Connecting Deco Mesh Systems
A basic question: does the first Deco connect to my ISP's router, or does it replace the routert? If it connects to the router, will devices connected to the mesh network be on a different network from devices plugged into the router's ethernet ports?

@cdsatp Main Deco connect with ISP's router by ethernet cable to get the internet connection from the ISP router and turn off the WiFi of your ISP router to access internet from Deco X20
Thank you. But will a computer plugged into the ethernet socket on the ISP router be on the same network as the devices on the Deco mesh network - ie will a device on the mesh network be able to see and share files with the compjuter on the ISP router?
It can be under the same network if you set Deco X20 into "Access Point" mode:
