I want to replace my current Maxis Router with any other router that I can extend with Mesh. I can add Deco Mesh as APs but I can't use home shield and other features on the AP Mode. Is there any mesh router that can truly replace Maxis router, not just wifi, but also the DECT phone. Because of this one issue, I would prefer Unifi.

My requirements:
The Mesh setup should be capable of wired backhaul
Should support my dect phone
Should have the ability to block URLs for specific IPs/Devices

Hmm. Guess there is no other option. I am currently doing this. But the problem is the Deco Mesh doesn't allow me to use the shield and other features.

Guess I need to live with it or move back to Unifi.

While on the topic, My Deco is acting up and the second unit always show redlight even with the wired backhaul line. The line is stable but it shows red blinking every few minutes. Any Idea what the hell is wrong with this unit?

Hmm. This I need to do more research. I have no idea what it entails in me doing. I hope someone has a guide to do this.
