Hey, nice vid! Quick question: With the first ethernet port being used as the source. Can you use the second ethernet port on the main router to have a wired ethernet connection to your PC?
Hi! Main router is in second floor. I only have one deco mesh, I am able to connect it via Ethernet cable however I want to put this deco upstairs but it came up with red light. Does this need to be connected to Ethernet cable at all times? So it means I have to buy another deco mesh so the WiFi could be strong upstairs? Thank youu for helping!
Yes. The main node needs to be connected to the main router at all times. Only the children nodes can be wireless. You can either buy another one, or you can use a longer LAN (rj45) cable
I have currently have modem-router combo(2in1) provided by local network provider. Im thinking of getting this, can i connect this to my modem-router via ethernet cable(bridge) and just disable wifi from my original modem-router ? Would that be possible ?
Yes, You can connect this to your source router. But you CANNOT disable internet to your source router. Think about it... If you do that, where would the mesh get it's connection? And if you are thinking of totally replacing the ISP router with the mesh, that is not possible. There are settings in your ISP's router that only they can set to enable your internet connection from them
I have set it up. The main unit is on the second floor, have other 2 units in the first and ground floors. However, the one on the ground floor has a weak signal, and in the map, I see it's connecting to the unit on the second floor. Can we make it to connect to.first floor unit to get a better signal
I"m not sure I get the question. You already have a router setup, which is your provider's network. Then you are just connecting the mesh to that, to extend the coverage of the wifi signal. So, in the end you will still have the SSID of the main router, plus the SSID of the main mesh. But they are all transmitting the same wifi network from your provider. I'm not sure what the "networks you previously used" is.
Hello! 😊 Can this be used like a router? I have now a provider router, but I would like to put it in bridge mode and use this as a router, could this be possible?
Yung main node dapat naka-wired connection sa source router. The rest ng children nodes wireless na. Basta abot ng signal ng main node, kahit saan mo ilagay ang child nodes pwede, kahit ilipat lipat mo pa. Lahat yan na-explain na sa video. Pakinood na lang ng buo para maintindihan ang concept ng mesh.
Technically, one would work. But that's just like putting up an extra modem as a repeater. The whole essence of a mesh is to create a mesh of networks with multiple nodes to cover wider area.
Question lng po..mas malakas ba wifi signal nito kisa router ng pldt?sa 2nd floor ng bahay mahina na kc ang signal ng 5g..pede po ba isa lng na mesh gamitin aabot ba sa taas?nsa 450sq feet lng bahay ko
Same lang siguro sa lakas ng WiFi signal compared sa ibang routers. Pwede naman isa lang. Ang unang mesh mo ay connected ng LAN Cable (RJ45). Kaya yung LAN cable mo dapat aabot hanggang sa pagpupwestuhan mo ng mesh.
@@ribbytrivia isang unit lng kc mesh unit papadala ng pldt..kc tinanong ko customer service ok na daw yung isa..aabot kaya sa 2nd floor yung signal ng mesh?
@@baytisoy8888 Hmmm... parang useless kung itatabi mo lang sa router mo. Ang pinaka-purpose nya ay ma-extend ang signal ng WiFi mo. Para magkaroon ka ng WiFi connection sa area ng bahay mo na mahina or walang signal. Kung itatabi mo lang ang mesh sa router, magkakaroon ka ng 2 WiFi signal, pero coming from the same area lang. Useless kung ako tatanungin mo. Suggestion ko mag-invest ka ng mahabang LAN cable na aabot sa 2nd floor mo. Tapos yung mesh dun mo mismo sa 2nd floor ilagay. Actually same tayo ng issue sa WiFi namin dati. Mahina sa 2nd floor. Kaya kinuha ko itong mesh offer ni PLDT. Tapos bumili ako ng LAN cable sa UGreen sa shopee. Yung main mesh nasa 2nd floor. Tapos yung 2nd mesh (node) ay nasa 3rd floor. Wala na kong problem sa connections. Lahat ng floor may kanya-kanyang malakas na connections na.
@@ribbytrivia gago kac tong pldt ,tinanong ko ilan ba dapat pag 2 storey house sabi nya ako bahala d natural kunin ko isa, sabi nya oki lng yan..hahay..problema kc wlang malinis na access pag wired ko pa punta sa taas
I don't understand the question. Mesh creates a wider coverage of WiFi. As long as your PC can connect to a WiFi, you don't need to do anything on it other than connect to it. The whole process of setting up a mesh has nothing to do with a PC
@@ribbytrivia i think he was trying to say that he will use the LAN Port of the deco m4 to connect his PC via RJ45 cable, since I think his PC doesn't have wifi. and yes, you can use the LAN port to connect to your PC. hope this helps :)
@@rhymcristobal4610 That's a lie. I am using my LAN 1 to LAN 4 ports for internet since day 1. Unless you have a different package for PLDT that includes cable subscription.

What is the maxamium space you can have between each unit
Signal is weak at 10 feet with 1 wall apart.
Hey, nice vid!
Quick question: With the first ethernet port being used as the source. Can you use the second ethernet port on the main router to have a wired ethernet connection to your PC?
Yes, you can.
I have this 3 package but I want to add one more device to be total 4, is that possible?
Yes. You can add as many nodes as you want

Can i connect my tplink archer c6 as main router or should I just connect the service providers Internet cable directly to deco device
You cannot replace the provider's router. You can only add access point, but never replace the main router
I have set it up. The main unit is on the second floor, have other 2 units in the first and ground floors. However, the one on the ground floor has a weak signal, and in the map, I see it's connecting to the unit on the second floor. Can we make it to connect to.first floor unit to get a better signal
I already have 2 existing m4. Is it possible if i order one more unit csn it connect if add a new device
Yes
After the set-up, should I turn off the 2G amd 5G networks I previosly used before I installed the mesh or do they have to be on?

Hello! 😊
Can this be used like a router?
I have now a provider router, but I would like to put it in bridge mode and use this as a router, could this be possible?
Not sure about bridge mode. Extender lang purpose nya.
What is max speed on lan cable or it has gigabit ports?
Yes, gigabits port. Max speed is 1.2 GBPS
Sir, i like to check with you is that posible we only fix 1 unit Deco M4 ? Thanks.
Yes. You can always setup more nodes later. 1 will do as an additinal access points
Is it possible for wireless connection to other router
Nope. Only mesh can do that. And even then, the main mesh still needs to be connected via LAN cable to the source
Very nice video thank you if you slow down maybe another 50% of the population is watching you will understand what are you saying thanks
You're welcome!
And maybe if you can use proper punctuation marks in your sentence, I can also understand what you're trying to say 😅
Sir gumagana po ba internet nito kahit nirelocate na? or kailangan forever naka lan po yung router sa deco?

Thanks!
So, we need to buy at least two of the Deco M4 for it to work?
Technically, one would work. But that's just like putting up an extra modem as a repeater.

Did you follow all instructions closely? Is it connected via LAN cable?
@@ribbytrivia Found out already :) LAN port is disabled. ISP enabled them to allow network flow.

@@rowandajamana Opo. Yung una ay main node mo. Sya lang naka-connect na wired sa ISP router mo. The rest ay child nodes, puro wireless na yun.
