Do alll satellite Deco devices connect only to the main Deco device, or can they also connect to other satellites and form a chain?

 

For example, what I want to do is to have one main Deco device in the place where the modem/router of my internet provider is located. Then I want to put a second (satellite) further away to cover another room. Then I want to put a 3rd satellite device even further away, which can only connect to the previous extender (it's too far away to connect to the main device located near the modem/router). Note that it might be possible to connect 2nd and 3rd devices with an ethernet cable, although I'd prefer to use wireless.

 

Is it possible to have such an installation with Deco devices? Can 3 Deco M4 devices do the trick?

 

If at a later time I need to extend the network even further, is it possible to add a 4th extender?

 

Thanks!

For the past year I have used a kit of 3 Deco M9.

 

Anyone please correct me if there is a better way but this is how my setup is:

 

Main Deco has to be connected (via cable) to internet providers router.

Satellite Decos located in 2 other rooms (only cabled to poweroutlet). 

I did some experimenting to find best locations. 

 

If you connect the 2 Deco sattelites via ethernetcable (instead of wireless) and the Main Deco only has wireless connection to them then maybe this might cause some bugs?

 

Remember that, depending on location of satellite Decos, each satellite can connect wireless directly to the main Deco or establish a chain where one satellite connects to the previous. The apps shows a nice overview of this.

Hi, welcome to our community.

The guides below may answer your confusions exactly:

1. Can different Deco models work together?

2. How many Deco units can I add to my Deco mesh network?
3. General Questions About the Ethernet Backhaul Feature on Deco Mesh Systems

4. How to select a preferred signal source on the Deco App (Note: only some Deco models have added the feature to select a preferred signal source for the satellite deco and the client device)

5. How can I find a suitable spot for my Deco?
