Hi, 

I have an ageing VR2800 and hardwire power extenders, but the VR2800 has now developed a fault.
As I am going to need to upgrade my modem, I would like to take the opportunity to upgrade to a mesh network. 

Living rurally and in an old house, with 16" walls, the Deco solution looks to be the best option. However, with only an old ADSL line supplying my property, I will need an ADSL modem to link to the DECO system. 
Is the best solution an AX1800v + a DECO system (like the M5 C1300) or is there a better, more seamless solution? Just concerned the WiFi networks won't be seamless, as the AX will have its own WiFi signal. 

 

I also need to mention that I don't have a PC for setting up. Only iPads. 

Thanks in anticipation.

In the this situation, I would set AX1800v in bridge mode and use only the Deco (in router mode) for wireless access.

If you can't set the AX1800v in bridge mode then just disable its wireless radio and set the Deco in AP mode.
