Mesh WiFi Expansion of F@ST 5364 Modem

Pretty fed up with the Wi-Fi coverage in my home.  Thinking of creating a MESH Wi Fi system.  I have a Sagemcom F@st 5364-3 T8 Modem which Talk Talk advise is mesh ready - although I do not believe them as I cannot find any reference to Mesh in the user guide.  So, thinking about buying a TP Link Deco system, maybe the X50..  

The question I have is:

 

1.  Is the Deco X50 compatible with the Sagemcom F@ast 5346-3 ?

2. Integration of the X50 (assuming its compatible) - Turn off Sagemcom Wi-Fi and link Deco to Sagemcom via Ethernet port (white) or Red (WAN) connection ?

3. Power up and follow the TP Link Instructions on their App ?

4. Normally the Deco X50 come in packs of three which I can position at strategic points around the home and each unit will connect to the master that is plugged into the F@ST Modem ?

 

Understand that the Extender F@ST 266 may be a solution ?

If this is a suitable solution then how do I obtain a F@ST Extender and will it provide coverage for my home 

 

Thanks

Hi nigel3009,

 

I can arrange to send you a wifi boost to test with, to see if it improves wifi coverage. Would you like me to arrange this
