Open Security Type when using AP mode
I just purchased AX3000 with 3 X55. I installed the main device in router mode and named the SSID and gave it a password.
I tested the other two X55 devices and they worked great in router mode. Keep in mind that the original ATT router is still functioning well without any changes (passthrough). It has a separate SSID and password.
I switched to AP mode to test the devices because I will be looking to install the X55 devices in separate rooms/buildings about 30 ft apart from each other and am considering running the ISP router (in the main house) and the DECO router (other rooms/buildings) simultainiously. This does not appear to be a recommended operation of the DECO mesh.
Questions
1) In AP mode the additional X55 devices show "security type" Open. This is problematic. Does each device need to have secuity type setup individualy when in AP mode? Is the solution to "Hide" the device?
2) If I have the ISP router set to passthrough, and the DECO main in router mode, will the LAN ethernet cable connection for the TV, desktop computer and any other LAN device near the ISP router and the DECO work best if pluged into the ISP router LAN or the DECO main?
3) Is it OK to operate the DECO router in parallel with the ISP router at the same time? Is the interference issue due to the proximity of the routers or some other reason if they are functioning with different SSIDs?
Please point me to a product document that discusses these considerations.
Thanks,
Mike
