Yes it's working just fine now. Like I said, 2.4GHz is still a bit shot but your high bandwidth devices are all gonna be on 5GHz anyway, it won't really affect you since as long as the devices, such as IoT or low bandwidth devices won't frequently drop and needs to be reconnected, it's fine. Keep in mind that TP-Link might have already fixed the issue with another revision of the hardware, currently there's V1, V1.2 and V1.26. I don't know how TP-Link distribute their hardware but the newer revision might be more stable when compared to V1, and since I have the V1, I can't help much on that anymore, so just remember to try and get a firmware from TP-Link if the performance is sub par.

Also if you want to get the EAP670 at a bit of a cheaper price, try and score it during deals. I got one of mine during holiday deals from SG for RM661 converted, so keep a close eye on shopee etc and see if it'll go on sale or not

Yeah, really expensive, after convert more than RM3k, my home minister will kill me

maybe in future....... haha

Wahhh RM661 is cheap, u bought from Singapore?

I just saw viewnet in lazada bout RM 683. Noted on the hardware version.

Ya it was on SG national day sale from my supplier at work. So got it to replace my existing APs.

Viewnet one should be on sale also, since MSRP is a lot higher than that. Also I spend most of my time on shopee so I don't really know the market on Lazada

But interesting to see Viewnet doing it at that price

cyclone2 from your diagram, since are you planning to connect the Living Room TV & TV Box directly to the ISP Modem/Router, does it mean that you are using the ISP Modem/Router as main router?
If so, i think it would be a waste to the new network and features that you are planning to setup, coz i don't think the ISP Modem/Router is powerful enough to handle this kind of network.

Not sure what hardware version they r selling. I'm asking the selling, most of time I'm using lazada, selling on shopee... haha....

Who know when you place order that time, they will tell u OOS....

Most probably I will put another 5 port switch in the rack 1 if I'm going to use back the existing LAN cable from developer. I'm not sure the existing cable is what category and still can be use or not as the house been empty since 2015. Also the termination of the cable is terrible.

Don't think i will change the fiber modem for now until I upgrade to 1 Gbps/2Gbps, I still have 1 old Netgear Nighthawk X6 R8000 router could be use as main router.

Thanks for reminder

The ISP Modem/Router is always recommended to be converted into bridge mode, then the only device connected to it will be the main router, and only then all other switches or devices to the main router.

The main objective of your new network is to manage the whole network in one interface via Mikrotik or OMADA. So if you use the old Netgear as main router, it would defeat the purpose as they are different systems.

From my understanding of your diagram, i think the sequence should be:
1) ISP Modem/Router (Bridge Mode)

*Networking devices here onwards are recommended to be of same brand (be it Mikrotik or TP-Link) to suit your objective.
2) Main Router (PPPOE, VLAN, DHCP, Firewall, and other necessary settings)

3) 8-Port POE and 16-Port Non-POE Switches (Unmanaged or managed by the main router)

4) APs connected to the switches

*Devices of other brands.
5) And finally all the CCTVs, IoT devices, NAS, etc., connected to either the APs or switches.

Noted, will look into it again. thanks.
