Deco M5 Set Up Question
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I'm a little confused about the set up of my Deco M5 in AP mode and am hoping someone can help me out. I have an Archer A7 router on one side of my house which handles most of our network traffic. We have an SSID set up on the A7, let's call it "Home_Network" in this example. I have been having poor WiFi connectivity in the opposite corner of our house where my office is located so I purchased a Deco M5. I ran cat6 direct from the Archer A7 to the M5 and have set the Deco M5 to AP mode.
I currently have the Deco M5 SSID set up as "Home_Network_Ext" since it prompted me to create an SSID, but I'm wondering if I can just set this to the same "Home_Network" SSID that the A7 is set up for to avoid having to switch back and forth between different networks on devices like my phone which I'd use throughout the house. If I set the Deco M5 SSID up to the same "Home_Network" SSID name as the A7, will devices just automatically switch back and forth between the M5 & A7 based on whichever device provides the best coverage?
