TP-Link mesh system with T-mobile gateway
I have the T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway. I would like to add a wifi 6 mesh system in order to have wifi throughout my house. How should I go about installing the TP-Link Deco x20 to the T-Mobile ga...
If you will not be using the built in wifi, then it is best to disable. As for using the mesh system, the simplest method is AP (Access Point) mode where the mesh just passes all wifi devices to the gateway router to manage DHCP. However, most of your mesh system features will be disabled (QOS, guest network, DNS, etc.)
if you want the full features of the mesh, then you want to configure to DHCP mode but that will create 2 layers of NAT on your network which some devices and gaming systems seem to have problems.
I would recommend starting with DHCP to see if all your devices and services work. If it all checks out, keep in that mode. If you start having problems, then try AP mode.
