I’m hoping for some advice.

 

I have three Deco units in a fairly old house with thick walls. I’m on Sky Gigafast FTTP.

My main Deco is connected directly to the Sky Hub 4.2 (Wi-Fi disabled). From there, the other two Decos connect wirelessly — one upstairs and one downstairs in the conservatory. All set to access point 

 

From the router, I run a network switch that connects:

 

  • Sky Q box
  • Xbox
  • TV

 

 

I also have an Ethernet cable running from the router to the conservatory, where it connects via a switch to:

 

  • Sky Q Mini
  • Second Xbox
  • TV

 

 

At the moment, the Deco in the conservatory has a weak signal, so I’m considering wiring it via Ethernet.

 

My question is about the best connection order:

 

  • Should it be Router → Switch → Deco, or
  • Router → Deco → Switch?

 

 

What’s the recommended setup for best performance and stability?

Hi, welcome to the community.

When Deco is in Access Point mode, both connection orders work.

  • Router → Switch → Deco
  • Router → Deco → Switch

Based on your current situation, the first one is more recommended:

Best regards.
