I could not find the exact guide on what to do on both "unifi Box" and how to setup a "new Asus router" to the unifi Box. a small Gap and missing link in between.
Especially on what to set on unifi box when it connect the new Asus Router.(Or any router)

Below are my humble guides after play with some of the basic setting on both boxes.

Method One. 2 Wifi setup at both Unifi Box and New Router
Unifi Box Remain as main, Asus router as Extended Network router. In this setup we could have both UnifiBox wifi and Asus Router with Diff Wifi Setup. Both unifBox and Asus Router can stay at same place or Different location
Setup --;
- at unifi Box, set unifi pppoe and key in username n password. (If you have it in running already, just remain UnifiBox setting as it is)
- At Asus router, set as Access Point (AP) mode.
- At Asus router, as network extender, Asus router can set it owns 2.4Ghz n 5Ghz wifi.
- Connect physical cable UnifiBox Lan1/2/3/4 to Asus WAN port.

Method Two. Only Asus router need to do Wifi setting
Unifi Box server as modem only, and the network is pass over to Asus router for it unifi access. In this setup, unifi will serve as network bypass, Asus Router will be the main to control everything. Only Asus Router wifi will be available.

----------------------------------
Method One could be use when there is larger area to cover and it could minimize the dead spot area in your house. However, it is definitely not as good as MESH coverage.
Method Two is the recommended setup if the new Router are more advance. Where more setting to play with, and the LAN bandwidth quality is greater for LAN traffic and LAN game

For those novice who is looking for better LAN experience. Buy a good router.
