Any of you use mesh system, any good one's to recommend for 500mbps unifi. Looking at Google Wifi, and Nest Wifi, both doesn't have any advance options.
Deco M9 Plus, if you want a budget option. You can get AiMesh but that would be pricey.

I just installed 2 unit Deco M9 Plus in my house (2 more in my parents).
What I found from my research is that no mesh system gets all the advanced routing stuff that 'proper' routers have. They're really for simplicity only. So if you want to choose your 2.4G channel or VPN, look elsewhere.
That being said, my wife is really happy with our wifi speed and coverage now, so quite worth it for me.
You are right.

Does the Deco also auto pick for you if it's going got 5G or 2.4G? Yeah mostly i'm just getting it for the coverage and speed, just thought if there is any nice advance routing options on it, guess not.
Yes, you can’t set 2.4 or 5 separately.

received my 1111 asus ac86u from taobao yesterday
finish setup and OMG, its so good.
wifi @ 5ghz is getting me full speed of 300 mbps going thru 1.5 wall from living room to my bedroom.
but cant get unifi tv box to work with hypp tv, dunno if i somehow messed up my white unifi tv box. vlan is configured @ 600 already for port 4.
flashed merlin today and gonna tried it out again later at night.
whats good channel for 5ghz? i just have to test each and every channel for speed and ping test to figure out?
and how to get more channel on 5ghz? i only get unii1 and 3 channel, only 8 of them. which region allow all channel selection?
Yours is China unit, so it will be a bit limited. Keep in mind that if there are any issues, you have to send your unit back to China as Asus Malaysia don’t support China unit.
There is no good 5Ghz channel per se, you have to test for yourself.
