Hi
I have just installed a three Deco mesh that is working well. However, on aesthetic grounds, I would like to change the primary device from one that is in my living room, where the modem/router is housed, to one in the office, where there is an ethernet switch that has a wired connection to the router and feeds two desktop PCs. Two questions, therefore:
[*]Is it possible to change the primary Deco without removing all three units and starting again from zero? I have an LG Soundbar that took a lot of effort to connect to the mesh network, and I'd rather no go through that again!
[*]Is it best to connect the new primary Deco directly to the router, and then connect the switch to an ethernet port on the Deco? Or can i just connect the Deco to one of the ethernet ports on the switch?
Thanks
