Deco M5 Mesh WiFi set up.

I have an Eir router in bridge mode. Connected to it I have a tplink router. I connected one deco m5 unit by ethernet cable to the to the tplink and then the other decos around the house . All seems to be working well.
Do I need to turn off the wireless function of the tplink or do I just leave it as is.. Another option seems to rename the Deco Mesh exactually same as Deco Mesh . Thanks

I'd of thought that you replace the TPLink with one of the Deco units completely.

Am I loosing bandwidth by having the Eir modem in bridge connecded to the Tplink . I only have copper broadband so I want to max the bandwidth

No, there shouldn't be any change to the speed by having it in bridge mode. The M5 app on your phone has a speed test on it, you can confirm you're getting close to your advertised speed with that. I'm on the other side of a concrete wall, and I'm getting 200 Mbps wireless.
