Hi, if you already have Deco before and plan to add more, the following link will provide some help:

Can different Deco models work together?

While if you haven't used Deco before and want to wirelessly extend the home router Wi-Fi, a range extender will be better:

I have tried range extenders but they don't work.

Hi, if you are on AP mode, it will not mess with your exiting configurations, have no double NAT issue.

What’s the difference between Access Point mode and Router mode on the Deco?

PS: if you choose Deco, the main unit needs to be connected via Ethernet to your main router all the time.
