Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Latest

Hello,

 

I have the Deco M5 three pack system. I currently am setup as Main router (directly drom ONT) and two wireless nodes. 
 

I do plan on hardwiring one of them. Is it possible to disable WIFI on one and use as a wired AP instead? Thanks

Hi, the wifi function cannot be disabled on the Deco app yet, at least one wireless network should be enabled to manage the Deco network. While if you want to take one Deco and set it up as the wired AP only, you can give it a go by toggling on "hide this network from Wi-Fi lists", then it won't be found by the normal wireless devices. 

 

And you can connect your devices to it by wired cable to access internet only. 

 

Good day.
