Model: Deco X50

Firmware Version:

Hi,

I've got 2 X50's arriving today and I want to swap out an S4 that is currently being used as a router. My final set up will be X50 as the router and main hub, with 1 X50 and 3 S4's as the satellites.

 

Is there an easy way to swap the X50 with the S4 router without having to start from scratch and re-configure the current network? eg SSID, password, PPPoE settings for my BT broadband etc etc?

 

Thanks :)

It seems pretty straightforward though :)
