Hi All,

I really need some help before I lose my mind :(

I have a Virgin Media broadband setup using the hub 3. I also have Sky Q and several mini boxes. I was having problems with WiFi coverage, especially upstairs. Having read reviews, I purchased the Deco M4 triple pack solution.

 Thought it would be a simple plug n play scenario :(

So the bottom line is, I simply can't get it all to work together.

i've tried different combinations such as mondem only mode on the modem, access point only mode on the decos, etc

The best I've managed to achieve is having the deco's up and running, with the main sky q box connected via WiFi. However it can't find the mini boxes as it says it can't obtain an IP address.

i'm bit of a novice when it comes to networking and therefore would really appreciate some support/assistance.

just to complicate things, I thought I could use the other Ethernet port from the main deco (Ethernet backhaul) to provide a wired connection to a switch which has other devices connected, however the minute I connect this, it kills the WiFi :(

Thanks in advance Raj
