Hi all

 

Looking to get 2 units of X50-POE for my apartment. I have a Cat 6 cable wired to each point in the ceiling where I intend to mount it, and there are no power sockets available, thus the POE option. 
 

I would also like to connect both units together with another cat 6 cable, and use a Ethernet backhaul setup in router mode.

 

The modem will connect to the POE switch, and 1 Ethernet cable to each unit's 1Gbps/POE port to power it, AND an additional Ethernet cable between Unit A's 2.5Gbps and Unit B 2.5Gbps port.  
 

Would this set up work? 
 

thanks!

Hi,

 

If your topology is like modem--switch---2*Deco X50-POE, then please set up the Deco as Access point mode. There is no need to add another Ethernet cable between the two Deco units.

But if the topology is modem--main Deco--switch--satellite Deco, then it should work as wireless router mode.

 

And you can refer to this FAQ to know more about the connection: General questions about Ethernet Backhaul feature on your Deco
