The Zyxel Multy X will it work, if the both router connect with UTP cable to the Modem? This is not problem? Or I just need to connect 1 router?

    I mean connect the 2 router to the Modem 2 LAN Port. 
    -> 2 routers are 2 Multy X units? It's not very clear about your description.

    Can you share what kind topology you want?
    And do you want that two Multy X nodes are connected via Ethernet cable directly, not use wireless dedicated backhaul?

    Multy X can connect the Modem or the Router.

    I read a lot and saw lot of videos about how to connect 2 or 3 router. They turn off the DHCP server and change the IP Adress. If I know well, the LAN Ports on the modem are the natural connections and WAN port is the internet connection and WLAN is the same as LAN on WIFI.

    I mean connect the 2 router to the Modem 2 LAN Port. And after that I connect to the 2 WAN port on the routers. Will it work?

    I'm afraid about the second router will be slow if it only connect on WLAN.

    Multy X seems not ready to support Ethernet backhaul.
    Please refer to:
    https://homeforum.zyxel.com/discussion/comment/3583#Comment_3583

    BTW, Multy X has wireless dedicated backhaul.
    Just reminder, Multy X is the "WiFi" System.

    Do you mean:

    If yes, you need to create two Multy X WiFi System, they are both as root node.
