Currently using the wifi 6 router provided by maxis. It was not the black router advertised by maxis. The reception is quite bad and 2.4ghz doesnt reach 300mbps. Only close to 80-100mbps.

wifi 2.4ghz max dl 100mbps is fine due to its standard which is half duplex transmission.
If you want to test max dl speed, please use LAN cable to test.
Else disable 2.4ghz and fully use 5ghz with MIMO function enable.
Get mesh if you suffer coverage issue.

Can suggest any cheap mesh units tht supports wifi 6

I hope the picture can help to identify the router. From what the technician told me, it is huawei. No model name no specs or anything.

Yes, it is a Huawei model

It is an enhanced version of the famous HG8245 with WiFi 6 hence the model code LG8245X6. But, the performance is kinda poor.

How's your experience using it?

The router performance is indeed poor.
Thinking of getting TP-Link AX20 or AX73 I don't know which one is worthit for me.
