Hi,
Going to install TP-Link Deco X20 AX1800 system tomorrow. I have a hub 4. Do I put it into modem mode or not?. Anything else to consider?
thanks

Personally I would put it in modem mode, you need to consider that you cannot use the hubs Ethernet ports bar the one going to the deco

Oh and another 'trick' is to set the SSID and key/password on the TP-Link to match the HUB so when you swap over all your wireless devices should just connect automatically.

That makes sense.
thanks again.

I'm considering going down the mesh route. Would you recommend the deco

Can I ask where all of my wired devices would get their ip addresses from with the HUB 4 in Modem Mode or have I missed something obvious here?

The third party router or mesh system would allocate IP addresses to all your devices.

Ah, I didn't see where you mentioned a third party router or is it, in fact, not required?
