Chaining Deco's
For the last few years, I have been using 3x Deco M5 and they were working great, but now one of the units needs replacement. As this model is old, instead of getting another M5 I was thinking of replacing the setup with a newer Deco line that also has HomeCare.
X60 3 pack looked like the only real choice, but it has proven challenging to find V1 and V2 versions that support HomeCare (it seems that all local stores are only stocking V3.x with HomeShield, and it is not realistic to order online and hope to get the version I need)
Before giving up on tp link and Deco completely, I had one last idea, what if I buy a new HomeShield model, for example X80, but keep the main node on M5. It would look something like this:
---------------------------
Floor 2
X80 wirelessly connected to X80 on floor 1
---------------------------
Floor 1
Modem LAN connected to M5(main node) which is LAN connected to X80
---------------------------
Ground floor
X80 wirelessly connected to X80 on floor 1
As M5 (main) is on Homecare my understanding is that I would have HomeCare, and all I would need as I final touch is to disable wifi on M5 (no need to keep it running as I want to always connect to X80)
Would this work, and if it would how would I disable M5 wifi?
