Deco M5 Specific DHCP Range Question
Hello
I'm in the UK and using a Virgin Media router, which has appalling Wi-Fi coverage.
I am considering purchasing the S7 Or the M5 but have a couple of questions I am hoping somebody can help me with.
QUESTION 1:
I currently have a DHCP range is 192.168.0.30 to 192.168.0.70. Outside this range, I have a couple of Wi-Fi cameras that have fixed IP addresses, for example 192.168.0.80 and 192.168.0.81
I also have to network attached storage devices that have fixed IP such as 192.168.0.201 and 202 (set on the device itself)
if I make my virgin router just a modem and use the M5 as a DHCP server will I still be able to use the same scope as above or will I have to reconfigure everything including new addresses for the cameras and NAS devices?
QUESTION 2:
I have a Wi-Fi camera at the front of my house connected to Wi-Fi Fred and the Wi-Fi camera at the back of my house connected to Wi-Fi Joe.
Is it possible to keep the above configuration whilst at the same time having a mesh Wi-Fi network?
Otherwise I will have to pay somebody to go up the ladder to reconfigure the cameras. (Unfortunately, I'm disabled and can't do that)
QUESTION 3:
Can I also check that the Wi-Fi-enabled lightbulbs Will have connectivity to the mesh network?
Many thanks
Mike
