Hi sifus,
Want to ask i just installed TP Link X20 for my unifi, unfortunately realised that the unit only has 2 ports which one is taken by modem and the other taken by the HyppTV.
I want to ask any way to set the HyppTV port to be able to use with other devices? Eg Android TV Box?
Also any way to "force" devices to always stick to the 5ghz band instead of jumping between 2.4 and 5?
Thanks

Try this though YMMV. Tell TM you got your Mesh wifi from them. And that you want to use HyppTV but you also want to use the single free port for LAN. Hopefully they'll reconfigure HyppTV to one of the ports on the modem.

Just say TPLink Deco Mesh wifi if they ask you what model it is. You may have to lie or make dunno if they insist on the model of the mesh.

My auntie has the M4 which I bought for her, not from TM. This is what we did to get TM to reconfigure vlan600 to come out through the modem.

blacktubi, do you have other recommendation for Asus AX routers based on my requirement? Besides AX86u. Is it still a wise idea to get AC routers in 2021? laugh.gif Though I understand AC86u is a good router but if no better recommendation, then I will still stick to AC86u.

I'm using the unifi300 supplied dir-842 router and wishes to improve the 5G signal strength. Should i:
A) Replace router with AX73
B) Replace router with backhaul capable mesh kit
C) Add wifi extender (like dra-2060) to existing router
D) Go broke and get Asus ax86u

If B, which model is recommended?

Budget < rm600
For 2 storey 2200sqft haus.

Thanks.

TUF-AX3000 and RT-AX82U are only slightly better than the RT-AX3000 in terms of performance.

The RT-AX3000 is a great product but my main concern is still regarding IoT on 2.4Ghz.

No harm to try the RT-AX3000 and see if it works well for your situation.

Alright, I take your advice on that as many of my stuff are IoT. I will probably choose AC86u then, I saw it is less than RM 500 on Shopee.

If can use for another 3 years I think good enough for the money spent.

The 1.2v gave improved wireless performance compared to the v1. The v2 changed the chipset, but performance-wise is the same as v1.2.

Q3: How do I set up a OneMesh™ network for different types of devices?

A3: You can use a OneMesh™ Wireless Router or Modem Router with several sets of Range Extenders or Powerline Adapters to create a OneMesh™ network. Be aware, you cannot create a OneMesh™ network between two routers.

Q5: Can two OneMesh™ routers build a Mesh network?

A5: No. The OneMesh™ router can only be combined with OneMesh™ RE or OneMesh™ PLC to build Mesh networks.

so only Deco be able to Mesh between 2 router.

However, the main reason why I recommend this model is due to the class-leading 2.4Ghz signal on the RT-AC86U. I still find this router perform most reliably when dealing with IoT devices.

It's good that you mention the 2.4GHz signal on the RT-AC86U. I often see router reviews emphasize on 5GHz performance.

Are there any routers which have class leading performance for both 2.4 and 5GHz?

Planning to get TUF AX3000 for my house. 900sq ft unit, master bedroom(at the end of living hall) has bad wifi signal. I have LAN Cable connected to Bedroom 3 just next to living hall where I put my Main Router and Modem. My plan is 300mbps unifi, so far using AC1200 by TM lol cos I bought a faulty TP LINK AX5400 from Mono and threw the box lol.

U think TUF AX3000(living hall) AiMesh + Asus AX55(Bedroom 3) would be good ? I need good wifi signal in Master bedroom

Yup, that's more than enough for the size of your condo.

Check your LAN cable make sure it's working. Some developers delivered property with non-functioning LAN port or it got damaged during reno . doh.gif

If not serious gaming, I suggest start with just the AX3000 first and see how the coverage is. May be good enough for you.
Can always add the AX55 or AX56u later if you think you need it.
