How to Set up TP-Link Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System

[@lawman2112]

does the 1st deco have to remain wired to the cable modem after configuration?

[@1818nightrider]

As soon as we finish installation do we still have to keep the ethernet cable from the modem to the main deco connected? As soon as i remove it place the deco at its spot the network drops !!

[@ig2965]

yes you need to keep the connection

[@mauricecarpenter9432]

@@ig2965 smh so I need to buy another one of these???

[@SamjunK]

I have a few LAN point. can I connect 2 decos to LAN? Can I still share one wifi account with the setup?

[@Ernie831]

After following the installation setup, my range was extended all the way to my back yard but, my speed (18 down & 2 up) is still slow? Is there something that I forgot to setup?

[@MymMars]

Either that's the speed of your modem or the speed of your internet connection to your house. Call your service provider.

[@Hambone4815]

Fucking love that the instructions made me download an app only to have to come to KZbin anyway because you don't have a setup for this on the flippin app

[@Infamousstyles301beyond]

I can walk you therewith I just previously setup it up

[@blakeguidroz]

My 1st deco is working but the other 2 decos just pulse blue what do i need to do to get them to connect?

[@connie3190]

Same issues

[@blakeguidroz]

@connie3190 i got it figured out it doesn't auto connect like the video says. You have to search for the others in the app

[@t2121-k4l]

Deco connected to modem, can that be also plugged into network switch to provide wired internet access to the other devices connected to the switch?

[@nicomonkeyboy]

Plusing? Eithter?

[@mauricecarpenter9432]

I already have a modem/router, I bought one of these to just extend the connection into another bedroom... so I need to buy another one to tether? That's useless...

[@Onnidog_yt]

do i have to keap the first deco on the ethernet cable ones setup is done??????????

[@leannehargreaves3920]

I need to know this also!

[@Onnidog_yt]

@@leannehargreaves3920 yes yes you do have to keep the deco tahth you seted up on the ethernet

[@EpikSansGuy]

to hopefully answer y'all's question, probably yea, the decos communicate with each other with your internet so you probably need your first deco to be connected through ethernet for the other decos to communicate properly

[@Onnidog_yt]

@@EpikSansGuy thx bro my all decos would have been red always if you did not help thx so much bro

[@EpikSansGuy]

⁠@Onnidog_ytno problem man

[@jeonghyeonyoo7093]

is mes wifi device include dhcp fuction?

[@anandjitsingh]

The ethernet cable you provide, is it a Cat7 cable?

[@somoajoe2471731]

You dont say whether or not this is setup in Access Point or Router mode....can you clarify? If you have an existing media hub (router modem combo) then I assume just want the decos to act as an AP right?

[@Greghc48]

When you set up the Deco network, does it disable your existing WiFi network on the old router?

[@blazindaz]

It wouldn't. You are just adding another network in your house

[@Greghc48]

[@vitteriovosley1607]

@@blazindaz Can you use ethernet output from each Deco?

[@daviddekock4660]

I have the AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 system DecoX10. The first challenge was non-connection - this was solved by entering PPPOe and the applicable password from my subscriber - then all worked wonderfully. I still wish to connect LAN (wired network), however the smart TV's on the wired network show no connection. Is there something I am missing ?

[@williamsmith3331]

Ok. I have FIOS and the router has a coaxial for TV and CAT 5 for internet. Do I leave the router plugged in via COAXIAL and plug the CAT 5 into the mesh system? Or do I need to plug the mesh system into the modem in the garage with a separate CAT 5?

[@davidstepanczuk]

This was very useful. Thank you.

[@chrismendoza675]

so the first deco only need LAN cable..while the other two are not?

[@panoschar]

Exactly, as long as the rest nodes are within the limits of the WiFi range. But, if you can connect the rest nodes with ethernet cables you' re welcome too.

[@Barney_NZ]

@@panoschar so is there no way you can use the two units as mesh and connect to another base router?

[@panoschar]

@@Barney_NZ you have to connect one node to your base modem/router for internet access, but through the tp-link app you may choose the node(s) to act as a separate router or access point. The first choice is more preferable if you have a modem (i.e. cable modem), otherwise access point mode is OK.

[@khorkoko]

@@panoschar 1st deco connected to modern, the rest deco can connect with CAT6 cable each other?

[@panoschar]

@@khorkoko yes my friend you can.

[@Deathxaxa1201]

Dies cat 5 work or only cat 6?

i don't want to sound mean but the person that did the spell check on this video should be fired!!!

[@freddyramirez5133]

so go make your own video and carry on with life. The end.

[@hledew5593]

Won't that be discriminatory?? Such pettiness!

[@chillzl.a7293]

I just got one and it didn't even work that good I called customer service and they were no help at all

[@sgovea]

So what’s the point of having three nodes in the box if one has to always be connected by Ethernet to the modem? That just reduces my potential access point by one node. I already have a modem. Tethering one node to my modem makes it unusable for my needs.

[@NathanielStockwell]

huh

[@tracetomlin2065]

The point is you’re always going to have to have one plugged into Ethernet near your modem because you already had your router plugged into that spot. So since there are the other two nodes that can be placed anywhere and boost the signal. If you want more nodes or more points of access to the internet buy more of them!

[@tonyw8522]

terrible video!

[@Tribe2k]

is it OK to have both decos wired to the xfinity router instead of one of them?? the one without the cable has a crap signal
