QUOTE(spreeeee @ Jun 3 2021, 05:16 PM) trying to understand how to setup/install the deco m4, from the video link guide below: https://unifi.com.my/unifi-experiencedoes 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

QUOTE(XweienX @ Sep 29 2021, 05:38 PM) 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 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

QUOTE(hammerjit @ Jul 8 2021, 05:20 PM) 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? it's best to only use a mesh so pick either modem - router (tenda) or modem - mesh as for the 2nd yes but the 2nd unit will have less peformance since itself uses wifi to connect back to the main unit, reducing speeds
