Sky Q hub and TP-Link Deco mesh wifi system
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a Sky Q hub connected via an Ethernet switch to an Ethernet network and currently TP-Link WAPs also wired back to the switch to provide whole house wifi coverage. The Sky hub wifi is disabled. I would like to replace the WAPs with a TP-Link Deco mesh wifi system. Has someone done this?

Yes, literally done this today 
Easiest way to do this is set your new Deco to Access Point mode (rather than router mode). Note Router mode is the default so you may need to setup your Deco using the wizard, name your WiFi, create password etc.. then switch them to Access Point mode.
In AP mode you will still have a Mesh system and the nodes can communicate either WiFi or Ethernet (LAN) depending on how you want it. Anything plugged into the deco nodes will use the Deco backhaul to get to the router.
This might help
