Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.7.8

Hi, Hopefully someone can help me with an issue I've had for ages! 

I have a Deco M5 system setup. The main unit is hardwired into my internet router and I have various devices connected to the mesh WiFi or wired directly to the Deco units, inlcuding a diskstation and several printers. I have a main home pc and a work laptop also hardwired to the internet router but I can't seem to access the diskstation or printers from them.

Should I be able to do this, if so how?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

I think you might need to set Deco M5 into Access Point mode:
