Deco M5 with existing Archer VR400

2020-12-01 16:47:36

Model: Deco M5

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi,

I've just purchased a 3 unit Deco M5 set.

I already have an Archer VR400 as I am on VDSL.

Before I set up the M5's I assume I have to turn off WiFi on the VR400? I can then just go ahead with the install as per the Deco app?

I also want to use all the Deco features (Inc Homecare) so do I need to change anything else on the VR400?

Thanks!

Good day,

Thanks for your patience.

to avoid double NAT, you could set up the Archer VR400 as DSL bridge modem.

(please go to advanced>network>internet>internet connection type>bridge.)

And if you used to set up PPPoE connection on the VR400, now you might need to set it up on the Deco.

Thank you very much!
