Model: Deco P7  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 11.4.11

Hello Community,

 

I have three devices of Deco P7 to cover three floors of my home, and I facing issue with signal so it looks like it is the time to add a newer WiFi 6 or 7 device, I know if the new device is set as main deco so I would lose the powerline backhaul, but I hope the new device will have better coverage anyway.

 

How can I find list of devices compatible with my existing setup ? 

 

I assume a WiFii 6 or 7 devices would use old generation Wifi to communicate with my old setup but will be able also to broadcasta the new one WiFi generation, right ?

@David-TP 

 

I'm not sure which other models support powerline backhaul. Is there a list somewhere I can get access to so I know which models and HW version support which options?
