Not sure but the TP-Link seems to be its own proprietary mesh protocol and not WiFi Alliance EasyMesh

WiFi 6 doesn't matter too much if your devices don't support WiFi 6, or you have slower speeds plans.

Replacing would be a better option but if you really want you could use the M4 as an AP but not sure how that will work out in terms of roaming, interference and compatability between the 2.

Isn't AX21 just a AX20 in an AX73 chassis?

Can consider TP-Link AX10/20 during sales (around RM200)
Or Asus but more premium

Considered using a 3rd party ad blocking DNS? Like Adguard or NextDNS

Do note some devices (such as Samsung TVs) will avoid using ad blocking DNS.

And apple devices may bypass with Private Relay
Most browsers / android might bypass with Private DNS
You need to disable them

So, you're currently doing this setup?

ONT/Modem -> TM Provided Router -> Deco Mesh and nodes
This is what tm recommends but it's flawed as your original tm router is still broadcasting wifi and causing conflicts.

Consider
ONT/Modem -> Deco Mesh
There are guides online if you search for deco mesh PPPoE setup
Do note that if you use the old Unifi TV Box that plugs into lan4/vlan600 things might be a bit more complicated.

If you want to just upgrade to your new wifi 6 router by tm, you could just repeat your current setup
ONT/Modem -> TM wifi 6 router -> Deco Mesh
But uhhhh... Mixing wifi 6 alongside this seems messy 😅

These new routers do have a mesh standard, wifi alliance easymesh, but not compatible with deco

It will work fine I think

U Mobile doesn't let you use unlimited plans on mifi routers
not sure about XOX

Yes it has a webpage but why that router? its pretty old and is known for some overheating issues

You need to look for EasyMesh compatible nodes
Only ones I know are Maxis provided ones and some D-Link COVR models

Deco will not mesh together
Pick one of them
You could skip the kaon and directly attach your deco

Unless they changed it in the past year, I'm pretty sure it's only TP-Link, NO-IP and Dyn

extender/repeaters are bad

mesh, depends on model

the best is still always cable

Drop the TIME Huawei router into modem only mode (ask time CS) and connect up the deco as router, via PPPoE

2. Always use Lan cable whenever possible

1. Yep
2. Well, if you set back the WiFi name to the same, probably fine
But this is assuming there is no need for port forwarding or other special configurations

Aginet App password is not known (or at least I dont know it so I never used the app)

You have to manage it from webui, via 192.168.1.254
then the credentials printed will work

Maxis branded right...

Please try the following credentials

Tier 1
user
user

Tier 2
Administrator
[Serial Number]

Tier 3
MaxSysAdm
!!bestHOME!!XXXX
XXXX = last 4 of Serial Number

No, those provided credentials are set by MAXIS on their provided routers

Your own Deco mesh would have a default password printed on it

Both are tplink products, but isp provided ones are usually customized with special features or locked down in settings
so that's why despite resetting, the maxis provided router keeps its default maxis passwords

Allo should be using Dynamic IP but it seems like things may have changed over time

Digging through the Allo Thread I found some possible solutions

1. ONU - TPLINK AX53, Dynamic IP
2. PPPoE, Singapore-Singtel profile

TP-Link OneMesh is not compatible with Deco Mesh

You have to get Deco models

TP-Link brand will only mesh with TP-Link and Deco brand will only mesh with Deco

You can mix wifi 5 and 6 together
