Archer and Deco
Hi all, I am having a Deco M5 pack of 3. Can I check can I buy a Archer BE550 Pro as the main router and still use my M5 for my rooms?
I understand that Archer and M5 cannot be under the same mesh but can I still use M5 after hard wire connect to Archer in my living room? Meaning I will have Archer Be550 and a M5 in the living room.
reason to use a Archer is because I have. 5Gbps network but unable to fully utilise them.

Yes, you can still use the M5 with BE550 but I would suggest to set M5 in AP mode to avoid the double NAT in your network.

To utilize 5Gbps bandwidth from your ISP you have to use 10Gbps capable device.
Here's the list of 10Gbps capable wireless routers.

thanks for the quick response. I am new to networking, so what's NAT? I know AP is access point but not really sure how it works too.

Whats your thoughts? Should I be getting the BE550? The ISP only provide me 5Gbps, should I go for the 10Gbps set? Is there a 5Gbps set?
