I buy this product & the result was amazing, the internet quality improves very much
TYSM U JUST SAVED MY SUNDAY 😁😁
Why does absolutely everything I buy need a login and an app?
so they can buy and sell you as an advertising target
Because it connects to a server and saves all the setup info/ downloads firmware/ etc. Also to get your data but it's not just nonsense its part of having IoT all devices need to login somehow to send and receive encrypted data
A real pain when you buy a new phone.
@@waynegranzin3824yea my 1st thought with this was will they use internet to do some dodgy shit or use it as hot spot for other users or hack me 😂 my previous was better connect one with wire and then put other in any socket but not as strong as this
So they can sell your browsing history and data.
What a jam!💃 of a soundtrack!
I am up and running. Thank you.
Very nice video! Thanks
Bought the Three pack last week. Excellent product.
How is the signal?
@@syarifairlangga4608 excellent
@@dubsfan261how's the performance of ethernet backhaul?
These force you to download a privacy invading app just to set them up. Avoid this dishonest malicious company.
Worth buying the system
Thanks dude, you helped my grandad
Clean video. It matches the device's and Deco app's mood: minimalistic!!! Easy to follow. Easy to setup. Breezy connection.
So from the main router how far will the signal be increased to on wifi?
Cool step by step installation guide that came with the box.
"Download the app."
Get bent
Buying this!
use them as wired access points and they are awesome for that :) Much better than the Nokia beacon 1 i had before.
How to setup Satellite Deco on the Main Deco via ethernet….?
Omg amazing video helped so much I wish I could re pay you ughhhh😭
Does it matter which connection type you choose? Where can you find the necessary information to find that out?
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
Very very nice. Product works better than I hoped it would, and the app for it is soooo beautifully easy and simple to use. I’m almost certain my grandma could use it too 😂😂
Just set up the AC1200 pack, which has M4s, which you should know to select and not AC1200 when setting up the thing, if not it will be found. Other than that works so much better than I could ever have hoped for. My router (wired) has a 200Mbps connection. Near it the wifi is around 120-150Mbps. Down here in the first floor I never got above 20Mbps in a good day, less when raining. Now? Let me check... Lol. Its crazy...the speed is actually faster than the wired connection, with 218.15 Mbps Download and 123.6 Mbps Upload (using 2 M4s upstairs and 1 downstairs). This is NUTS. Now I can finally play PS5 on the Steam Deck or buy the new PS Portal :3 Amazing product. Damn!
well worth the price tag
came for the product, stayed for the music
the thing that most instructions and videos are MISSING: at 1:16 it starts talking about using the deco as a router OR access point. but it seems the physical setup at that point is the SAME, regardless of which you choose...
i'd imagine the bulk of typical, first-world users are getting their service from a single device that is both a modem AND router. and if so, are there router functions on that device that should be disabled when using the s4 mesh system in router mode?
Id reckon if you already have a TP Link router thats compatible with the mesh system just turn it into an access point
I think he’s talking about if you have an isp modem/router in one device.
Do all three devices have utp cable ports? I basically want to have one of them be connected to the network via wi-fi but then to have a cabled connection to a device? (because that particular device requires a cabled connection)
Hi, I want to change from bedroom to living room, is it possible? Can you please help me which option I have to select in deco apps?
My masters bedroom mesh (2nd floor) is always connecting to the living room mesh (1st floor) not on the hallway mesh (2nd floor). I need to restart the masters mesh just to reconnect it with the hallway mesh. Is there any solutions about this?
Operation via LAN would be interesting!
If your deco is not working is because you do not need to restart your MODEM,
And open the app only when you linked your first deco to the modem.
Hypnotized
Question: can I set up a guest network when using deco in access point mode? Background for my question is that nowadays most user have a combo device of modem, router and wlan access point. But the wlan access point might be of outdated standard. In this case it makes no sense to use deco in router mode, because using a Lan router configuration parallel to a wlan router configuration is complicated and might interfere in some way. But maybe guest network is a must?
So is it possible or not, because almost any wlan access point on the market does not provide guest network in access point mode. To me this feature is an absolute must.
Yes the application has Guest mode where you can save different password other then main password.
Can I use this to connect to cable tv in my room from the living room?
First of all you don't have to unplug the router to plug the deco in second both modes are basically the same.
Can I directly connect NBN FTTP to S4 mesh wifi system directly and configure like other routers ? I couldnt find any WAN port for S4 mesh system.
Does the 3 devices have lan ports? Planning to connect it to my pcs or other routers. Is it possible?
I have a studio office at the bottom of my garden, about 60 feet from where the modem is in my house. Will the system work in my office?
Will this work for 4k streaming and gaming?
does it improve internet speed if have more unit/deco or it' still the same speed if you only have 2…?
Is the first deco to be connected by lan cable only to the main router or it can be wireless?
hi, how to connect the 3rd deco to the 2nd deco? My 3rd deco always connect to the 1st deco (main). I want it to connect to my 2nd one. Please help
To complete my previous post:
Also, if you go the Router mode, with the Deco app you will be able to use the full functionalities of Network controls that it provides as you will be using the equipment as a router. If you go the Access Point mode, the Network controls in the app are not available if I understood correctly from some TH-cam videos.
Access points mean they just connect wireless devices to network without any interference, so yes, that means that they won't interfere in the connection with features such as network controls. You'll have to do that on your main router.
So which mode is better?
I don't know; I use the router mode and it works perfectly; no downtime at all since installation at my girlfriedns house. @@spidey0123
Hello how do I make my device into access point?
@@jundielchan6724 I'm sorry, I can't remember, it's been some time when I set up the router. You will have to follow the instructions from the product.
do i need a tp link router or I can connect directly into any modem that comes in the house,and there would be no monthly subscription for the use of internet right?
Which one is better? The router mode or the acces point? I don't get signal in the back of my home.
I bought deco e4 one week before. I am facing lots of trouble regarding the deco e4. 1st if it becomes red if i touch it.
2nd- if i put it normal position it again become red now i am using it by upside down
Can you let me know if it's possible to use second LAN port for Wired connection to desktop PC?
Yes
Yup
Thanks all, it worked for me.👍
Can i connect them with Ethernet cable to each other to get more stronger connection
The other mesh's LED is not pulsing blue.
so the first deco mesh should be connected thru cable? can i connect the first deco without using cable so that i can place it anywhere in the house just like the other 2 deco mesh?
No it must be connected to router for the setup to work
Can I connect Satellite Deco to the Main Deco via Ethernet….?
How do i fix a disconnected deco m4 from its main? Please help. Thanks, TP-Link
Can this work with an existing router?
Hello! Just wanna ask something cause we avail Deco mesh m4 and we did exactly the instruction but the light indicator is always red steady and can't use wifi. Please help.
my question is how do i get the routers in different rooms? do i have to have an ethernet cable running through the whole house or what?
Can deco somehow work with archer x20? X20 will be at ground floor, can i connect deco on floor 1 & 2?
Is still needs to connect to the router,does not replace the old one
One is mine is setup without being connected physically connected to the router. My other one only has a white light. Do i have go through same process again with the one connected to the router?
i am getting speeds under 50 mbps using 4 deco devices any particular reason or way to boost this the devices are hardly 20 meters apart but my house has fat walls
Does the modem need to be connected to the main deco or can the main deco be any of the stations?
Question here, please. Will it be okay to use this particular kind of mesh with a 20-25mbps main broadband speed?
Absolutely
Is there an option to hide the ssid of this model?
My 2nd unit is not working at all , though I am keeping it very near to my first router
Can i use 2 pieces for one network in mother child config and 3rd one for another network as Mother and extender independently.
Can you use these wireless? My wifi modem is wired and I just want to plug these in with the power cables in the rest of the house, I don't have network cables in the rest of the house.
I'm after the same answer. I have two of these but when streaming in my lounge (5m away from remote deco, but no line of sight) the wifi cuts out, on and off constantly, once a minute. I want to know if I can use the deco I have wired into the modem (which has it's own wireless) and move it into the lounge to have line of sight to my laptop for streaming.
I read that we can't use a deco as repeater to an existing wifi network. One deco must be wired to the router.
I have tried to setup according to the steps given. But once I remove the lan cable from main router. It turn red; how can I solve this?
YOu need to keep router lan cable connected to deco
I just completed the set up and did all the instruction. On the app it says, online, but when I tried to browse, it says no internet. Please help.
Can i transfer this device to my basement after is set up to connect to a desktop with a lan?
my question is, why does the router/modem need to be turned off? its going to have 1 pluged in using an ethernet which will give the thing wifi anyways
Do i need to keep this product on a cable connection with my router? Or can i use it wireless?? I cant seem to set it up wireless
first sattelite is the main unit and it connects via cable to the router/modem. 2nd sattelite and next will connect via wifi to the first one.
do i have to buy 2 in order for it to work? can i just buy one? and what if i dont have a modem
So does this boost the current Wi-Fi router also or a make a completely different Wi-Fi network?
I have this 3 package but I want to add one more device to be total 4, is that possible?
How far will it broadcast? I have a detached garage 100’ away will it work or do i need a more powerful modern version like the six?
Please add data usage per client to the Monthly Report.
I just installed Deco M4R system in my home, easy and straight forward but......my ISP router is sharing 2 wifi connections 5G and 2.4G with another name. Can i merge everything into only 1 SSID?
Do we need a router too or can we setup this directly to modem
You don't need another router. Deco router may be connected with the modem directly.
It's need sim card and load?
please confirm , is deco m4 has parental control ?
I have this all set up, and now I have two WiFi network names, one with my router ISP and one I set wup with the Deco Mesh, which one do I connect my devices to? thanks
I also have 2 network names, the original modem name and now the deco names, how did you solve this?
either one but the Deco one will be faster in deadzones
Do you need to make wired connections? I have a Starlink satellite system which has no Ethernet connections options
Did you get any further with this? I'm in the same boat
Getting the necessary info about your ISP is BEYOND challenging...why couldn't this simply have a WPS button to clone the network like the small extenders do? The average person will not have the technical aptitude to set this up without serious help...I'm a techie and I can't get the info from my user dashboard with Optimum and their customer service is inept to put it mildly.
EXACTLY. Where the hell is my VPN?
Cant connect to modem...why..the led pulsing red solid
Chào bạn , cho mình hỏi tp link deco M4 V1 với M4 V2 có khác nhau gì không ạ ? Cảm ơn bạn nhiều .
Does anybody know if we can select a specific deck device as a source signal for another deco device ? I mean that in my house we have 4 different deco mesh E4 devices but the one receive weak signal from the first main but not from the one which is situated more close. I wish I am clear
Is it necessary to connect all the devices by cable to the router or is just one device enough?
One is enough
The other devices will be connected wirelessly to the device which is connected with a cable to the router
I need some help setting up mine. My setup is basically a three in a row design. Because our house is long and low. But does that work right? Because in every example you put out, the routers are all 3 in range of eachother... I can't do that.
Same
Same. Lots of people with same issue and no way to change it I can find. I thought this was the point in mesh WiFi?
If I connect a second unit of M4, will that only emit 2.4 GHz?
Just bought the deco x68. Works just fine and my overall speeds around weak spots are considerably faster. My only question, is there a way to seamlessly move all of my smart home devices over to the decos network or do I need to move them over one device at a time ?
Hi - Do you need a modem separately to connect Deco with it? Or One of Deco is setup as Modem and rest of 2 act as Beacons?
Do I need to order Modem also separately to enable full setup?
@@neerajaggarwal3353 one of my decos are connected to my separate router/modem via Ethernet port. The other decos do not have to be attached to the modem but at least one of them does.
If you setup the deco network to be identical in name and password to your other network then there should be no need to the devices over. Ideally, your current wireless router should have its WiFi disabled. Good luck!
Simplest way is to use the same SSID, username and password. If not you will have to re-setup just about every device again which is no fun.
Yes, it works while the ethernet cable is plugged in. I wanna know how to keep the internet working once you unplug the ethernet cable.
Does second deco also need to be connected with LAN cable?
Nope
Must the one device always be connected to the router or will both be able to be satellites?
that's what I'm wondering. because that's what is happening to me right now. It's kind of BS.
How can I use my existing SSID on this device?
I can't seem to connect other devices to the network. The password doesn't work. I've verified the password is correct but it keeps saying "invalid password." there was a firmware update that was done as well. I changed the security type as well. I can only run on guest unsecured with the devices. Help!
Start praying
Is there any reason why all my deco m4r nodes ( satellites ) refuse to connect to the next nearest node and all want to find the main only ?
i m having the same issue how can i fix it
Thank you for this video. Do I have to use a normal wifi router between the modem and Deco router? Can I directly connect the modem to the Deco router?
I think you can connect the Deco wifi router directly into your Modem to start your wifi network. I don’t personally own it yet. But my friend is about to buy one.
@@Samkipo7-6 yes, I think so too. Let me know when your friend owns one. I will be buying it in next month. Thank you.
Can i put a lan cable to connect my cctv from the other floor? I hope someone will answer. Thank you
I am having trouble, the light on my Deco is red and at no point did the app ask me for the SSID - the issue I'm having is the Deco, although paired with my phone, will not connect to the internet under testing, I am posting this message from my laptop which is connected to the same internet (is that causing the problem?)
so u need a router and a modem too ???
Question I setup our deco and turned on guest network but then I turned it off again and it kicked my mom and our desktop pc off the network. Her wifi on phone wouldn't pick up the deco network at all... I couldn't understand why.... I eventually thought to turn guest network on again and it wfor some reason worked and connected her phone...i can't see anywhere on the app that I chose her devices to be on the guest work... The desktop pc also alerted me that it is using the same ip address as another device on the network.... Now is that because I made guest network and main network passwords the same??? We have also been getting a weird voip call from 1001 since I installed the deco
mine looses connection often, also my 200mps is like 30-40mps, tried all trouble shooting
Did you fix this?
Mine too... Did you fixed it?
@@neilbertcanonigo7204 I disabled the main router and used 1 of the boosters as a main with the same network name.
@@danit1692 how?
@@vankhenieddihernandez889 Can you log in on your router?
After the mesh is successfully setup, can you remove the cable connecting to the main router?
yes
No you can’t
nope
Does the first one have be connected via ethernet the whole time?
How on earth do you get the 2nd and 3rd device set up? One Ethernet cable, you unplug it and that device stops working
One of the devices has only red color, is it disabled?
