Deco P9 To few ports
Hi Everyone,
I just bought a set with 3 Deco P9's. I would like to replace my current modem and use these instead, but I ran into a bit of an issue.
My current router has 2 ports for regular ethernet and 2 ethernet ports for television on a separate VLAN.
I have read I can turn on IPTV on, on the deco P9 home station to connect my TV. But since i would use the other port to connect my WAN line, don't have any ports left to connect my switch to for my wired network.
I was thinking of buying an extra set of Deco M5's since they have a WAN on top of the two ethernet ports. But i am wondering if the M5 is the main unit connected to the WAN, and I would connect a P9 using an ethernet cable would the P9 powerline backhaul function still work when connecting to the other P9 units. Or does P9 unit has to be the main unit for powerline backhaul to work?
Or is there another solution or product I am overlooking?
