Guys, I'm on 500mbps unifi and my current D-Link x1860z keeps giving me headache as the mesh node keeps on getting no internet connection so I keep on needing to pair it weekly. Currently staying in a medium sized apartment with 2 bedroom.

Can suggest me a router/mesh/mix setup with the below requirements:
- Main router should have 4ports or 3 minimum
- Node mesh/second router has at least 2 ports (gigabit)
- Wired backhaul is no go for me

I've been looking into Asus XT12 but that seems to be too overpowered as my connection is only 500mbps. XT8 meanwhile has only 3 LAN ports. Is it better that I go for two triband router or stick to mesh routers or mix? But I'm worried about mixing in terms of performance on the node as my workstation and master bedroom will be near to the node.

The ZenWiFi XT8 would be great for you. It has the same amount of LAN ports as the ZenWiFi XT12

However, do bear in mind of the free upgrade from Unifi

What about the offering from Tp-Link in your opinion. Is XT8 worth compared to Deco X95 + Unmanaged switch if I really need the ports


I saw ROG Rapture GT6 support UNII-4 however can it be used in Malaysia for GT6 bought in Malaysia? Seems like handy additional freq for wireless backhaul but I'm worried it can't be utilized.here. Any downsides?
