Hi all.   I have a Wi-Fi Hub THD3000 connected to my FTTP service and some ethernet only devices.  Wi-Fi is switched off.  One of the ethernet connections is for my Deco S7 Mesh system, which provides Wi-Fi for all devices in the house.  Everything works well except the devices on the Mesh Wi-Fi cannot see the devices connected to the Vodafone router and vice-versa.   The ethernet devices are on 192.168.1.x range and the Deco Wi-Fi devices are on 192.168.68.x range.   Is there any way to get these talking to each other?   Some sort of routing maybe?

That's because you are double NATing.

If you are using the DECO's just for their Wi-Fi capabilities and not any of their router functions, try using access point mode instead. (assuming the S7 has it)

Thanks - that worked a treat.  Some features are disabled in this mode but nothing I can't live without.  👍

On the Deco unit you could set a netmask of 255.255.0.0
