Hello,
I have recently upgraded to 1gig fibre with Virgin and as part of this I have been given a Hub 5.
I was previoulsy using the Deco M4 as a mesh system on my Hub 3.
Is there an issue if I put the Hub 5 into moden modem and run the M4 as a mesh. Speeds seem worse when I do this that when I have the Hub 5 in modem mode.
Thanks
Hi
If Hub 5 is in modem router mode, you could refer to the following link to change Deco to access point mode:
How to set up Deco to work in Access Point mode
If Hub 5 is in modem mode (like a bridge), you do not need to change the mode of Deco because the default mode of Deco is wireless router mode.
Both setups are viable options, so you might want to decide based on your speed test findings and the layout of your actual home.
Like you, I have just upgraded to Virgin 1gig fibre and received a Hub 5. Previously I had a Hub 3 in modem mode and my Deco S4s were in standard mode.
Everything worked very well.
However to get the best out of the Hub 5 I think you need to use it in router mode but turn off the wifi on the Hub 5 and switch the Decos to Access Mode,
this allows all ports on the back of the Hub 5 to be available for wired devices.
I find performance much improved in Access Mode.
