Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.7.8 Build 20240719 Rel. 70981

Probably a stupid question....

My network of 3x Deco M5 is not quite enough to cover my whole house, due to thick walls.  I have the main M5 in AP mode, connected via a Nokia 'Beacon 6' that was supplied with the fibre modem. I guess I could connect the Deco directly to the modem, but it seems a waste to discard the Nokia router, which is new, powerful and mesh capable.  Can I get them to play nicely together and use the same SSID?

 Hi  @Lotsmorewine  ,

 

Yes, Deco system can work with Nokia router.

You can set up the same SSID for both devices, but the Nokia router cannot join the Deco Mesh.

 

If you would like to use the Mesh WIFI in your home, you can also add more Deco unit into the current Deco network.
