Hi everyone, 

 

A bit of a noob here. I live in a bit of a larger home that happens to be pre-wired. I have an xe75 as the main unit in the basement where all my wiring is and 4 additional xe75s through the house all wired backhaul.  My brother is taking all but 1 xe75 from me for his house so I purchased 4 xe200s at a great deal on Amazon to replace.

 

My question is, can I keep the xe75 as the main in the basement and use the xe200s throughout the house without any performance issue? I wasn't sure if this setup would create a performance issue because the xe75 is inferior to the xe200, but maybe that doesn't matter because of the wired setup.

 

I have 1 gb connection with Verizon. 

 

Thanks so much everyone.

I do not expect you will encounter performance issues.

I suggest locating the xe75 where you do require superior wifi performance.

It is quite easy to swap a main and a satellite Deco.

 

EDIT:

I meant "I suggest locating the xe75 where you do NOT require superior wifi performance."

Hi thanks but 1 question regarding your suggestion. The xe200 should have significantly better wifi performance right? But you were suggesting putting the xe75 where I needed better performance. Can you help to explain for me? I was intending to keep the xe75 in the basement as the main unit

  @JCSTU Sorry, my mistake, I meant "I suggest locating the xe75 where you do NOT require superior wifi performance."
