Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 126 build 20240723 rel 10139

I have a mesh system with several Deco M4R's connected in AP-mode to my router with a wired main-M4R, and wireless to the other M4R's. I added a Deco X50-Outdoor to the system for improving Wifi connection outside.  I have 2 questions:

1. I received a message that I have to make the X50 the main Deco to improve performance of the network. Now the deco X50 outdoor is a slave to the wired Deco M4R in the house. Do I have to wire the X50 outside to make it the main Deco. What if I leave it like it is.

2. I received a message that the X50 Outdoor needs a firmware-update.  What will happen to the M4R nodes when I install the update through my Deco app. Will the M4R's stay untouched.?

Hi, welcome to the community.

The firmware will be installed on the Deco X50-Outdoor only and Deco M4 units could stay untouched.

I think after the firmware upgrade, Deco APP would no longer recommend using Deco X50-outdoor as the main Deco and you could leave it as one of the satellite Mesh APs.

Thank you very much and best regards.
