Visable in Deco App : 3 networks with each 1 AP
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hello,
I have 3 Deco M5 AP's, all of them connected via an UTP cable to my internetrouter.
After configuring the first AP (wired) I configured the other two AP's wirelessly. At that point the Deco app on the smartphone showed one wifi network with 3 AP's.
Then I moved the last two AP's to the first and second floor and connected them with an UTP cable. In the Deco App are now 3 wifi networks visable with each 1 AP.
Is there a way to get one wifi network with 3 AP's (wired) in the Deco App ?
Thank you,
Kind regards,
Marc

Re:Visable in Deco App : 3 networks with each 1 AP
Currently Deco doesn't add AP mode yet. So you cannot use them as three pure access points.
The typical topology for Deco is that, use the primary Deco as a wireless router, and add the other two Deco units to the LAN port of the primary Deco. Since the primary Deco has only 1 LAN port left (the other one works as a WAN port), we can connect a switch to extend its Ethernet ports.
Below are two typical topology for Deco M5:
Note: The firmware which adds AP mode will arrive in July. At that time, you can set up three Deco units in AP mode as you want.
