How is your speed test? Do you get the subscribed speed or Unifi capped slightly lower?
*
both subscribed at 500mbps
Unifi
- direct LAN cable to wifi router, i get 300ish up/down never above 400mbps. One of the reasons I was not happy with them.

Maxis
- upstairs wifi AP (upstairs 5g wifi > upstairs switch<2GbpsLAGports>downstairs switch > Maxis 6g wifi LAN port) - getting 530 download/98 upload
- still upstairs but connect direct to downstairs maxis wifi6 AP (very good signal + shared SSID with other devices) - getting 490 download/95 upload
** Initially i asked Maxis installer why upload is capped, he says its normal for Maxis...
** Amazed with the wifi6 speed upstairs. Almost full wifi strength bar connecting direct to downstairs AP. Just makes me think how much of RF signals bouncing off in my house and its transmission strength. One of the reasons I pull cable upstairs and downstairs.

***Extra Info***
***LAg setup is quite easy as well but need some basic networking knowledge else it will be alien stuff. (LAg, link aggregation is a process of binding 2 or more LAN ports for higher LAN throughput, eg, 2x1Gpbs port joined)
2 x TPLink SG105E(rm100 per switch) - https://static.tp-link.com/res/down/doc/TL-SG105E_V2_UG.pdf - pg18 talks about trunk
2 x 10meter Cat6 Cables(rm25 per cable)
- Some masonry drilling skills (power hammer drills + long drill bits)
- run cables to switches, configure to bond/lag them, assign the right VLANs
- configure upstairs AP to point to downstairs AP for WAN

- Where do I find the VLAN number option in my previous router, an Asus RT-AX3000, which is the key component to enable the Maxis Home fibre service?

- Any extra setup I should do for the Kaon AR2140 Wifi 6 router?

Hi, i went to Maxis dealer in 1Utama and tell them i wish to transfer from Unifi to Maxis... I asked if there is any promotion if I perform the transfer.. They replied me no.
How do you guys get the 6 months free?
