Would anyone know if there are any issues with connectivity using a GigaSpire BLAST u4/u4m router & Deco M5 mesh system?  We are thinking of switching to LIT broadband which uses these routers. Any help or advice would be great.

Hi, they should work well and you might need to connect the first main Deco M5 via an Ethernet cable to one of the GigE LAN ports​ on GigaSpire BLAST u4/u4m.

I see GigaSpire BLAST u4/u4m is the wireless router as well and it would be better to set Deco into Access Point mode.

How to set up Deco to work in Access Point mode

Thank you very much and best regards.

I have a silimilar situation, but an older M3W Deco Mesh Whole House system.  Our internet provider just upgraded us to a Gigaspire Blast u6.1 router, and our speed has been terrible when the Deco system is hardwired to the new router.  Going to try setting up Deco as an Access Point.  But concerned they may not be compatible.
