Model: Deco BE65  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.1.0

Long time Deco user, starting with XE5300.  I used my 5300's in AP mode because they didn't initially support VPN server - I just kept my old Netgear router.  Now I have upgraded my system to BE65 and I'm ready to ditch the old router and switch Decos to Router mode.  I tested the OpenVPN today and it does what I want.  I have about 70 devices on my WiFi and do not want to lose all the Device Names I have put in over time.  When I switch to Router mode, will I lose them?

 

Second question.  I also use a USB drive on my Netgear router for music files served to my Sonos system.  I tested USB on the BE63 today and I could only get it to work on main Deco, not on the satellite Decos (all satellites are using wired backhaul).  Is this the expected behavior - USB only works on the main Deco?
