Looking for mesh system suggestions (current router VX420-G2V )

[vqa16041998]

I'm on FTTB plan but can't get a good wi-fi signal in my bedroom in a fullbrick apartment. Thinking of getting the mesh system like one of the Decos but not sure which one. Current router is VX420-G2V and was supplied by TPG. I heard you could put it in bridge mode and then connect to the mesh routers instead of plugging in the mesh router directly into the phone socket but not sure. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Hi @vqa16041998 . You might just need an extender to work with VX420. It is placed between router and bedroom.

You can put the VX420 into bridge mode and connect another router to a VX420 LAN port.

Following are instructions to put Archer VR1600 in bridge mode but they might be relevant to the VX420.

To put Archer in bridge mode, basically delete the DSL connection with vlan id 2 and add new connection.  Check whether you use VLAN 2 or not.
