XE75 with Verizon Fios
Here's my set-up after having Verizon Fios 1g with a CR1000 router installed yesterday:
Internet > CR1000 > Main Deco (via Ethernet, all in unused basement) > 1 Deco node on Floor 1 (in Office) and 1 Deco node on Floor 2 (Bedroom), both wireless.
Deco is in AP mode. CR1000 still has wifi turned on ("Bridge" appears as an option in the Verizon network portal but no option to actually turn it off). Thus, as I write this I have two separate WiFI networks I can connect to - the Verizon and the Deco
Note that I have zero wires throughout my old house except 1 coax on Floor 1. It is located in my office - the room where I need the strongest Wifi.
Here's what I'd like to accomplish:
- Remove the main Deco from the basement and place it as a second device on Floor 1
- Use the Deco that's in my office as the main router and connect it to the CR1000 (put in bridge mode) or directly to the Verizon ONT via the coax in the office and a MoCA adapter
- Remove the CR1000 completely from my system
Will this work? If so, will I then switch the Deco to Router mode (on the app it looks like I can only choose Router or AP....not router for 1 and AP for the other 2).
I hope someone smarter then me can help here!
