Hi folks,

I am considering purchasing DECO M5 or M9 Plus.

I have a house with concrete walls and foil-backed isulation, which greatly complicates wifi singalling.

I do have ethernet in every room and ran back to a 32-p switch.

My intention would be to;

- purchase a 3-set M5 or M9 plus

- run them in AP Mode,

- with Ethernet backhaul, each M5/9 connected into the switched network.

My primary router/DHCP is a Hawuei 658c (Vodafone)

I currently have a series of different-generation TP-Link APs running as individual AP SSIDs on nonoverlapping 2.4 channels.

QUESTIONS: 

1- I understand many MESH features will be unavailable, but considering AP mode and TP-Link controller software, is there ANY impact to AP seamless handoff for roaming on the same SSID for client devices?

2- Are any DECO Controller--AP management and spectrum steering/optimization between APs lost/impacted?

Thank you!

James
