Hi,

Internet modem --- ethernet --- Deco Main --- wireless --- Deco 2 --- wireless --- Deco 3; Whether the Deco main can see the Deco 3 directly depends on the distance/wifi coverage area, with Deco 3 covered by Deco Main, even though Deco 2 drops signal, Deco 3 will reconnect to the Deco main to get internet; In other word, if Deco 3 can get wifi signal from both 2 Decos, it will choose the best one automatically to connect. 

FYI, the Deco main can connect to the modem by wired cable only now. That is to say, the Deco Main cannot connect to the modem by wireless. And Deco supports router mode and Access point mode. 

You can connect Deco 2 --wifi -- Deco Main --wifi--Deco 3

                                                           \

                                                            internet/modem 

Good day.

Hi,

 

I've got a 3 router Deco M5 installation at my home.

 

Currently it is like this:

Internet modem --- ethernet --- Deco Main --- wireless --- Deco 2 --- wireless --- Deco 3

So, this really means that Deco Main sees Deco 2, but does not see Deco 3 directly (only by going through Deco 2 can the signal reach there).

 

However I'd like to make the following change that I expect would give me better coverage all around (given the specifics of my house):

Internet modem --- wireless --- DecoMain --- wireless --- Deco 2

                                                                    \--- wireless --- Deco 3

In this scenario both Deco 2 and 3 would be visible from Deco Main (but not visible to each other).

 

So the maximum number of wireless hops would continue to be 2 (the same), and the internet modem does have Wifi AC with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz simultaneous broadcasting.

 

So in principle this should work, but...

 

Is it possible to configure the Deco Main to connect to a wireless network?

If no, why not? (this should be fairly simple)

If yes, then how? (I could not find this anywhere)

 

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

We are not sure whether the Deco can support repeater mode in the future, while like you said, you can keep an eye on official website to get some updates. 

Good day.
