Halo friends, want to ask for your all opinions. Now im using tp link ax archer ax90 as my main router, and the 2 mesh m9+ provided by TM. However, my room at the end of the house can only receive 200 - 300mbps [i have 800mbps].

So my question is, if i buy another single wifi 6 deco mesh and use it as my main mesh and the two m9+ as my side mesh, any hope to increase the speed to my room? My main router is hardwire to my first m9+, so im planning to = Main router hardwire to new wifi 6 deco main mesh and hardwire again to my second m9+, but the third mesh wouldn't able to hardwire since its too far away and not convenient to do so.

No prob, the second to third mesh is connecting wirelessly also.

I see. So it would be main router hardwire to main mesh, main mesh hardwire to second mesh, while second mesh is connecting wirelessly to third mesh. So the main mesh will be using x68 right? The second and third mesh would be the m9+. Not really hoping to get full 800mbps, but if can increase to 400 - 500 mbps then it would be worth it. I check the deco app and the signal strength only show two bars for my current setup, so would like to get full 3 bars.

Other than x68, another other wifi 6 mesh? Will x20 suffice?

Thanks for the suggestion. It's an apartment, but the walls are quite thick.

So main router (hardwire) - X68 (hardwire) - M9+ (wireless) - X68. < like this right? But won't the m9+ wireless speed bottleneck the x68 in my room?

Sorry for my bad drawing haha but basically something like this. Room 3 is quite far away from the main mesh right now and there's things like door, kitchen, bathroom, thick walls is blocking the signals albeit my house is only around 800sqft.

So yeah, hence my plan to buy another mesh to put on the cabinet there. My house is long rather than rectangle.

The outer wall of the 1st room has sofa, the 2nd room outer wall has chair and table for dining, not to mention all the outer walls there don’t have wall plug. So no choice, I have to put my router and main mesh at my living room since the fibre is there and back to the wall plug problem also.

Hence I want to put another near the dining table there to increase the signal strength to the third room. I agree with the optimisation, but again no choice since my house doesn’t have a lot of wall plug.

Can we sell the m9+ given by TM? or need to give back when cancel our contract?

Alright thanks, I plan to stick until my contract finish anyway and wanted to upgrade to deco x90. Plan to sell the m9+ and add on a bit money to buy x90.

Ya, doesnt matter if cancel or continue use, the fees are still the same anyway Might as well use until contract finish and see whats the next step. Always wanted to use digi fibre as it has rebates with my digi postpaid.

My speed tripling after changing from deco m9+ to x90. Can even get around 700 - 800mbps. No regrets

Wired backhaul from main router to main mesh, then main mesh wireless backhaul to second mesh. I bought 2 pack.

Second mesh. The distance between the first mesh and second mesh not very far and i use a 10m cat 6 cable to link between the main router and the main mesh. Since i ard bought the ax90 last year, might as well just use it. Another thing is my house has a lot of wifi devices and i got 3 other family members all very tech heavy use. So my other family members will use the ax90 while i will use the x90.

Edit: this is the speed im able to get through second mesh



ya, whole setup cost me around 2.2k. I bought the ax90 last year at around 829 and the x90 i bought yesterday for 1349 at harvey norman cause got do promotion. If bought online then a bit cheaper but dont want to wait since raya sure package will delay. Spend a bit more also ok since internet very important for me and will be more than enough for years to come.

Depend on your use case, range and wall thickness. For me since i download a lot so i need to have a bit high end mesh to help me achieve the speed that i paid for, my house walls also quite thick so there's that.

In AP mode, TP link app and LAN IP website to configure your internet settings is very limited. If through router mode all the internet settings are good enough for normal users. No need to subscribe the service, quite useless IMO.

Both the AX90 and X90 has 5ghz and 5ghz - 2. I close the 2.4ghz on X90 since i dont need it. My family members room is nearer to the ax90 hence i ask them to connect it and the speed is more than suffice for them. Since my pc is at the very back of my house, hence i need the mesh to achieve the download speed that i want. Forget to mention that the second mesh has a cat 6 lan cable connect directly to my pc.

Agree i feel after paying such a high price for your product yet you want ppl to subscribe something that is very basic and essential is outright stupid.

I saw at the xiaomi store last few days this ax3000 mesh like not bad. The price is rm499 for 2 mesh which is very cheap.

ax3000

tm really failure

last week i want to downgrade my plan through the unifi app from 800 to 300 cause money is a bit tight for me atm.

one week ltr no phone calls, email or any response from them. ask thrugh unifi chat and assure me will contact me within a few days. guess what, no response again. now chat with the support again and say will open a report for me. lets see how it goes this time. really dont understand, why cant support just do it and we as a customer have to go through so many hoops and loops just to downgrade the plan?

after still no response from the report, just now i directly call 100 and its done within 10 mins...

request downgrade from 800 to 300 with normal unifi tv since im still in contract dont want to bear any penalty, but no speed upgrade promo

the only thing i found weird is that the cs told me there may be some installation required? i tot from system there can straight downgrade?

Tm just called me

Since I’m still in contract, if I want to downgrade I will need to pay the penalty of my remaining months, and not only that, they ask me to go tm point to do it myself since 100 cannot do it. Lmao, then what’s the point of 100? Everything have to go service centre do, what a waste of time.

Also, being forced to pay the remaining month is just scummy.

im really annoyed right now, ask 3 times livechat support, all 3 gives different answers. One said need to pay 300 penalty, one said need to pay 200 penalty, one said no need.

Yesterday I called 100, ask again no need pay penalty but will renew contract 2 years. Today get called from them again, say sorry 100 cannot do downgrade, need to go tmpoint and do it youself, further more need to pay the remaining months before you can downgrade.

DAFUQ?!

EDIT: can anyone confirm with me if downgrade speed still in contract need to pay the remaining month?

4 months, furthermore my place only have tm infrastructure and no time here so im stuck with tm anyway

the reason why im annoyed is because all of them gave different answers, if the first time i ask and they provide a clear and concise answer, i wouldn't be so fed up at all.
