Your videos are great for all the simple stuff that anybody doesn’t have to know anything about, however, you have a complicated molded rubber gasket that doesn’t make any sense? If you plug in your cables and then smash down the top and screw it on then why have you molded little channels for the cables to go Halfway through? That is what makes it so unclear.
The screen that shows up at 0:43 doesn’t shot up for me. It says I need an Ethernet cable no matter what I click, which is completely useless for what’s supposed to be an outdoor unit.
If you are adding the unit to an existing Deco system you will not need an ethernet cable, unless you are using Ethernet for power. If its the only Deco in your network though Ethernet would be required.
Not likely, Using POE you are likely connected to a network connected switch, which would usually mean you are using Ethernet Backhaul. Because the ports are 10/100/1000 that would mean the linkrate would be limited to 1Gbps. It should be near that maximum and has less interference than wireless so linkrate speeds should be consistent.
As a Client device to connect to the internet? Yes that is possible. The X50-Outdoor has 2 ethernet ports so one can be used for POE and ethernet backhaul or both can be used for clients
hi. i recently buy 1 of this deco. is it compulsory to connect the cat5 network to the deco so it can brroadcast the wifi? or it can connect to the current wifi router and use it automaticcally? thank you for the info
First thing to know is that Deco can only be wireless if there is an existing Deco in your network. Deco's do not wirelessly link with 3rd party routers. If you have a Deco as you main router or even in the network as an AP then there would be no reason to connect the x50-outdoor to the router via ethernet. But if you don't then yes ethernet is the only option.
I’m trying to extend my spectrum internet from my main home to the back where I built a smaller home. The router is about 100 ft away from the back house, my question is what all do I need to do and what equipment I need to get the job done? Need it to steam and gaming.
So Deco only works with Deco. You would need to switch the main home's router out of a Deco or at least connect it to the main unit in AP mode. Once you do this you can link an outdoor unit as a satellite unit (X50-Outdoor can be powered by POE or AC). It will extender up to a 150 feet feet in ideal situations and can then link to another Deco unit in the smaller home to provide it with internet service. Another option would be to dig a small trench between the two homes run an ethernet Cat 6 cable through a PVC pipe and bury it in the trench. This would then allow you to connect an AP in the smaller home directly to the main homes router allowing ethernet backhaul speeds and possible the best performance, especially for gaming. Deco would work in this situation too as it supports ethernet backhaul.
You can't. Deco creates a single unified network that your clients connect to. The router itself will decide the band used based on client capabilities and bandwidth needs.
I would like to mount the unit horizontally. It will be protected from rain. How about the antenna alignment? Are there any disadvantages to be expected from the horizontal(lying) orientation of the unit?
I want to extend an internal 3 node Deco X20 AX1800 network into my garden. I have a Gigabit backhaul there that connects back to the same switch as the other Decos. Will this use the same internal SSID?
How do you connect this with POE? do you need a POE switch / injector for each Deco X50 outdoor unit you put in or does the AC power adapter come with the ethernet connection to hook up the unit POE? like most of your other outdoor units do? After looking around it looks like it does not come with a POE injector. Which POE injector do you recommend? You would think this would be part of the package. I have to say I'm bit disappointed that there is not one included, who wants to use a AC power cord for a outdoor unit?
POE, like WAN or LAN, is auto-sensing on the Deco X50-Outdoor ethernet ports. All you need to do is plug in a ethernet that is supplying POE power and the Deco will identify that and power up. This can be from a Gateway or switch that is POE capable or through an injector. Recommendations are difficult as we do not have specific details of the deployment environment. I can say that I personally use the Deco X50-POE inside my home and power them with house wiring connected to a TL-SG1005P POE switch and it works beautifully. For an outdoor unit it really depends on how the ethernet is wired and if its going into the home or if your connecting to an outdoor outlet. As to why an injector is not packaged with the Deco. Typically injectors are not included with POE products where POE is only an optional power source.
How stable is this? Compared to other 5G mobile broadbands routers. I once had from my internet service provider also telecom provider a borrow router that was a huawei 5g cpe pro 2 it was alot unstable in my case. Due to me was using it for cloud gaming. Alot of times i got disonnections alot of buffer lags. Even my phone tethering was more stable than that. But since this got a mesh build into it. How stable is it?

@@TPLINKTECH i have exactly the scenario where i want the deco outdoor to be the main deco. I want to install an outdoor 5g router at the garden house and want to connect the outdoor deco as main deco to it. In our main house (located a few meters next to garden house) i want to than use further decos. Do you think that would work? Reason is that mounting the 5g outdoor directly at the house is difficult.
Can this device connect to the modem/router wirelessly? Or does it need an Ethernet connection? How much of a difference would either one make w the signal strength?
This is meant to be an extension of an existing Deco network. While in application it can be your router as well since its designed to be an outdoor model it is sold in a single pack and meant to be an add on to the deco system you already have.
Is the AC power cable also waterproof? Or is it recommended to use PoE? What is the recommended distance between the indoor node and this outdoor unit?
The cord is outdoor-grade insulated but the plug should still be protected by being connected to an outlet that is in an enclosure. For indoor units, we recommend about 25-30 feet between nodes. With the outdoor unit, you can look at 40-45 feet from the closest indoor node. That is unless you use POE Power and have the outdoor unit physically connected to one of the indoor units. Then the distance could be up to 100 meters. Though it you place it that far just know there will be a gap in coverage between the outdoor and indoor systems.
It is very hard to say. The maximum range for anything wireless will always be determined by the environment the device is deployed in. In testing, we feel that it's comfortable to say up to 150 feet outdoors with an open line of sight should be good.
It depends. If you are using the M7650 as the source of internet then its possible, But they would not be on the same network or meshed together. The Deco can only create a Mesh network with other Deco systems. If you use it with the M7650 it would be best to put the X50-Outdoor in AP mode.
Question, at what height is it recommended to put this equipment on a pole. And on the other hand, it is possible to configure the orientation of the antennas either vertically or horizontally. thanks for your answer. Saludos Desde Ecuador.
@@TPLINKTECH Any preferred location for Deco S7? I mounted on the top of the wall, but the signal quality seems to be very bad. I use ethernet backhaul for all of my 6 decos
Performance isn't based on the power input but on the backhaul. If your POE is provided through a switch and you are using an Ethernet backhaul you will have the best possible performance.
And what they mean (backhaul -how it’s connected back to the router/switch) is you will get the same performance either way - switch (POE) vs their power supply (same speeds). It’s whether you use theirs or purchase a multi port POE switch. What matters is whether you run an Ethernet cable all the way to device (wired backhaul) vs having it pickup a signal wirelessly -you won’t get the fastest speeds this way. And this is dependent on how far from the router emitting the signal. Hope this helps! If you need anything else just ask :)
Can the TP-LINK Deco X50-Outdoor also extend my current NON-tp-link wifi? As a repeater? (connect as wireless client and re-broadcast) because I can't find any info on that. I'm not talking about mesh, but just a wifi repeater mode
This is not the way the app flows for me. After choosing where you will locate it, it needs to connect to the internet but it can't pick up my wifi signal, I have to plug it in via cat5. I then have to create a network when I want to join it to my existing network to extend that, not create a new network. If I create a new network and finish the setup and then remove the cat5 I get a red light.

This is technically meant to be a satellite unit so no you don't need to hardwire to the network. It can be powered via traditional power or POE

I don't understand the translation comes up as: make a norm inet
Piece of garbage ,ours will not work unless you have a ethernet cable plugged in , so it's not really wireless.
me and my son have went thru the setup probably a dozen or more times, seems like the app is broke, don't waste your time and money
Ethernet is only required if the X50-outdoor is your only Deco unit. It is designed to be an add-on unit to an existing Deco System.
@@TPLINKTECH Good reason to not buy it.
Returned and getting something that will work with other modems.
@@thebasementgourmet3344 Deco does work with pretty much any modem or router. But like all routers or APs (excluding mobile LTE/5G routers) a physical connection to the source is required. For Deco that is generally an indoor unit. Deco can only link wirelessly to other Decos.
So you have to buy 2 Deco units, one plugged in and one wireless to the one that's plugged in?
@@thebasementgourmet3344 Most of our Indoor Decos are sold in multi-unit kits. We do sell some, like the outdoor model in 1-packs. The 1-packs are designed to be add-on units. While they of course can work independently you will be required to plug them in physically to the internet source.
