Best settings for using TPlink Deco
Having VM (Nexfibre) installed today for the first time. I currently have an rubbish copper openreach line, with Vodafone hub used as a switch/router but no wifi and then TP link deco (M4?) doing the mesh wifi that I do not want to lose. TV, xbox etc are all local and plugged into vodafone hub rather than use wifi.
Am I best to do similar with my VM hub (using it as ethernet switch/DHCP/DNS) or would I do better in modem mode, use deco as router and buy a little switch?
(I note there is a similar question here that recommended modem mode and a switch chained off the primary deco - Deco M4 Setup with M200 - Virgin Media Community - 4613652 so will do that unless anyone recommends something better as something has changed in last few years)
You can't currently use modem mode via a Nexfibre Xgs-pon connection. I think other threads suggest alternative connection forms with the hub 5x such as bridge mode.
