3 M5's - AP mode operation - do all 3 M5's need to be in AP?
Hi All,
- I setup the first of 3 Deco M5's as per the instructions (connected M5 (1) in AP mode). I was able to connect to the new SSID/Wireless network with no issues.
- I connected M5 #2 in another location via Ethernet with the intention of also using it in AP mode. The setup worked and I can connect to M5 #2 via Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
- I will repeat this for M5 #3 via Ethernet once agian.
My first question is - As long as the Main Deco is in AP mode, will all newly connected M5's act as AP's? I cannot access the new M5 #2 or #3 to change their operation mode like I did with the M5 #1. I assume that as long as the M5 #1 is in AP operation, the #2 and #3 cannot be in router mode.
My second question - I am able to configure this network as per diagram 3 found here: HERE
Is there a benefit to have the my WAN connection routed through a switch to feed individual M5's?
TL;DR - Do I need to change each Deco to AP mode? If so how do I do it?
Cheers
