Switch 5G to DSL modem / WLAN Router

2025-06-26 11:42:10 - last edited 2025-07-29 20:32:14

Model: Deco X50-5G

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version: 1.0.1

Hi, I´m about to switch my Deco X50-5G to WLAN Router mode as DSL landline was finally installed and the temp 5G solution becomes obsolete. Before switching the mode to "WLAN-Router" and try DSL connect via cable, any considerations / recommendations to keep in mind? WLAN and network stay I AsIs assume? Did not find any documentation on this step...

Hi, I think Deco X50-5G_v2_1.0.1 would work well in wireless router mode.

You can change the operation mode under Deco APP>More>Advanced.

@David-TP thanks. Weird followUp question: does the 5G have a DSL modem built in or is the assumption in WLAN Router mode DSL modem is external?

Hi, Deco X50-5G has no built-in DSL modem.

When it works in WLAN router mode, you might need an extra DSL modem.

Best regards.
