  • QuestionWith this router help with upstairs buffering. I have a t and t with their gateway and hoping this solves my problem

    Asked by Tommy.

    • Answer Hi Tommy, There are numerous variables within a home network that can impact your router's Wi-Fi signal strength. If your router is too far from your upstairs area, or is not providing sufficient signal despite being within adequate range, a more powerful router can help. However, in some cases, relocating the router, or considering a Mesh Wi-Fi solution, such as our Deco Mesh Systems, may be worthwhile.

  • QuestionCan i use as my main router and extend to the bassemnet using a Deco X50

    Asked by Rolling.

    • Answer Hi Rolling, While both Archer and Deco systems can be used in the same network, they utilize separate feature sets and apps. The Deco X50 will not directly mesh with the Archer; however, it can be used in Access Point Mode if connected via Ethernet cable to your network. Otherwise, if you prefer to maintain a Mesh Wi-Fi experience, we recommend using a Deco Mesh model as your primary router.
