Getting lost in Connectivity Diagram
Hello,
I am currently on one Wifi router (Sercomm C1AS) from my internet providor.
I am considering installing a mesh internet in the house, 4 bedroom.
4 wifi points should be sufficient.
My issue is to check what method is better to migrate to mesh wifi; I am considering deco M4; I have 750 mbps connection.
Is M4 sufficient? in 5 ghz it should provide my 750mbps , correct?
Connection wise, Is it recommended to keep my current service providor router (Sercomm C1AS) providing wifi, and add the decos in AP? using below diagram:
[ISP Router] ----------- [ switch LGS308 ] ---------------[ Main Deco M4]
|
|--------------[ 2nd Deco ]
|
|--------------[ 3rd Deco ]
All “ -------- “ are wired cables
Will the ISP Router along with the Deco's all provide Wifi? they share the same ssid? how to check for backhaul compatability for router and switch?
Alternatively :
I disable the wifi on my ISP router and purchase an additional M4 unit, wire them as per below in router mode.
[ISP Router] ----------- [ Main Deco M4 ] --------------- [ switch LGS308 ]
Wifi disabled |
|--------------[ 2nd Deco ]
|
|--------------[ 3rd Deco ]
|
|--------------[ 4th Deco ]
In the second alternative scenario, my network management ( parental controls, scheduling, etc...) would be done via the ISP router or Main Deco M4?
In both scenarios do I need a new router or the Linksys LGS 308 would do the job?
Thanks for your support.
