Can someone recommend a good router + mesh wifi setup for below to maximise 800mbps speed over wifi?

House type: Landed
Size of house: 3000-3500 sqft, 2 storey
Features required: just need for wifi6 and Unifi TV box, prefer wifi 6 to future proof router
Number of devices connected to WiFi: ~5 computers, ~10 mobile phones/tablets
Internet Speed: Unifi turbo 800Mbps package
Budget: below RM500 possible? if not, please advise something below RM1k.

Router will be placed at ground floor TV area, is there 1 router that can give the 800mbps wifi speed to 2nd floor? if not, what's the suitable router + mesh wifi setup?

thanks in advance!

I dare not say a router or mesh can give you 800mbps all the time, as it also depend on your devices and several factors that affects WiFi speed. Below RM500 I would suggest Tp-Link Archer AX73. If you willing to spend more, then TP-Link Deco X20 twin pack or X60 twin pack.

Thanks for the recommendation. If I get Deco X20 or X60, do I still need the router? or below is the setup that doesn't need other routers anymore:

Fiber modem -> ethernet port -> X20/X60 on ground floor + X20/X60 on second floor

I have a wall ethernet that connects first floor to second floor, can the Deco take advantage of the wall ethernet connection?

Yup... full gigabit connection between the Decos.

I use a pair of X20.  thumbsup.gif  Replacing my 1 year ++ Deco M4. Both my deco connected using ethernet too. Solid.

I see only 2 ethernet ports in the decos, if 1 is for the fiber connection, and another 1 is for wall connection, means no more for Unifi IPTV box? how to setup so it can serve wall connection to 2nd floor and IP tv? IP TV use wireless connection?

Don't need other router. Just connect the first unit to BTU and setup your Unifi connection.
Check if your UniFi TV can connect using wireless? If it is those 4k box, can use Wifi.
Both Maxis and Unifi same price if you take the 30mbps or 100mbps. Check either Celcom or Digi if you don't intend to go 100mbps plan.

My unifi tv box can connect to wireless, but when I try to play tv, it shows no ethernet connection (black screen with crossed out ethernet icon), even though in settings, it says connected to wireless already.

I have the old unifi tv box (small white box), it now works with router LAN 4 iptv port only.

Now I plan to move my router to another location and use a switch to extend the connection to TV box area using normal Ethernet port, is there a way to configure the tv box to work with normal LAN port instead of dedicated iptv port?

Can, you trunk HyppTV's vlan600 onto the same cable as your LAN. You'll need some VLAN aware router and switches for this.

This is a simplified version of what's in my house.

Or pull another cable just for HyppTV.

The red color VLAN line, I currently just use normal ethernet cable to connect, what's special cable need to be done? and I guess I have to configure something with the switch to make the trunk aware of vlan600?

Yes, the red line is just one normal Cat5E ethernet cable (with 2 virtual LANs in it.) Everything is configured on the routers and the switches.

Can shed some light what to configure in router to put 2 vlan through a router LaN port?

I using D-link DIR-842, and noticed there's no option to use WPA2 only for wireless, it only has option for WPA/WPA2, is there a way to disable WPA to make wireless more secured?
