Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello, In our office we are already using DECO M5 routers but we require setting up a usb printer with the wifi router to enable wireless printing. In order to do that, we need a router USB port and print server option, which is available in Archer AX20 model. My question is, can we set up the Archer AX20 to work as part of the mesh network with the DECO M5 routers and also connect usb printer to the AX20 so that any device on the network can print wirelessly through it? Any advice regarding this would be highly appreciated, thanks

I would suggest the following steps:

 

1. Make Archer AX20 your main router (connected to ISP modem) instead of Deco;

2. Connect Main Deco to Archer AX20 with Ethernet cable;

3. Configure Deco mesh to run in Access Point mode: How to set up Deco to work in Access Point mode;

4. Connect usb printer to the AX20.

 

Any device on such network can wirelessly print to that printer.
