Deco x75-pros with existing router
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi I have ordered a set of three XE75 Pros, but I have not set them up yet.
I need to use my existing router because I have a 10Gb fiber connection coming in which I can't bring into the Deco unit.
My plan was to set the existing router to bridge mode, then run a Ethernet cable to a 2.5GbE switch I have from the existing router, and then run Ethernet cables to each deco units 2.5Gbe port from the Switch, and then just pick one deco to be the primary deco.
Is that going to work? Or do I need to run an Ethernet cable from the router directly to the primary Deco, and then have a cable from the primary deco to the switch which feds the other two decos?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Yeah, we only have a few 6GHz capable mobile phones and phones don't really need 1+GBps download speeds anyways. So I might dedicate the 6GHz network for backhaul for now.
But otherwise it seems to be working Ok and staying stable. Solid download speeds.
Some of the room mates are having issues, but we have thick concrete walls, so that might be a matter of adding more access points, which might be an issue since neither of our Switches are compatible with the Deco Ethernet backhaul. But we'll see how it goes.
