Will the M5 system work if all 3 Decos are connected directly to the modem with ethernet?
Hello,
I have a question regarding the Deco whole house wifi system M5.
I want to install in a new 3-floor home where the main router from my ISP will be installed in the basement.
I had ethernet wires installed through the walls to two connection points in the ceilings (one in the ground floor ceiling and one in the first floor ceiling) when the house was build and therefore I will have direct ethernet connection to those 2 points with my main router.
So my main question is this:
If I set up the M5 deco system normally (all 3 decos in the basement close together) and after the setup I move the other 2 decos, one in the ground floor ceiling and one in the first floor ceiling, and connect them to the main router, each one individually with ethernet, will it work? The point is to get maximum speed from each deco. Note that the first (MAIN deco) will be connected to my main router as well and not directly to my ISP plug. I think this method is called access point??
To summarize: I’d like to set up all 3 decos of the M5 normally using app and then move the 2 decos to other parts of the house but every single deco will be connected to the main router (not main deco) with ethernet. Final wiring after setting up normally will be:
ROUTER >>>ethernet>>> MAIN DECO
ROUTER >>>ethernet>>> DECO 1
ROUTER >>>ethernet>>> DECO 2
Will this work?
Thank you
(P.S: Couldn't find AC1300/M5 as a model from the drop down list)

@BlindGuardian router more should be fine, as it is the dhcp server. Not you can't use another device as DHCP server in this setup.
