  Can I use this to extend my existing M3 Deco? Thanks

    You can but it's not recommended. It's recommended to use the M5 for the main router and M3 for extra satellites.

    Deco M5 = 512MB of RAM.
    Deco M3 (M4R) = 128MB of RAM.

  Silly question with these can I also continue to use my modem/router from my ISP for wireless? Or am I now just using these 2 and my router is now just a modem?

  I currently run my main router downstairs with an old one upstairs set up as an access point but I find the reception average and more annoyingly none of my devices auto switch to the better network despite the same SSID.

    You should just need your modem/router and the mesh system, the old router upstairs wouldn't be needed anymore.

    Nah the ISP modem/router wireless gets turned off or in some cases removed entirely from the setup. Who are you with? Do you use VoIP or mobile only to make phone calls?

    FTTN, FTTB, FTTC, FTTP or HFC?

          @Twix: Ok awesome. And then to connect the second one (via Ethernet backhaul) it would plug in to the first Deco? Or the router.

                  @Twix: Hmm my Xbox connects via wired Ethernet into the modem. That means I would have to switch all my devices to wired?
