Model: Deco X20-DSL  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Hi

 

I mistakenly bought an AX-1500 Router that I thought had ADSL/VDSL capabiliies.

 

I already shelled out for it and the shop won't return it. I thought about changing the stock adsl modem my isp provides by buying a TP Link VDSL/ADSL Modem so I can create a sort of Mesh network. 

 

Having said that, I read that Deco Mesh and One Mesh devices don't work together. 

 

But given my router is AX and I don't see any OneMesh modems that are AX (WIFI 6 speeds). I am wondering if I can use the Deco X20-DSL and just use my AX-1500 as a wireless access point to expand the wifi (instead of using a repeater/extender). No I'm not looking to purchase more Deco devices to create a deco mesh network. I'm just wondering given that set up, will it work? 

 

Deco x20 DSL as main modem 

AX-1500 Router placed in another area of the house to expand wifi range.

 

Worst case scenario, I think i'll be stuck with the TP LINK VR2100 (AC) and my AX 1500 router but without taking advantage of the full capacity of the AX.

 

right?

Deco X20-DSL and AX1500 in AP mode will work together.

But using Deco X20-DSL as a standalone device doesn't make much sense - you won't benefit from Deco mesh.

How about putting your ISP provided DSL modem in bridge mode and use the AX1500 as your main router - here is the configuration guide.
