Model: Deco BE65  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

Good day to everyone.

 

I have a house of 100 sqm, and in the center I have a BE65 that act as AP. I have 2 desktop pcs at 3m and 5m distance that I would like to connect and fully utilize the 2.5Gb Internet. I can't deploy any ethernet cable in the house.

I have 2 other BE65 and I would like to use them as pure wifi clients, having the 2 satellite that connects to the main BE65 exploiting the MLO (without repeating the wifi again) and the desktop to connect to the BE65 via lan.

 

Can it be done and how in case? When I add the 2 satellite via the deco app, I get them to be part of the mesh, hence they repeat the wifi, and I don't see a point, since the roaming will never happen basically, the main BE65 and the other 2 satellites are too close.

 

Regards,

Matteo

Hi, welcome to the community.

Deco doesn't allow disabling WiFi broadcasting, so the satellite units will always repeat the WiFi network.

Have you ever considered adding a pair of wired powerline adapters, such as PG2400P KIT

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
