I got offer by Unifi for 2 units of tp link Deco M4 for RM 15 per month for 24 months, so total RM 360. Separate contract than Unifi. Is that a good deal? On a glance it's a bit cheaper than Deco M4 listing in shopee.

To be honest, it's a 2 storey house, and only 2 farthest room and kitchen has low signal. So at most only 1 unit needed I guess. I'm also using dir 842 c2 router.

Cost aside, do you think I should get it? Im not sure installation comes with the package or not.

Edit. I'm willing to pull and route cat6 cable from dir 842 to other spots.

it works in 2 units and above, 1 unit connects to the internet and the extends the signal to the other unit

Can't both unit as as AP and connect to the existing dir 842?

it works as an AP with lan cable attached, hence are you gonna pull lan cable thru your house to connect the units to your Dir 842

Yeah, I'm willing to pull Lan cable through the house. Not that hard.

if you can pull lan cable, then there are many options for AP besides Deco

put router at the middle of the staircase...1 unit of tplink c1200 can cover 7000sf 2sty bungalow already

It's a really good deal considering that it's 24 months to pay the RM360. I'll probably get a set when I have the time. Wonder if I can do it over the phone or if I have to go TMPoint. Shopee cheapest is RM328 or RM359 with 15% coins cashback.

I plan to use it as APs too. My main router is a Mikrotik. Very curious about its mesh implementation.

Are you sure that it's a separate contract? If it is, even better.

I specifically ask whether its a new contract or its going to extend the original unifi contract. The operator says it won't, it will be a new contract.

In the end after consideration of the ohuse I'm in, I only need another unit of router to act as AP, if I even want to. At this point this is not a necessity to me.

If all you need is a second AP, you can get another DIR-842 or another D-Link eg DIR-868L. Wifi roaming normally works better with same brand.

If you want faster/seamless Wifi roaming when you move, 2 Deco M4 are good choice.

separate contract just for the deco m4?

so lets say my unifi current contract has ended

and i apply for deco m4 2 years to pay rm 360

so it's a new contract just for deco?

wont affect my current unifi package right? i can still change my unifi package without contract bound? as long as i keep to pay that RM 15/month for 24 months?

What I understand is that you can even terminate your unifi contract while still paying the m4 deco contract.

Just ordered mine through 100 a minute ago. Did you get a set too?

Anyway CS states quite clearly that the Deco M4 contract is independent from the UniFi contract. Minimum 7 days to process the order, damn slow. Then another few days for delivery by J&T.

No, the router I have is already good enough for the whole house. I don't need another two unit of repeater (since I'm willing to pull cable). If the router breakdown I can purchase router off market.

Although if its for a new house, I think Unifi should have given option for a single router or 2 mesh units like this.

great, i might get a set too lol

since i already have two cables at the exact point thats great for deco backhaul

I just placed an order and as mentioned by brother soonwai, the delivery will take time from 3 to 7 working days and the company responsible to delivery the item to house is J&T.

Any ticket created in myunifi or email or sms acknowledgement for your order? Mine nothing yet. My order done over the phone about 1pm yesterday.

I didn't receive any smses neither do any emails. There is a ticket created and marked as closed ticket. Just want to see the status tomorrow. Keep on checking my mail for this lol.

Oh yeah, same here. A closed "complaint" ticket for my call to 100.

Do update me if there is any news from your side bro.
