I got no idea why my post got reported. I think I better make my situation clearer.
I bought a new router, Asus RT-AX3000. I stayed in a 2-storey house and my BTU is located in my room at second floor. I have a long LAN cable connected this BTU with Innatech RG4332 downstairs in my living room. Currently, RG4332 is connected with my TV and IPTV. My intended setup is to replace RG4332 with RT-AX3000 by connecting my BTU to AX3000 and leave this new router remain at second floor while turn my old RG4332 into a network switch with the same long LAN cable connecting to AX3000. I have sketched a diagram below.

From my research, I found that DD-WRT cannot support RG4332 so I have no choice but to sacrifice 1 LAN port to turn it into a network switch. May I know if I connect AX3000 to RG4332 LAN1-LAN1 and remain VLAN ID of LAN 4 on RG4332 to 600, will HyppTV use its own independent bandwidth or parasitise my own bandwidth?
Don’t worry about getting reported. We’ve got a lot of weird kids here. Probably someone who has no other avenue to exercise a semblance of authority.
Anyway, I asked about something similar back in 2011.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=47607014I installed only one ethernet cable to the living room. Thought I had it all covered but didn't realised I needed another one for HyppTV so ended up using Homeplugs for a few months.
What I'm using now is exactly like your "Desired Setup."

(WiFi Router 2 (Mikrotik RB2011) & HyppTV downstairs (the Switch in the diagram is part of the RB2011)) <--------> (BTU & WiFi Router 1 (Mikrotik hAP AC2) upstairs)
What you need to do is to turn that lone ethernet cable of yours into a VLAN trunk capable of carrying both the internet and PlayTV.
The Asus probably can do it. For RM700, it better. May not be exposed in the web config but I'm sure you can configure a VLAN trunk via command line. RG4332, don't think so. So you'll need something like another router or a switch that can handle VLANs.

Smart switch like
this?? It work like wired router? I am sorry, I am not familiar with network stuff, I hope you do not mind me asking such basic question.

Not that, you'll need what is commonly known as a managed switch. But anything that can handle VLANs will do. Can be a router, can be a switch, whichever is cheaper. I use a wifi router downstairs cos I also want wifi there.
