Hi, how do I set up my wifi to be is this configuration for maxis fibre?

Modem>Maxis Archer C5V Router>Tenda MW3 mesh

currently only managed to get the mesh to work by directly replacing the C5V as a router.

Hi, im looking to improve the connection on 2nd floor of the house. The router will be placed in the living room. current options:
1. Add 2 unit mesh system
2. Upgrade main router, use Maxis router as AP on 2nd floor. Not sure if possible?
3. If option 2 is not feasible, add another router as AP on 2nd floor

House type: double storey
Size of house: 1200sqft
Number of devices connected to WiFi: 7
Internet Speed: 300mbps
Budget: below RM300

800sqft should be fine with just a single router with strong coverage

ASUS TUF-AX4200 or TP-Link Archer AX73 but I heard it's discontinued now
Budget is kinda low

I suggest just get another cheap WiFi router, set it as access point mode and put it on the 2nd floor
