I'm planning the get the Deco m4, but have some queries. 

 

Can I continue to use DHCP service from my existing router, and use the Deco M4 in AP mode ? Does this break the M4 mesh ?

Hi,

 

You can configure the Deco M4 as access point with useing the DHCP service from the existing router. 

 

The Deco M4 will still create a mesh wifi system. 

 

May it help and have a nice day.
