Just picked up the Xiaomi BE3600 Pro router (Xiaomi Malaysia unit with Global English firmware), and I was pleasantly surprised — it supports VLAN tagging right out of the box! :thumbsup:



Even better, it includes pre-configured VLAN profiles for several local ISPs, which makes the setup process super easy.



If you’re looking for a budget-friendly replacement for the stock UniFi router, this one’s definitely worth considering. It’s not quite on par with ASUS routers in terms of advanced features or UI polish, but for under RM300, it really holds its own — no major complaints from me.

That said, I’m not a big fan of the Mi Router UI — it’s a bit cluttered and not the most intuitive to navigate.

My connection to UniFi:

No. You still need the modem
On the new modem+router all-in-one, you can just put it into bridge mode so you can still use your own router

There are routers that can fully eliminate the modem but it's not going to be cheap & it's not going to be easy
Because you need a router with an SFP port and you also need to buy an SFP module to plug into the SFP port
