I have an Archer C80 as current router.  I bought 2 Deco E4 units.  How do I setup the C80 as a mesh unit?

OneMesh and Deco mesh are different technologies and they don't work together.

What you could do is to use your C80 as a main router and configure the Deco E4 in AP mode.

Here's more info on using the Deco with your existing router.

Thanks, but then in AP mode the Deco units will have their own SSID ?  In other words it cannot be the same as the SSID of the C80?

In both cases of router mode or AP mode the Deco SSIDs can be configured to be the same as your C80 SSID.
