Bought it just 2 days ago, Thought could use it a range extender but it only has router mode and access point.
Dont want lan cables running around the house. hence disposing it off.

What do you mean by that? It need to be connected to the modem, then add-on units won't need LAN cables isn't it?

It needs to be connected via lan. And even the extra satellites need lan. It’s not a wireless network extender. Lan cables via the router/modem/switch to each of the satellites

First one needs to be connected via LAN cable. The consecutive Decos don't need LAN cable connection. They can connect wirelessly to the Main Deco.

That is not true, Only the primary deco (whether in access point mode or router mode) needs to be connected via cables, every other deco that connects to the primary deco can connect over WiFi.

This is exactly how I have my Decos setup at home with Wi-Fi Backhaul. I have disabled the WiFi at the router and setup the 3 Decos as AP.

As others mentioned, the add-on units doesn't need LAN. I configured it at my neighbor's place and that is why I asked.

Then probably
I’m missing something. Sorry.
The guy who came to hook it up said that router to deco. And every satellite will need lan cables.my cable net comes from
The modem to the wifi router. can I use this as a router ? If yes How do I configure this one.
Like modem - dlink - tp link.
If I want just modem - tp link. Dlink goes out of the window.
