Hi,

I have a DECO S4 mesh and up until now it was used in ROUTER MODE while the router provided by the ISP was in bridge mode. The main DECO was next to the ISP ROUTER and the other 2 throughout the house.

Recently the ISP ROUTER was upgraded (to a WIFI6 one) and the new one does not have bridge mode.

I kept my mesh in ROUTER Mode and currently have my main DECO connected to the ISP ROUTER, and disabled the wifi capability on the ISP ROUTER. However, this still causes issues due to double NAT.

I want to explore the option of using DECO as AP, just need a few clarifications to make sure i got this right.

1.Does DECO still have a network/SSID or will it use the ISP ROUTER one? will roaming still work - as in, does the ISP ROUTER be part of the mesh?

2. Can I set my DECO to AP mode, keep WIFI disabled on ISP ROUTER and only use it for wired network, while DECO handles the WIFI? would all my devices be on the same network (if i have one devicewired to ISP ROUTER and another device wired to one of the DECOs)

Hope the above made sense.

Thank you
