Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have TP link Archer MR200 router and 3 Deco M4’s. Deco’s are currently connected to router via ethernet cable and Archer is not part of the mesh network. Is it somehow possible to make the Archer part of the network, ie to operate like main Deco router, with the other Deco’s operating wirelessly?

Hello,

 

It's OK to connect the Deco mesh network to the existing router and they are compatible. When Deco works with an existing router, it is suggested to turn off the router's Wi-Fi network and use Deco's Wi-Fi network instead to minimize the wireless interference.

 

However, Deco can't build a mesh network with non-Deco devices, it can only build a mesh network with the Deco devices.

 

Hopefully, that answers your question but let us know if you need more details.
