Model: Deco E4   Deco X60  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Latest

Hi,

 

In my primary home I have three Deco X60 (v1.0 / AX3000). I have good connectivity and speed.

 

In my country cottage, three separate houses some 10-15 meters apart, I want to install Deco E4 (made a bargain find of a 3-pack).

 

Now to my questions for the best setup in the cottage without voiding the setup in my primary home:

 

Should I combine 1 X60 and 2 E4 or is it better not to combine different models and only use 3 E4?

 

Since the X60 and E4 have different features and specs, would moving mobile devices between houses work in a good and smooth way even if using different Deco models?

 

All Decos in the cottage houses will be back hauled wired (the E4 only has 10/100 but this is sufficient for my 4G connections).

 

(My primary home has some of a Deco overkill and 2 X60 is really sufficient so switching 1 X60 to 1 E4 would matter much for connectivity).

 

Thanks for your answers in advance and best regards!

Hi, welcome to the community.

I would recommend using the same model in the same location.

Would all three houses in the cottage have an independent internet source? Or are they all connected to the primary house via Ethernet cables?

If all three houses are directly connected to the primary house, the mobile device could roam smoothly from the primary home to the cottage.

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Many thanks! I will try this setup. 
 

It's only one internet source in the main building. All satellites will be wired with Ethernet. 
 

Best regards
