Has anyone tried to get their unifi user id and pw from TM? This is the reply I got from them:
"For your information we do not keep record of unifi password, so if you wish to get the password we will need to submit report to reset it and you will receive password within 24 hours via sms. Once receive password via sms internet will get disconnected and you will need to reconfigure the router to reconnect back."Sounds like a very complicated process. Why do they make it so hard for customers to use their own router?
For security reasons.

Which mesh wifi router has native support for unifi? really hope to get one to have house covered with good signal and constant surfing experience.
TP-Link and Asus have native support for Unifi.

I am using this method for both my set-ups:
BTU > TM/Maxis wifi router > Mesh
I'm not that technologically savvy so don't know if the second BTU > Mesh option works.
It will work. The TP-Link Deco now supports VLAN tagging.

icic. thanks. got it now.
i just wonder if the tp-link mesh wifi support pppoE connection so that unifi username and password can be entered to establish the connection directly on the mesh wifi to replace the need of tm/maxis wifi router totally. if yes, it will be nice.
becos for this setup, the mesh wifi will function like a wireless switch/bridge from the tm/maxis wifi router via the wired connection.
at this moment,
my home is setup is
BTU -> tm wifi router -> home plug (wired) at downstair -> home plug (support wireless but i disable it) at upstair and connect to a old unused 2.4Ghz wifi router (with the same ssid as the tm wifi router 5Ghz wifi network name) to function like a repeater but it does not repeat the signal from downstair wifi it just act as a wifi router to get the connection from the wired connection of the home plug upstair to simulate as repeater.
so when i go upstair, most of the time it switch to the upstair wifi (with the same ssid as below) but sometimes it does not switch automatically.
if i can change it to mesh wifi, it will be seamless when i roam around the house.
Your home setup is very messy. Just get the Deco M5 or M9 Plus, and use that with the BTU. Both now supports VLAN tagging. Remove everything else from the network.

From my TM member, the good news is these DECO M4 can be used as router or as repeater
The bad news is it does not have VLAN tagging. Thus, you need to let go HyppTV STB if you set is as router.

You need to update to the latest firmware to get VLAN tagging. It does support HyppTV now.
