Switching Deco x20 to WiFi Router Mode
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a new modem/router from my ISP in the UK. Its a Technicolor DGS0122.
It works fine and my Deco is in AP mode as it was with my previous ISP, SKY. Bcause their routers cant be switched into Bridge mode. Now, to be fair, everything works fine in AP mode and I get good speeds and coverage on WiFi through my 3 x Decos. But it would be nice to at least try them in WiFi Router mode with the Technicolor router in Bridge mode. I'm having some issues switching the Tech to bridge as it just hangs when I try so I havent been able to test it at all.
However can someone please advise on the correct process to do this for the Decos. My thoughts onwhat should be straightforward is this
1. Unplug ethernet from main Deco
2. Switch Technicolor to Bridge mode
3. Plug main deco back in and assuming I still have Deco WiFi change to WiFi Router and enable Smart DHCP
The Technicolor in bridge mode should have directed internet to the LAN ports and the main Deco will then pick this up ? Question is does the Deco maintain its own internal WiFi so I can log in through the app and make the change ? And does what I say above make sense ?
