Do you know how to change the signal source of the deco. Currently am living in 3 floor house. Deco in the 3rd floor still taking signal from the first floor (main deco) which is very weak. How do i set it to take the signal source from the second floor deco? Hope you can help
I am also looking how to uncheck the “auto” and select what deco I want it to connect to instead of main deco with a weak signal? I know it’s there but can’t for the life of me remember where I saw it
great video, you displayed more knowledge about the DECO system than many others. Your info was sot on and helped me resolve my issues. Keep up the good work..
@@PolarJUICEFalse, you do NOT need to use guest network as 2.4GHz bandwidth as it is a whole different entity. You can definitely do that by going to web interface.
I have 2 in my house. Helpful but not enough to also reach the roof terrace or the garden. Do I have to get another couple of M4 or is there another compatible product that can be added to extend the reach? Thanks
If I have something that needs to connect only to a 2.4 to work, will it understand that the Deco is combined? I'm trying to hook up a camera, and I am just getting a black screen every time (no video). I'm trying to troubleshoot it.
Can you help- my basement deco is linking to my office decor that is the main that is the farthest away 2 floors up and gives me a weak signal. I have a Deco in my dining room one floor up and it was connected to my basement deco and gave a moderate strength. They used to be aligned- office-dining room- basement this gave me the best performance. I rebooted the system hoping they would align again but it did not happen. How do I get my basement deco to sync to the dining room? Tks for any help.
Might be a bit hate for you but try unplugging your basement Deco and plug it back in which in theory should force it to search for the strongest signal which is your dining room.
Hi, great video...! it is possible create a wifi network setting ip, subnet, dns....? It have setting to assign the start IP for DHCP? Please tell me how many info you can, I need a mesh system that can be fully setting (like a router), and that can create and manage a wifi most possible. Hope in your help :-)
Great video! I just installed the deco x68. Like you said super easy to set up although I ran into a glitch I'm hoping you can help me with. I had my old HP Officejet 8600 all-in-one Printer connected but it wouldn't print. I did everything I could think of to no avail. I have not contacted HP as of yet, they are closed on weekends. I contacted tp-link and he tried a few things also unsuccessful, and now I cannot get the printer to connect to the deco at all. Any ideas on how to get this back online and printing? I need my printer and refuse to junk equipment that works when online. HELP!!
Good morning Sr. Question for you I have the Deco connected to a previous provider and now I change the internet provider by another one can you please show me how to connect with the new internet provider thank you 🙏🏽
Have a security system that needs to be 2.4ghz. If both 2.4 and 5 are toggled will it know the difference or should I set up a password protected guest network for the alarm system. Right now I only have 2.4ghz toggled in main network. Thanks, Great video
Thanks for this. My challenge is that my devices automatically connected to my Deco. WHICH... means that my neighbours have been doing that TOO! I can't seem to find a setting on the app that ensures I need to input the password to connect each device initially. I can blacklist the 'intruders' but I can't be there 24/7 to do this. Thanks if you have knowledge on this
"Currently, it's unable to change the channel on the Deco M5 as it will select the best channel automatically to have good Wi-Fi performance and it is unable to change the Wi-Fi channel or channel width on the Deco manually." Looks like we can't at this time. I appreciate the feedback, I will be sure to include stuff like this in my next review.
I have an issue with my Deco, I have recently upgarded to a gigabit internet connection and the lan cable coming from my router, when plugged directly into my laptop gives me around 850-890 Mbps, when I plug it into the Deso S7 (Main device) it only pushes out around 300-400 Mbps for a mesh system that should technically provide 866Mbps max, is there a solution for this, because its not the router, not the cable (Cat 6E), the problems originates with the Deco unit, please advise if possible, thank you.
is there a way to change the network channel ? ive been looking all over and i been trying through the page on pc but i see no option for this which is bad
OMG, why can I not find how to set the WiFi mode/protocol on the latest Decor (WiFi AX) so network is compatible with b/g/n/ac??? Been searching for hours and nothing ANYWHERE (including this video)!!!
Thanks for the video and all the info! I am facing a major problem with the channel width of my deco. It probably is at 40MHz, and I want it to be at 20MHz. Do you maybe know if and how I can change the channel width from 40MHz to 20MHz?
Hello we are having a problem. So everything is fine with main deco and router but my second deco on the living rooms every 10 mins loses wifi connection for some seconds. I have restarted and changed channels but it doesn't fix....
Check this out, as of right now the wifi schedule has not been accepted. However if you have it integrated into Alexa, you can schedule a routine to turn it off.
Will the deco systems allow you to have one of the unit in a room with no wires and use one of the ports on the back to output to a switch? I have an aging first gen google wifi that we do this with to get wireless to my daughters bedroom and then use the lan out port to a switch to give internet to her tv and blu ray
How about doing a video on how to fix the problem where Chrome freezes up after a few minutes of being left idle. I've noticed that it does it on my main desk top that I use all the time but not on the exact same desktop that I only use once a week for live streaming.... Sup with that?
Great video. Hope you can help me here. I'm currently using a wifi5 ac modem/router and I'm planning to by a deco wifi6 x series 3-pack mesh and operate it in router mode. With this plan in mind, my question is, can i add a new ssid in the deco app in addition to the main network and the guest network? What I'm trying to accomplish is: (1) To connect my auto frequency switching devices like smartphones, ipad, tablet, laptop to the main network(5Ghz and 2.4GHz). Any of my personal devices that has the capability to autoswitch frequency should be on main network to always get maximum speed. (2) Create a new ssid with 2.4GHz only separate from the main and guest network. Reason: majority of my smart devices such as plugs, lights, switches, etc are working on 2.4GHz frequency only, they were designed with maximum distance in mind and the side effect is that they'll have trouble connecting or reconnecting to an ssid if that ssid name is broadcasting both on 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time. They must be on an SSID that is only broadcasting the 2.4GHz frequency so that they won't have issues connecting or reconnecting to wifi. I would prefer my smart devices to be on the same network as main and not isolated. (3) I want to keep the guest network for guests only. I want to make the guest network isolated from my main network. So i would prefer not to put my smart devices on guest network. Guest network must be isolated so they can't see my devices. If adding a new ssid cannot be done on deco app, then my top choice would be to let the 2.4GHz smart devices utilize deco guest network as a pure 2.4GHz only and not isolated network. For the guests, is it possible to turn on deco main wifi6, deco guest wifi6 and modem/router wifi5 at the same time? Because if yes, that could solve one of my problem. Guests have no right to complain if they are getting wifi5 only.
Follow up question. If the Deco wifi6 x series is operated as ap mode to complement the wifi5 ac router's wifi. Does that mean that deco can only provide wifi5 speeds even when they can support up to wifi6 speeds just because the router is still on wifi5?
I have my main devices AND all of my smart home devices on the same SSID. I have had minimal issues and things will connect to whatever band provides the best support and signal. The Deco M5 system is a non wifi-6 unit and I have had zero issues with congestion, to the point I have disabled the main radios on my router and only use it to provide DHCP. Hope this answers your question.
Not sure how to allow my son on my Deco Ax3000 without giving them my WiFi master password. He wants to set all of his devices under one account including his computer to link better as an online gamer. I wanted to entering the passwords myself. He told me he would be able to see my WiFi password. I don’t know enough if that is true. It shows that I’m the owner. I can’t find any info that shows how to create me as the Administrator and assign him as user, without having all the privileges to my account. I need to have parental control over his devices to schedule down time. Not sure how to really explain it.
@@HelpCloud Thanks for the swift response. Thought as such, say them saying this on their forum back in 2019 and was hopeful their R&D moved slightly faster
Hi. Great video. Very informative. I want to move the main network to the tp-link EC220-G5 router from a tp-link Deco M5, then disconnect the 3 tp-link Deco M5 devices. How do I do that? Thank you.
@@HelpCloud Thanks! I have very low qualifications for this kind of work, so I have a few questions. My main network now (with the Deco as the main network point) has both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHZ, and our internet provider added a 2.4 GHz guest network for our Arlo video doorbell and cameras. Will I be able to mimic that when I set up the EC220-G5 router?
My wifi max speed able to reach 300mbps but when I connecting to my mesh its only max 100mbps. I place my mesh & router side by side.if I connect to my router it able to reach 300mbps using 5g network.how can I fixed this one
I recently just replaced my old router with one unit M9plus Deco. It works well and able to access to the internet. But when I try to do some configuration on the SSID/Password, the Deco app doesn’t show up any Deco that is connected/added in the app. Does it mean that I have to add a second Deco as AP in order for me to do configuration?
when i see what devices are connected to my network i see unknown. how do i fix that? i tried to turn off the private address but doesn't help either.that is advice from deco support website
I have a Deco S4 system, is there a way to remove the main network that I created during setup after changing the devices to WAP instead of the wireless router. I have the devices connected to my router and want them to be AP for my wireless network but the S4 is still transmitting its own network as well.
Hi, the issue I'm having is the degrading signal speed when I get farther from my main Deco, even though I'm a foot away from my second deco. Kinda looks like I'm not getting the signal from my second deco... Any advice?
I just bought the deco x55 and I have it connected to my cable modem/WiFi router . I noticed that I don’t get the speed when from the deco network. I get about half the speed. I saw in the video that you selected the option “ no modem”, does that make a difference?
Hello man can you help me? There's people who are connected on our Wifi they paid for it every month but I think they're opening their hotspot while connected or our wifi and let others connect on their hotspot so that the others don't need to pay. That's unfair so I want to detect or block them using Deco but I can't how can I disable them? Thank you
My DECO address is different from my main IP address. A device that is wirelessly connected lists an IP address of 172.17.0.?. My main ISP address is 192.168.0.?. How can I get my DECO transmitters synced with my main address?
Deco is crap, you can't change the source of the unit, if you have 3+ of them. and it connects to main with low signal, instead of the closest. . Don't ever buy it.
It nothing to do with fast roaming? Ie: a deco which is maybe 50 ft away from Main Deco (Ethernet ) still connects even with a very poor signal instead of connecting to a satellite deco sitting just a few feet away that has full bars??
