When I set up Deco S4 mesh system with my modem/router gateway do need to disable wif on the can?
My internet service is provided by T-Mobile gateway (Living in the rural area). I have decided to switch from my TP-Link range extender to Deco S4 mesh system (3 nodes). I read a lot of Q&As and setup instructions at different web sites.
I realize I have two choices. Either new network (after disabling wifi on gateway) or Access point. I can't decide what is better! Currently, 19 devices are connected to gateway and TP-Link range extender. If I disable wifi on the gateway, I need to reset every device to new Deco network. If I choose Access point method I figure it will be less likely to run into issues.
Here's the likely setup: Gateway on the second floor. I will connect one of the three Deco units to gateway with ethernet cable. The other units will be on first floor and in the basement. I will connect my laptop to basement deco unit with ethernet cable. My Roku and Amazon fire stick attached to tv in the basement will connect to Deco wirelessly.
So, what do you suggest? Deco next to T-Mobile gateway working as a new router or all 3 Deco nodes using Access point?
