Fantastic Video, answered a lot of queries in one Video. Thanks a ton. Just one Question. - I have 3 Deco M4 and was looking for Wired Which has only 2 Ethernet ports, and now i have 4 Tapo Cameras which i want to connect via Ethernet, Can we connect a Switch to the Main Deco and then connect other Deco to that Switch?? would that create the Ethernet Link in between them and bring all the IOT devices into the LAN?
Nice video! I have a network set up with 5 of these, the first one configured as an access point and the rest as mesh, all connected by cable. It is good to say that when I connect a sixth device in mesh mode, the network no longer seems to work as well, it seems that its maximum limit is 5 units. To solve this, I put 2 range extenders at the ends of the network and that is how all 7 units work.
Great video! I have a question: How can I connect the Reyee router with the Deco router so I can take advantage of the Reyee router's many antennas for better coverage, instead of letting it go to waste?
Great video. Can I connect the internet directly to one of the units ? I have fibers internet and sfp converter so I can connect to the mesh using a cable.. but can the mesh talk to my isp ?
If you have fiber internet, I imagine you have an ONT. From the ONT's ethernet port, you can connect to this mesh system directly. That's actually my setup.
Thanks for mentioning the cat 6/7/8 cables! I have one question to ask though, if you’re paying for 1000mbps speed, will they go above or be capped at 1000? Also, what do you recommend better between the Wi-Fi 6E mesh and wifi7 knowing I have the 1000mbps service? Thanks in advance!
Typically they stop at 1000Mbps, some of them or most actually stop at 940Mbps for "gigabit". Either one is fine, wifi 6e is fast enough for gigabit if that's what you're asking.
Great vids many thanks! My question: In AP MODE, my topology is mode/router ISP ethernet to MAIN DECO, port 2 on modem/router/ISP to switch, that feeds all the ports in my house. I have 2 DECOS hardlined to those ports in the house. Is this an example of a wired backhaul?
@@landpet I'm so appreciative of your time! How do I get my APs connected directly to each other across a 3500 sq ft house, so as to leverage Ethernet back haul? I guess I'm thinking that all my Deco devices except the main Deco device are hard lined to a port that connects to a switch is an Ethernet back haul. Is it? Thanks again!
I have Deco XE 75 three units system in my house And I also have M9 with 1.6.4 firmware that is not being used right now I am wondering if I can repropose the M9 for the coverage of the backyard Would there be a problem if I add M9 to XE75 network? Is it OK to mix different units on the same network under the same management console ??
funny, I saw you on the Tesla livestream last night. Today I am switching my internet around and I had questions about the mesh systems... you just happened to pop up. I was like... How do I know this guy? :D Without me having to dig through all of the internet garbage. Can you just tell me which mess brand is the best? Ty.
Nice! Thanks for subbing! For the price, the tp-link deco is best. This deco be63 is my favorite for internet speeds of up to 2.5Gbps. Here is a summary video of the best for various speeds: Top 6 Mesh WiFi Systems for 2024: Speed, Range, & Budget Picks (WiFi 6, WiFi 6E, & WiFi 7) th-cam.com/video/uRH9FT67isA/w-d-xo.html
How many Wifi Network SSIDs can be setup on this model? Say i want set for Guest SSID to have restrictions, One Secure SSID, and another for smart devices SSID. Is this possible to have several?
Is there any way to connect ONT directly to main mesh and use it as a router? feels like there is no use for extra router in that set up. I tried with my mercusys mesh system but even in PPPoE mode looks like it does not work.
Yes, you can connect the ONT directly to the Deco. That's my setup. I demonstrate it with a cable modem which is the equivalent of an ONT for cable users.
This mesh system doesn’t provide PoE. I haven’t seen a TV accept PoE, that typically implies the tv would be powered via Ethernet. Plugging an Ethernet cable from this deco to the tv would provide the tv internet access assuming this deco was connected to an internet source such as a cable modem or ONT for example.
I was thinking for a satellite, not the main. It would be super cool if you could power the deco with an ethernet cable from the TV and give it internet at the same time 😂😂
hey @landpet does daisy chaining the decos via wired backhaul affect their performance....i mean main deco > sat 1 > sat2. will that be a problem if i don't want a switch will my wifi speed get affected? Kindly help
One of these Decos needs to plug into modem via ethernet, aside from that you have a lot of freedom. you can connect your devices via wifi or ethernet to the decos but the deco must connect to the modem via ethernet directly
there's a VPN option in the deco app. You have to set it up with your VPN in there, once that's enabled. Then all devices within the deco's network is under VPN
Haw do you test lan speed Can you explain this in little more detail please? I have gigabyte size file stop watch and a calculator There’s got to be a better way 😅

How much square footage are you trying to cover?

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks man 🎉
No problem 👍
Great video! I have a question: How can I connect the Reyee router with the Deco router so I can take advantage of the Reyee router's many antennas for better coverage, instead of letting it go to waste?
You can run it in access point mode by going to the options but I personally don't like to mix and match
Debating between a two pack of these or the be550. 3000sqft home with 2gig fiber connection.
Also looking at the Nighthawk rs300… thoughts? Thanks!
I haven’t tried the RS300 but the BE63 is good. I may even say you need a 3 pack f the BE63 for optimal coverage
@@landpet thank you!
Thanks for the video help me a lot. Make so easy to set up

Yes if I understand correctly what you said, but I typically connect the decos to each other either daisy chained or star topology.

In wireless backhaul do I put the main deco in router mode or AP? Thanks. Really new at this. My wifi range isn’t good but have 1.5 gbs speed
Router mode, TP link will take care of the connections. As long as there is no other non TP Link router, you leave the TP Link in router mode
What do you think 2 be9300 or two pack of decco be10000?
Deco
How can I use this in a house wired for coax.
Can you connect two to the modem? I have my modem in the garage and outlets from the modem to my living room and office?
No
Can you connect your switch to the first router/mesh and then connect the other two mesh routers to the switch to create a back haul?
Yes
Can switch be used to connect many mesh devices to provide cable backhaul?
yes you can use a switch in between for the ethernet backhaul. Keep in mind, router must go to modem first though.
Ok, so, could you use an ethernet cable plugged into the tv for PoE?
And would that give the tv internet directly?
This mesh system doesn’t provide PoE. I haven’t seen a TV accept PoE, that typically implies the tv would be powered via Ethernet.
Plugging an Ethernet cable from this deco to the tv would provide the tv internet access assuming this deco was connected to an internet source such as a cable modem or ONT for example.

Modem recommendations for comast? Atm using aris surfboard 3.1 but it gets so hot
Check out the Netgear cm3000. Ask your ISP before getting it to verify it's compatible
can these just be access points ... i have a pfsense failover router that is primary
Yes, they can be. There’s an option in the deco app
hey @landpet does daisy chaining the decos via wired backhaul affect their performance....i mean main deco > sat 1 > sat2. will that be a problem if i don't want a switch will my wifi speed get affected? Kindly help
Shouldn't make a difference
@@landpet thank u so much ....stay blessed
Thank you very helpful
No problem!
hey there, am i able to just plug one of these in no ethernet into the router or such but an ethernet from one of these into like a pc?
One of these Decos needs to plug into modem via ethernet, aside from that you have a lot of freedom. you can connect your devices via wifi or ethernet to the decos but the deco must connect to the modem via ethernet directly
Can I connect from 1 switch to another switch, then distribute again from there?
Yes
How to connect all devices to vpn on deco wifi system ?
there's a VPN option in the deco app. You have to set it up with your VPN in there, once that's enabled. Then all devices within the deco's network is under VPN
Haw do you test lan speed
Can you explain this in little more detail please?
I have gigabyte size file stop watch and a calculator
There’s got to be a better way 😅
So i cannot connect two wires directly from the modem to the mesh system !?
No
Why would you do that?
Typical set up...man...I haven't seen a modem and router for years....last 10yrs has been combos as typical setups.
That's the typical setup from what I know
