A6 to look at?

5GHz will have much lower range than 2.4 GHz (Higher frequency == faster attenuation since it has more energy). This is why 5GHz routers also have 2.4 GHz so that if you're outside the range you can tap into 2.4 GHz and get some internet rather than nothing.
You can look at the C1200 if you have a strict budget of ₹3000. It costs just ₹500 more than the C6/A6 and has much better signal retention for 5GHz. I was able to get signal despite there being a cupboard and a full bathroom between me and router + 25 feet distance. For me, the difference between the C1200 and A6 was beyond massive. Where A6 was unusable C1200 had more than 100 Mbps signal remaining.
If you have a slightly higher budget than the C1200, look at the C80. It has 3x3 MiMo so even your 2.4 GHz band will be able to reach ~100 Mbps with a recent phone/laptop. The C80 also has smart band selection option where you can name both SSIDs the same and as you go out of range it will automatically switch your device to 2.4 GHz without disconnection.

Yes they are the same. A series is for amazon and c is for offline retail but both are available on amazon
Doesn't make sense to set a permanent ip address on a device which will be connected to multiple network like laptop or phone. Also u cant set permanent ip addresses on some IOT devices. Why i need that is another topic but given that most routers have this feature, it is a shortcoming in tenda mesh systems.
Not allowing me to set a different ssid for 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks means that i cant force my client to choose one over the other and would rather have to rely on the client to choose it on its own. Some times it doesn't make the right choice.
Also these mesh systems dont have a handover protocol. So if u start moving from one room to the other then Ur phone will remain connected to original router even though the router, in the room u have moved to ,will have better signal and speed. With different ssid for each hub this problem can be solved. Setting separate ssid should be an option, not something that should be forced.
Not being able to configure the router settings without the app is another big problem.
I know mesh systems can be set with a wired blackhaul but my point is that it is not a requirement for them.
Mesh systems are clearly made for general public who want easy to setup systems without much options to fiddle.
Call up amar 81785 60513
He will assist you but u will have to visit the store to place the order

Well, my devices absolutely shift to a different node when I move from one room to another.
Yes, it should be an option to have it named differently. But there are advantages to having 2.4 and 5G named the same. It's not a straight disadvantage.
A lot of high-end routers have this as an optional feature so that you don't disconnect even if you move to a different room far away and shift you to 2.4 GHz signal. If you have a download going on or are connected to a VPN, it's vital that you don't disconnect. If a router doesn't have this feature, I won't buy it period. It should be optional though.
That's a blatant generalization. A lot of mesh systems have a lot of advanced options. Tenda is a low-midrange solution. There are amazing mesh systems out there which give you a lot of flexibility.
Anyway, let's just agree to disagree. We are doing off-topic discussion on this thread. I hope your TP-link A6 system serves you well.

Yeah i was surprised too. 2.4 GHz connection's max speed was 300 Mbps as per the product specs 1200 Mbps for 5GHz. Although i get 200 Mbps on laptop only and not phone.
U7980 is available in vizag reliance store.
