Want to ask; is WIFI7 receiver compatible with WIFI 6E broadcaster as in both will able connect in 6GHZ band?

It depends not every WiFi 7 device comes with 6Ghz but WiFi 6E device is almost guaranteed to support 6Ghz

I am using BE200 wifi7 card which I believe has all 3 bandwidth on my PC (addin), but when I try use my Galaxy S23FE (WIFI 6E) as wifi hotspot I can only pair both in 2.4G & 5G mode but in 6G my PC cannot "see" the S23FE even when both are forced into 6G mode. Even when my phone is beside that PC, it still cannot detect. Any advice is appreciated.

I don’t think you can do hotspot on 6GHz

Forcing your phone on 6Ghz is only for when it’s connecting to a router or AP, nothing to do with hotspot

Get a high performance mesh wireless system but it will definitely exceed your RM600 budget

I will choose AX73 as it's based on Broadcom which I find to be slightly more stable

If you want to get 500Mbps upstairs, need something higher end and must be tri-band

I am looking for similar router too as the ground level is full 500 mbps but first floor only around 50mbps
How about this model? will it be able to retain full speed for both downstair and upstair?

Xiaomi Mesh System BE3600 Pro, the 3pack option is cost around RM699

These are the models available locally that can deliver 500Mbps on wireless backhaul, sorted according to their performance

Basically the more you pay, the more likely it can deliver close to 500Mbps

TP-Link Deco XE75, Deco BE65, Deco BE85

ASUS ZenWiFi XT8, ROG Rapture GT6, ZenWiFi BT10, ZenWiFI BQ16

Thank you so much for your kind reply. Is it ok if I use the TP-Link Deco XE75 upstairs while maintaining the Deco M4 downstairs? So that I could get the 500Mbps upstairs?

Nope, wouldn't solve your issue unfortunately.

Must be high end for both units.

Would a Deco X50 2-pack be sufficient you guys think? For 1400sq ft condo?

My Tenda AC23 just recently died. Any good replacement which performs close or better than it? I'm ok with wifi 6.
