Deco X80-5G Bridge Mode
Is there anyway we can bring bridge mode / IP Passthrough / Modem Only Mode to the Deco X80-5G ?
The features on the X80-5G Router are very limited. I.e. no VPN, VLANs, DMZ, etc. I wish to use my Ubiquiti Unifi Setup.
Currently I'm using a Netgear M5 5G Router, which is a portable mobile router, which offers far more advanced settings/configuration than the X80-5G.
I have bought two of these, combining a total of £1000, and I will have no choice but to return them should I not be able to use them as individual modems.
I don't expect a consumer mesh system to have loads of inbuilt advanced configuration settings, however it would be nice to use in Bridge Mode so I can utilise the 5G Modem only.

Hi All,
Bridge mode would allow you to use a Deco 5G router as a simple 5G modem to your own WiFi router.
For now, Deco X50-5G_v1 is the only model that has added "Bridge Mode".
However, there hasn't been further news on whether or when this feature will be introduced to other models.
Deco 5G routers are aimed at utilizing the 5G fast service and holding a seamless Mesh network. The WiFi router module is a crucial feature that ensures optimal performance. While there are cases when Deco X80-5G is set as the main Deco, certain advanced features are not available on the Deco App, or users simply wish to use Deco as a 5G modem.
If you happen to run into a similar dilemma, please vote and leave a comment below with your model number and the reasons for using bridge mode. Your participation might make a difference.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

No, unfortunately not. My feedback and subsequent requests were effectively ignored by TP-Link and I returned all the units purchased by my business.
We are now using Teltonika RUTX50 and Robustel R5020 modems :)

@wolsos the TP-Link X80-5G is great if you plan on sticking with Deco Mesh. But if your needs are like mine and you already have a well established infrastructure then perhaps not.
we are using one X80-5G and 4x XE75 Pro 6Ghz Mesh, and that works flawlessly as a wireless network with limited functionality.
hope this helps.
