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 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

Thanks for you reply. The key for me is to increase my access points. Right now I have 1 router + 3 points in the Google system. I want to add the 3 DECOs to the network I currently have. So if I understand you right, as long as I use the same name I use for my Google WiFi and the same password, I can just plug in the DECOs and I can tell them on the TP app to connect to it (= the Google WiFi)?

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
