Model: Deco M4

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi, i have 9 decos 6 m4 and 3 e4 and when i connected all 9 to one main deco i started to have some problems like not updating or network optimization errors, so i wondered if i can hook up two main decos to the router and have the two separate mesh networks, one for each apartment.

is that possible?

Hey

Yes you can indeed, this has been asked before

You simply need to connect each main deco to the router in separate ports, however you will also need to change the IP ranges on the 2x Decos

Deco IP ranges by default goes to 192.168.68.xx change one of them to 192.168.69.xx or whatever you fancy and this should work OK for you. I would change the first one, then just plug in the second

Basically don't have both deco masters on a 192.168.68.1 addresses, you will get an IP conflict
