@Hyperfire yes, that should be fine. in AP mode, the router can be in that switch, but if you use router-mode, make sure the router is connected to the (other) ethernet port on the main deco and not...

@JPR99 you want all that, but you don't want to setup your own router (comment #3). You are not making a lot of sense tbh. Just choose AP-mode and do the rest yourself.

@JPR99 I is just giving out ip's. You can define the pool, you can fix ip's to a certain address and you can set custom nameservers. What makes the Deco a bad dhcp server?

@JPR99 use access point mode?
