Have personally used and consumed Daawat's brown rice and I find it to be quite good. Can't say about Kohinoor.

 

thank you, ordering that one!

Can anyone suggest a 4k 60hz monitor for work use? Will be hooked up to a MacBook Pro.

Should be 27" or above. 

Not looking for something too fancy like 144hz or 1ms, not of much use.

This could be too much but wanted people view on which talcum powder do people use

slightly over 1.5k but a successor to the award winning E10 series. Used that one for a long time until Tim Cook decided -3.5mm for everyone.

Anybody suggest a decent router around 5-8k a bit more is okay. Need minimum 4gigabit ports as house cat 5e hardwired. No mesh system for now. had a netgear router which stuck my thunderstorm and wan port went caput last year. Flashed openwrt and used another port as wan but now the router keeps disconnecting lan and wifi.
Needs 1) good coverage . (dont need extreme good just decent) 2) Good speed for copying stuff from nas. 3) Can handle 6 or more devices at a time and needs a proper warranty.

Using the spiritual predecessor 878 in the bedroom. Hardwired and makkhan. This is the wifi 6 version so should be just as good.

Any suggestion for a 2 access-point wireless package?

I am currently using a pretty average D-Link router to which the consoles are hardwired but the range isn't that great, speeds drop hard.

So need something which gives another access point. Don't need ports on the access point.

D-Link are very good. Their international forums I mean. The India support is very honest and eager but like most outsourced companies don’t have the leverage to push customer painpoints and feedback up the hierarchy as expected. 
 

When I first got the 878 I had an issue with the Open NAT running both X1X and PS4 Pro simultaneously. The customer support not surprising had no answer but the forum has a guy who had direct contacts with the devs and made the fix happen within 2 months. The india support has some amazing legit networking-educated kids who know what they’re doing. Sadly they have no way to pass critical feedback to the core international team. 
 

Anyhoo the router works like a charm as an AP now (was earlier the primary in the living room). On gigabit hardwired I get this which is on par for what it promises.

Sorrybro didn’t quite get your question.  
 

If you’re looking for a primary router, there’s tonnes to choose. My personal fav is the one I use currently Netgear RAX80. But there’s options from D-Link (a brand I personally have come to adore over the years) to TP Link (never touching chini maal).

I need a 2-point wireless mess system.

Main unit should have atleast 3 gigabit ports and the secondary unit should connect wirelessly to the main, hopefully maintaining atleast 60-70% of the original speed over 5ghz.

 

I would have bought AX6000 but I think a 2 point system will be better for 3800sq. feet.

Also can't hardwire.
