Model: Deco  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I need to hardwire into my internet for my job. My router is in the living room and my office is the back of the house. Internet reaches but I have to run my ethernet cable down a hallway. I purchased the Deco Mesh and it is asking me to install via AP or replace my router with the Deco. My intentions were to replace my router then I saw AP I thought this would save me from having to re-set all my wireless stuff. Can you tell me if I setup as AP mode and hardwire my computer in the office's access point is it the same as replacing my router?

Regardless of its mode of operation (Router or AP), the Deco will broadcast its own wifi network.

If you do now want "to re-set all my wireless stuff", you can simply configure the Deco with the existing wifi SSID and password.  And disabling the wifi on the existing router.

 

The main Deco must be wired into the existing router, or into the ISP Ethernet plug.
