Can different Deco models work together?

Can different Deco models work together?

Why do some features disappear or become different after mixing different Deco models together?

For example, you have an existing Deco M5 network, then purchase a new Deco X90 unit and set it as the main Deco of the existing Deco network. In this case, you will find that some features (such as Antivirus, Parental Control and QoS) disappear in the Deco app, instead, there is a new function called HomeShield that includes Realtime Protection, Parental Control and QoS.

This is because that different Deco models may support different advanced features. In this case, Deco M5 supports HomeCare while Deco X90 supports HomeShield. Whether the Deco app displays HomeCare or HomeShield features, depends on which Deco model is set up as the main Deco.

You could refer to the articles below for more details about the HomeCare and HomeShield features.
