Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi all, 

I'm new in here and just would like to have advices about a deco system I would like to setup.

My purpose is to :

1) extend the WiFi coverage in the house to connect a number of smart objects (home assistant platform) which are too far from my current internet/wifi router

2) ensure permanent connection for my security objects (4G whenever WiFi is down : 4G would be a backup only) 

 

I took a look into deco materials and a combo X50 4G + X50 seems fine for me. Maybe I'm wrong, but I had the impression that the X50-4G is an earlier (outdated ?) version than the current X50alone : would a combination of those allow full functionalities of latest x50 ?
 

any help or advice would be highly appreciated !!

sorry if my question seem basic ...

cheers

ph

Hello  @PhilGOfr ,

1) X50-4G and X50 do not have feature parity. As an example, X50-4G doesn't support VPN server (as opposed to X50)

2) I had plenty of bugs with my X50-4G where it was switching to mobile plan but not coming back to wired connections... I had to disable the automatic switch over. I saw that a new version of the firmware was released last week. Maybe it's now fixed...

 Hi  @JeromeDeco 

thanks for your feedback. 
I finally had a good opportunity on a second hand combo Deco X20 + X20 4G... low price so I decided to test it out. 
I shall receive it soon and will test ... let's see ...

I'll give feedback here. Hope failover will work well ;-)
