Hello there 

 

Not sure it in right section,also hopefully I've wrote this so it's understandable lol 

 

I have recently left virgin media,I had the hub 4 in modem mode,then had my deco m5 connected to the virgin media hub in router mode 

 

I'm now with zen internet,they use the fritzbox 7530ax I have just found out I can't use in modem mode/or bridge mode 

 

I know i can use tbr decos in AP mode 

 

But I loose alot of functions plus the security 

 

 

Is there another hub i can use plug straight into the wall,then use the deco m5's in the same setup as the had with virgin media 

 

 

As I have the kids computers plugged into each deco and works fine with hardly any issues at all 

 

 

Also I have the zen 900 mbps

Thank you

For most fritzboxes you cannot set a bridge mode, most people mitigate this by putting their main router (Deco M5 in your case) as exposed host into the fritzbox.

In this case your Deco M5 would remain in router mode and you can use its full potential - check this thread.

  @terziyski thank you for your reply 

 

Is there not a router I can swap over with the fritzbox ie take that away and put a new router there one day I can put in modem mode/bridge mode 

 

Then I can use me deco m5 to run in router mode 

 

Many thanks
