Identifying Deco M4 Model
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I recently purchased 3 deco M4 units off of an online marketplace, but I'm struggling to identify which versions they actually are. When I asked they said they don't know, but they all work the same...
One is V1 with 12V and 1.2A
Two are V2 with 12V and 1.5A
I can provide more information from the bottom of the Decos' if needed.
Also, I'm looking to connect one to my Sky router, and have one in the room furthest from the router. Which should I place where.
Many thanks in advance!
If you are asking which firmware versions these Deco units come with, you can find that in Deco app after adding them to your Deco mesh. Open Deco app, go to More/System/Update Deco. Current firmware versions will be listed there. Example:
It does not matter much which one of M4 you will make Main Deco, if they come with hardware versions V1 and V2. If one of them has hardware version V4, that one should be Main Deco - it might offer more features as Main Deco.
From power consumption you shared it appears V2 draws more power, which means it either has slightly more powerful CPU or slightly stronger WiFi, or both. That difference would not matter very much for home network, but probably makes sense to make V2 your Main Deco (connected to Sky router).
