Can I Connect an EX530v to my Deco Network?

2024-10-01 06:15:50 - last edited 2 weeks ago

Model: Deco M4

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Can I change the Deco M4s to access point mode and connect them to the router (perhaps via a switch) and use it all together?

If the router is okay and helps provide the mesh network then I may as well use that instead of bypassing it and using the M4 tower near the line into my house.

How would I go about back haul connecting a second tower to the router and using WiFi to connect another (the third would be redundant for now).

Would I have to plug the M4 into a specific slot on the router? And then I can connect the switch to another port?

Hi,

If there is already a main router in your network, you can set up Deco to AP mode to avoid double NAT issue.

The Ethernet ports on Deco are WAN LAN auto-detected. Usually it needs to connect to the LAN port of the front router, and the other port can be used to connect end devices.
