Hi there, to start with I should point I’m not overly technical when it comes to this sort of thing.

I bought the deco M5 system (3 decos) last August and much to my wife’s annoyance I haven’t got around to setting it up for various reasons, one being I’m not sure on the best approach given the set up I have in my house.

I have a comms room downstairs which is a converted cloakroom and in there is the sky broadband router which connects to hive hub, VELUX windows and burglar alarm. In addition it connects to a switch which itself is connected to to an ethernet port in each main room of the house, allowing me to hardwire any devices as necessary eg Smart TV.

At present, in the extremities of the house furtherest away from the router, the Wi-Fi signal can be weak. My questions is simple, what is the best approach with the mesh system given I have the option to plug a deco directly into a socket in any room with the weak Wi-Fi signal (which would then be connected to the router via the switch), and I assume this could boost the existing signal? From reading a lot about deco on the website (and understanding very little) it seems that the Access Point mode may be most suitable and I’m happy with that’s knowing that it does not then offer me the parental controls etc.

Any help or even a diagram of how I could get things set up would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks

Chris
