For some reason, if you want to change the Satellite Deco to work as the Main Deco but do not want to reset the whole Deco network and reconfigure it, you can refer to the following instruction to finish the setup process.
Note: Features available in Deco may vary by model and software version. All steps and images described here are only examples and may not reflect your actual Deco experience.
Before you start
Please connect your phone to the Deco’s Wi-Fi network, otherwise, you can’t see the “Set Main Deco” option.
1. Open the Deco app. Tap the Network module on the homepage.
2. Tap 
and select Set Main Deco.
3. Select the Satellite Deco which you want to use as a Main Deco, then follow app instructions to finish the setting.
Troubleshooting tips:
1. If your phone shows connected to the Deco’s Wi-Fi name but still can’t see the Set Main Deco option, please force your Deco app to close first. Then open the app and go to More > Wi-Fi Settings, double confirm your phone is connected to the Deco’s network, and then open the Deco app again to have a try.
2. If the new main Deco cannot get an Internet connection after changing the main Deco, it is possible that the MAC address of the old main Deco is recorded on your modem. Please power off the modem completely for 5 minutes and then start it up again.
