What order do I connect devices?
2020-12-28 05:14:24
Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.5.1 Build 20201022 Rel. 66804

I have a Deco M5, a Ubiquiti router, a QNAP server, an internet phone, an IP camera, a wired computer, and multiple wireless devices (laptops, a printer, and phones, primarily).

 

Right now, the connection order is:

Modem is connected to the router.

 -  Devices connected to the router: M5, IP camera, QNAP server, wired computer.

 - Devices connected wirelessly to M5: Printer, various devices.

 - The ethernet port on the M5 is connected to the VOIP phone.

 

Problem:

The wireless devices can't see the server.

The wired computer can't see the printer.

 

Is there a different way to hook this up so that everybody can see everybody?

 

Maybe Modem  to M5 to router? Or would this slow things down?

Good day,

Thank you very much for your detailed information.

The recommended suggestion is to set up the Deco as an access point mode and keep the rest the devices as they are used to be.

So that it would get rid of the double NAT and multiple DHCP IP range issue.

Thanks a lot for your understanding and support.

Ok, sounds good.

 

How do I do that?
