How about I use 2 units of Tenda AC23, which is AC2100 router, WiFi AC can goes up to 866 Mbps + 866 Mbps = 1733 Mbps, should I able to get at least 250 Mbps of speed at second floor if I set 1 unit Tenda AC23 as main router, and another one set as repeater at second floor?
Will the WiFi AC signal repeating in between 2 Tenda AC23 router utilize the 866 + 866?

I ask Tenda Malaysia technical, and they cannot commit me the speed, they say normally upstairs, the internet speed will cut at least 30%, meaning if now I got a 300 Mbps plan, I max can only get 200 Mbps, and may become much slower, even though this Tenda AC23 have 4x4 MIMO on WiFi AC for the speed of 1733 Mbps.

I think I should bought another unit of Tenda AC23 to test ya? Then this will be among the cheapest mesh/extender system that operate at 1733 Mbps for Wifi 5Ghz?

If 300Mbps, I think it maybe can go full speed if only your device connected at node and for main router, only the node is connected. Multiple devices connected to both and node surely will give drop in terms of speed but I don't know how much because it depends on the location, number of walls and shape of the house.

Does the Deco M4's ethernet backhaul works?

Yes, using 1 M5 & 2 M4s

trying to understand how to setup/install the deco m4, from the video link guide below:

https://unifi.com.my/unifi-experience

does the main node remain plugged-in to the LAN2 wifi router?

Their setup guide is not great.
Try one that sets it up in PPPoE mode

Hi everyone, when I check maxis fibre plan they give their "next-gen wifi 6 router", under the highlights it says there is built-in "Easy Mesh" technology.

Does this mean when I want to use 3rd party mesh units (e.g. Deco), I don't have to connect the first AP to the router by LAN? Can straight away put the router and Decos in the same "mesh" with same ID & password?

Or either way still need LAN connection to router (if lets say I want to keep the router and use both Decos as AP)? Thanks sifus

so basically come back to first post, its ok to use any router that you have (like im using tenda-ac18), and then i put another mesh unit at upstairs connected with LAN?
- The ssid shared the same with the ac18 router?
- Then In future if i feel need to install another unit mesh, but i dont have wired, can i connect the second unit by wifi alone?

Yes, but it will NOT work with Deco, only other mesh units compatible with Easy Mesh

TP-Link OneMesh and Deco mesh is proprietary, same goes with Asus AiMesh

Only mesh nodes so far I found locally that support Easy Mesh is D-Link COVR
