Model: Deco X20  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I already have the two pack of DECO X20, but I am now trying to replace my ISP router.

 

Which TP-LINK router would work well with the DECO X20?

 

I use my deco nodes connected via cable from wall ports.

 

I wanted my router to be a node in the same mesh network as my other 2 Deco units, for a total of 3 nodes (1 router/node + 2 deco nodes).

 

Is there a router that can do that? I havent been able to find a solution online.

I use my TP-Link XE75 Pro for that. Since last Sunday. If you have the option on the X20 to assign the right VLAN and PPPOE or any other that your ISP say you need to use. Than you can use one of your X20.

Hi  @JayVila 

As Nicj56 said, the Deco X20 can work as the main router. If you need one more node, you can buy a new Deco X20 unit.

 

Here is about how to set up Deco network.
