As per title, currently my house use all remote controlled ceiling fan. After 10 years, I think it's a hassle (sometimes the fan susah nak turn on/off, remote controller byk dah rosak, universal remote byk yg tak support)
so now want to change to normal ceiling fan yg guna regulator (is it?) to change the fan speed. So do I need to do rewiring/add extra wiring? Because from my understanding, normal fan need to have 2 wiring, one for on/off, one for regulator right? fan with remote just need wiring for on/off right?
thanks!

Its easy peasy lemon squeezy..
The switch wire goes to the regulator and then to the fan..
The regulator is mounted next to the existing switch and controls the fan speed..

I did the reverse conversation. Basically the out wire from the fan switch goes to the wall speed controller which connects to the fan.
Quite easy to switch remote to conventional wall speed controller. Just that you need to be extra careful when drilling the wall to mount the speed controller.
The fan should have the installation manual.
Else, get an electrician to install it for you.
