In the first few minutes of this video we were asked to connect the main unit to the router..but in the app and in the guide, it ask us to connect the main unit directly to the modem..Which is correct?..are both ways correct?
Hi TP Link team, i just install the Deco M4 like ths video for double terrace hse.. so may i know main deco at living hall i put 1 n other 1 1st floor hallway, so if im stay at room 1st floor, is it internet connected direct from 1st floor or from g floor? Pls advise...
I do not believe the improvement this brought to a home WiFi. Bedroom was hovering around 8-10 Mbits, with frequent disconnections (being at the end of an apartment). I've placed main Deco in the living room, second one in kid's room (in the middle of the apartment), and the third one in the bedroom. Bedroom speed is 70+ Mbits! I am amazed! Excellent product!
For those who may still having problem after following the video. Here is my experience. 1) Use the PDF guide it is clearer. Unlike this video at 1:14 , it is saying "We already done the wiring in the previous steps" (Which is NOT specific & confusing), The PDF wrote "IGNORE this step", which is much clearer. 2) Secondly, you MUST use the black router provided by UNFI. Turn your router around, the router model MUST BE AC1200. Don't be like me, I was using a third-party router that is not provided by UNFI. Since the guide DID NOT say we can't use third-party router, GG. I wasted HOURS figuring the problems. Good luck there guys. Hope this helps.
Thank you for this comment. Now at least i know I am not stupid.... The idea of having one router plugged in to another the whole time next to each other was so riddiculous to me that I thought I am doing something wrong the whole time.. i thought with two M4s I will be able to cover the whole house, but now its clear it wont be the case without buying next devices. I am not going to spend a cent more for this shit...
hieee. i am using the old unifi modem Alcatel-Lucent-I240G and i already connected the LAN cable from the modem to my deco e4 but i still can't seem to get any wifi. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP T_T
Thank you very much! Works great! My problem was that at the end I could'n connect to internet, but now it's solved. I was connecting my media converter and then ethernet cable inserted in deco, but in the end was not working. Your video solved the problem! From media converter to the existing gigabit router, then ethernet cable from router to deco. Than fallow app on phone and solved! Thank you again!

Adakah setup sama macam dalam video ni? Sebelum ni berapa pakai? Modem & router ke? Or modem saja? Sbb saya kat rumah pakai modem & router tm provide tp kalau saya pakai ni adakah router lama tak pakai lagi?
I think it is better for TM/TPlink to put a guideline/link to this video in the box. The TPlink app asked us to turn off the existing router and connect the LAN cable directly from modem into the main Deco. It is contradict & confusing.
Apparently for unifi users, when setting up the main unit, we need to connect directly to router, not modem. Not as the instruction in the app/manual. Which brings me to my question, do i need to ensure my first unit is continously connected to my router, then setup the second (and subsequent) unit(s) wirelessly?
This video is wrong. TP Link themselves say the mesh is connected to the modem, not router. Because Deco M4 is itself a router. The Unifi router is no longer used after this.
Why do I have to create another Wi-Fi name as well as password? I just want to make it boost the one I already have down the other end of the house. It has power and an ethernet cable
The video will be better if you showed the option of connecting directly to modem. But then again, the option of Modem-Router-Deco also works. It’s just that we will need more plug points
I also wonder the same..as for now, i use Modem>Router>Deco..but my wifi has two connections now, the old one (from router) n the new one (from deco)..if possible, i dont want to use the router anymore as the deco is enough already..so u still using ur router?
I am currently not using my router. I connect my modem directly to deco. So I only have 1 Wi-Fi connection instead of 2. I can switch between 2.4 and 5 using the app. But connecting it to modem directly requires me to connect to PPPOE and therefore I need to get a PPPOE password from Unifi, my local internet provider. The downside of using this method is I can’t use deco as access point though.
Do I have to keep the deco connected to the router lan:? So I can't ever place the other decos everywhere in the house because it must always be connected to the router and lan
Great guide and easy to understand. I saw another video which used parts of this video but also added to change the original IP provided wireless router to Bridge Mode. This video, which I am assuming is TP Link Official, does not say to change the router to bridge mode. Is this needed or can I skip that step.
THESE UNITS DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO SELECT YOUR 5G OR 2.4 GIG CHANNEL. DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT TO BE FORCED TO USE CHANNEL 44 on 5 GH. THEY CONFLICT with Australia's Telstra Gen 2 WiFi on channel 44. I have buyer's remorse!
this is a guide to set your m4 as a wifi ap, should work with any isp as long as you have a router that connects to the modem in the middle, or if you want to create a different mesh network, then also still need to connect to switch/router, important thing to do is to turn off the router's wifi, which they didn't mention at all here not a guide on how to setup unifi to work on m4

Good Content! What if you connnect this to a fast TP-Link AC Router? Will that Router be part of the mesh assuming that you use the same AP name? Or will the Router act as a wifi range extender (different MAC id) and not part of the Mesh? TIA! 😊
Setting up is not very difficult. But in many of these type of new router have a function that's missing which is important. eg: mac filtering it has black list function but without white list function Black list function is ONLY good if you know the device mac number. It will be good if Mac filtering is available.
I use unifi lite - modem ZTE ZXHN H267A. Took me hours to set up because I chose the connection type as PPPoE (and it was confirmed by unifi people when I contacted them through live chat). After numerous reset, I chose Dynamic IP and voila; it’s connected. The speed isn’t that good though. Before mesh - 3.03Mbps. After mesh - 4.21Mbps. Lol where did I go wrong?

How do I use the deco without having it plugged with an Ethernet-cable with my router/modem all the time. Now I can’t place the first one somewhere in my livingroom

Thanks for the video.. I managed to connect deco m4 with existing unify router. However the old network before I used deco is still active and I can connect to that old network. I thought once a new network being created with deco the old network would be deactivated but it is not. How to make the old network deactivated ?
Go to your old router’s ip, and then switch off the wifi there. Thats what i did so it wont bother my mesh wifi signal
Kena buat manually bro,gi setting router turn off wifi both 2.4-5ghz..sebab deco m4 dah support both 2.4-5ghz...then baru lah connect ke TP-Link Deco M4
Izwandy wan kat mana nak buat setting manual?
NAZRIN OTHMAN tengok bawah router yg tm bagi tu,cth “205.168.1.1” kat browser.isi username dan password..dkt dlm tu blh disable wifi router lama
Seriously igtkn extend original wifi je..tp kena setup network lain pulak 🤦♂️
Just wondering, why is the setup shown in the app is so different from what is shown here, for example, the app ask u to connect to MODEM, while this setup video is clearly show to connect to your ROUTER.?!!
amir haizad exactly bro. I tried mine connect to modem unsuccessful everytime & the lights turn red
@@nickyan2880 mee tooo, kinda frustrating tbh
Hello Guys, if you wish to direct to modem, you will need to call TM to obtain the PPPOE username and password for setup. This is why we recommend our customer connect to the existing router instead.
TP-Link Malaysia TM kata tambah RM15 sebulan utk service Mesh Wifi ni diorg yg install!
Mia Damai tidak. Kita kena install sendiri ketika saya register haritu. Jadi buat sendiri akhirnya.
Plz help. Im conected using Tm Unifi.
From modem to router, from router to mesh wifi....but i get better internet instead of using tp link mesh wifi. Why?
Hi,i just bought this product, i have a problem which is i successfully added main deco, but when i try to add 2nd deco, the whole process is exactly same as your video, but after i click “i done for now” the 2nd deco straight away disconnected and cant connect ,and just blink red
Can i use 2 pieces for one network in mother child config and 3rd one for another network as Mother and extender independently.
Lampu indicator dekat atas jer..siapalaa bijak sgt design..last2 kene baringkan br nmpk lampu nyala kaler apa..
How do I use the deco without having it plugged with an Ethernet-cable with my router/modem all the time. Now I can’t place the first one somewhere in my livingroom
Exactly my question
You cant. The one must be the main unit that connected to router all the time. Only the rest are connected wirelessly
One unit is connected to the modem, the rest can be placed in other areas. If you need more you'll have to just buy more Decos.
Hello can I ask if these will help with my speed and latency,my Blink cctv cameras struggle with my setup you see. Thank you 👍
it is ok to unplug the main deco?? and place to another area? without ethernet cord???
For the first deco can put place it anywhere after I connect it with my router? For example after I connect it I place it inside my bedroom without the router
The main Deco must be connected to the Internet source with an Ethernet LAN cable
Does all units have to be connected to the same power source? What if I want to connect the main unit in a house and the others in a different house within range?
How do i set my time/clock on Deco.. I use parental control to block 10pm+7am ... and the blocking took effect mid of afternoon 3pm. My kids missed their online class...
As for me Deco M4 did not work since it is very slow. My pldt fiber is 100Mbps while Deco M4 directly connected through cable reada only 10-15 Mbps or even less. For 6 months until now it is not working,,,very hard to get technical assistance
Can the main deco be moved after it’s been connected to a different room
Hi tplink, can I put my second router in my room then connect lan cable to my desktop PC?
Hello there, both LAN ports on the mesh node can be used to connect LAN cable to PC.
Help! Both decos are successfully set up but when I connect to them, it says "connected, no internet" How do i fix this?
It means you plugged the mesh to the modem .u need to plug it in your router.. The black thingy.. At the back it says ethernet. Not lan which is on your modem
Thanks @@azhadahlami
@@azhadahlami thank youuuu
Disappointed 👎 Always losing the connection. Reset..reset n reset all the time.
Somebody please help me, why can I register my account at tp link?. It said already sent a message to my email but I didn't receive any of it
baru je install deco m4, connected level atas kat 2nd unit mesh.. internet lagi slow compare dgn direct connect dgn modem wifi kat tingkat bawah.. rugi plak langgan RM15/month for 2 years woiiii...
ya ke. bru smpai brg ni.
@@linakaseh3654 baru update firmware yg terkini.. still lagi masih dpt latency spike setiap 10 saat.. sy check speed dlm game tu yg bole nmpk latency (ms).. hope so dorg update firmware baru.. and sy dah order cable lan cat7 utk connect main mesh dgn router..
Ya yang untung unifi dan tplink
@@drzacks last2 sy beli cable cat7 dgn cat8 cucuk router to mesh1, mesh2 to pc.. baru sedap dapat max 100mbps.. rasanya beli kat shopee terus lebih berbaloi daripada beli bayar bulanan rm15 kat unifi. barang sama
Tried connect but then no internet connection it said. Then the light only solid white. I’m a bit lost now.
Can the main device placed somewhere else once its done setting up?
do i need to set it up at the place i need to place it or i can set it up at any places?
If everything is all set, can you turn off the wifi from your router so that you can only use the wifi from the Deco mesh?
The instructions are confusing, the guidelines at the 1st page show the Deco connect to unifi router (black) while the router connect to TM's modem (white)..then on page 5, it said disconnect old router (the unifi's router) n connect the Deco to modem..so which one is correct? As for now i ignore the instruction to remove the old router, n just connect the deco to router instead of to modem..but my wifi got two connections now, one is my old wifi connection n another one is from my deco..can someone tell me, if i disconnect the router from modem, then connect the deco to modem directly, will it got no problem?
wait so i still need to use the original router from Unifi?
mean the main setup need 3 plugs?
Modem , original router and the deko ?
See their other guide (PPPoE mode) then you don't need original router.
basically, this mean the main mesh act as the primary router with new ssid for another mesh, then can use same ssid for all the mesh. with mean, got 2 ssid, 1 from unifi black router, and this mesh is new ssid...?
Yes
How to configure if I just want my Deco's to act as an Access Point only because I already have a dedicated router?
Once you finish the setup process, you can change it to access point mode in the Deco app.
@@TPLinkMalaysia1 thanks!
@@TPLinkMalaysia1 what is the difference between deco as main router that sit beside unifi black router to access point? When i change the router setting means all my electronic devices need to do reconnection? Like my 6x units cctv etc?
