Connecting DECO X55 AX3000 points to an existing Google Nest WiFi network?
I have a Google Nest A2200 WiFi network (router + 3 points). I'm interested in adding more points and want to know whether I could use the DECO X55 A3000 points to extend my existing network. I want to keep my existing Google WiFi network name so I don't have to re-configure anything. Is it possible to do that and if so, how?
P.S. I ordered a 3-point X55 A3000 system just now, hoping that the answer will be ; yes! ;-)
Tx, Hans

As long as you run the three new decos in AP mode then you should be able to use the new decos with the Google nest.
You can also completely replace the Google nest with the new X55 decos. Just unhook the google nest and run the decos in router mode and make sure to use the same SSID and password you used on the google nest when you create the new network on the decos

So you will need to set up the decos first using the deco app. During the set up it will ask for a name (SSID) and password for your network, if it allows you to use the same SSID and password do so if not create a new SSID and password
Once all the decos are added you will need to go into the deco app and switch from WiFi Router Mode to Access Point
Do make this change, click on the More tab > Advanced > Operation Mode > Access Point
