Hello. I have a unique question and I wasn't sure how to search for an answer, so I've decided to explain my situation here and ask for help/input.
MY SITUATION:
I currently have three TP Link Deco X55 devices creating a mesh network. One of the Deco X55s is hardwired to the T-Mobile modem to create a home mesh network I will refer to as "Home_Network". One of the TP Link devices is connected to the T-mobile 5G home modem to allow internet access. The modem does create its own wireless network that I will refer to as "TM_Network". I currently do not have any smart devices inside my home connected to the TM_Network.
I own a large fifth wheel camper which is parked outside my home and within range of the Deco mesh network. I would like to add one or two additional X55 units inside the camper so when the camper is parked near my home, the camper is on the Home_Network and all the smart devices in the camper can be on the Home_Network. I do not foresee any issues adding X55 units as they are within range and will always have power.
MY QUESTION:
When my wife and I travel we take the T-Mobile 5G modem with us. Currently our smart devices in the camper connect to the internet via the TM_Network. I am curious if one of the X55 devices in the camper could be hardwired to the T-Mobile modem when we are traveling and create a mobile version of the Home_Network. Essentially a smaller and now mobile version of Home_Network. Ultimately I am curious if I set up all X55 devices to be part of the stationary Home_Network, can I connect the T-Mobile modem to any of the Home_Network X55s and the Home_Network will be connected to the internet? Or when creating a mesh network with the X55, does the modem need to be connected the same X55 device and all other X5s are add-ons? My goal is to have one large home network for the house and camper, and then when we travel simply unplug the T-Mobile modem from inside the home, move it to and plug it in inside the camper, and have the home network continue to travel with us. I am ok with the stationary home network being cutoff form the internet while we are traveling.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide answering my question!
