@David-TP Yes this or do i just not go with Deco and go to Omada...it looks nicer in the home though but it is majorly locked down.

  @David-TP So i cancelled the X50-5G and decided i will setup my network with an Omada ER 706W-4G and run this as my primary gateway with 4G failover when primary fibre fails, i can also run OpenVPN server on it as well. I will use the X50 router twin pack one will be set as a wireless access point and the second will mesh to the first access point so the Deco sytem will look after my wi fi needs within my home and i will set a secondary WiFi access point on the primary ER706 giving me in essence a guest wi fi for my workshop,

I assume the second Deco mesh unit still works when one router unit is set to access point mode and runs off ethernet backhaul?

Also I don't mind running two remote apps for my network i can use open vpn to access my router when i want or the omada cloud if i choose to operate a cloud controller (or perhaps not) and i will have to use the Deco app to my access points no big drama here ok the ER706 is not as pretty as the X50-5G but the way you guys locked it down gave me no option than to not choose the 5G option here...if only you guys had an Omada version similar to ER706 but 5G

  @David-TP  Thanks for the reply, can the second unit be cabled into my switch so both Deco units are cabled into my ER706W-4G and they will still both mesh together? I don't need to connect the second Deco X50 directly into the first unit both will connect into my network switch and be setup as AP's just hoping i can still use same ssid and both units will take care of all my wireless needs.

  @David-TP Hi David,

 

are there any news when Eco Mode / Wi-Fi schedule will be released for Deco X50-5G?

 

I want to turn off Wi-Fi during bedtime near our kids' bedrooms.

 

Kind regards

Hi David,

I'd like tu use the chance to readdress my last question.

I would be nice to hear if there are any plans in the background to bring Eco Mode / Wi-Fi schedule to Deco X50-5G since other Deco models use this feature.

Kind regards

Dennis

  @David-TP Hi David, I mostly have my setup complete but I am unable to get the 2x Units to mesh. (model X50 twin pack)

When i roam through the house my wireless devices do not change between Deco's, here is my config.

I have read people talk about powerline adapters playing havoc but i have backhauled the main deco to the VR2100 as an access point the VR2100 runs LAN via powerline adapter to a TP Link 2.5 GB switch and the other Deco is plugged into that 2.5GB switch. on occasions my wi fi reception becomes poor due to not changing between Deco units and yes I have enabled mesh for each of these devices. Only my stationary devices are not using mesh (turned off)

I have the ER706W-4G ready to implement and take over VR2100's routing duties and have the VR2100 only running another wi fi access point and bridging the VDSL across to the ER706W-4G.

Now the powerline adapter might be an issue and if it is will getting a TP Link AV2000 resolve my issue as I am using another brand currently.

Thanks.

Hi, i got x50-5G version EU 1.20 with 1.1.4 preinstalled. It doesn't show that 1.1.5 is available for update.

Can i install this 1.1.5 version on my Deco or special version for 1.20 will come later?
