I have switched the UPC router to bridge mode and switched off the WLAN. I did not change the SSID. That works fine. However, I don't know if this is the most sensible solution.
Hello, I have 3 Deco Repeaters set up in my house, all connected without Ethernet cables, working fine. However, they must not be too far apart, otherwise the signal cannot be transmitted.
The Deco from TP-Link do not need to activate an app for parental control and antiphishing protection. These functions, called Home Care, are already integrated in the routers, you only have to switch them on and configure them in the Deco application.
I have the same setup in router mode, provided your box is also the "narrow" one and not the more square one (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Connectbox.jpeg/800px-Connectbox.jpeg). Have you updated DECO and tried factory-reset? To find the error, can you connect a device directly to the modem via Ethernet the next time you lose the connection and see if that works?
So the use of these products is the same, you can also build a mesh network with them as you know it from Ubiquiti. However, the properties, i.e. the specifications, are different; the Tp-Link has a lower transmission rate.
Yes, each of the three Decos has 2x RJ45. All three Decos are identical. When setting up, one is defined as the main node - the one that is connected to the Internet (modem) via cable. I have connected my TV to a second Deco via RJ45. Works perfectly with UHD from Netflix or from the NAS. I don't know for sure whether the Swisscom box can handle it. But I would be surprised if it didn't.
Well, the Deco can also connect to each other via the LAN cables, so if it is possible to connect the Deco with the technician box to another Deco outside via LAN, then the mesh network is saved. Theoretically, this could also be done via WLAN from the technician box, but it definitely works better with a LAN connection. The third Deco can then be connected again via wireless.
It also works when the wifi of the subtle box is on. Just shines a little brighter 😁
In general, the double NAT would be the problem in this configuration:
Both your Sunrise box and the primary Deco are now playing router. This is not ideal, but it works.
Try to find out the IP in the Deco under "Internet Connection". If it says 168.x.x or 172.x.x you have Double NAT.
Solution: take this IP with 1 at the end and enter it in the browser. This should take you to the Sunrise Box where you can change the mode to "Bridge".
Example:
In the Deco it says: 172.168.0.110
You now go to Chrome:
172.168.0.1
Then somewhere in the settings there is the Bridge mode.
Then you may have to wait or restart the Deco. If it works, the Sunrise WLAN is gone and so is the Double NAT.
I assume you have Internet via the former Cablecom and not ADSL/VDSL via telephone?
I have an RJ45 connection in several rooms and a switch in the basement that is connected to these room connections.
Is it possible to connect more than one Deco to the wired Internet source, so that each Deco functions as a complete AP with a direct wired connection and one still has the mesh functionality in parallel?
Ethernet backhaul seems possible, but if I interpret it correctly, the Decos would have to be wired to each other.
Is my understanding correct that the following setup should then work?
- UPC modem placed in basement
- Main deco in basement, gets internet from UPC modem
- Cable from port 2 of main deco goes into switch in basement
- Decos in room are all connected by cable to room socket.
- the decos then draw an address from the main deco via cable/DHCP
Hello everyone
I have a Sunrise conntect Box 3 with 1GB down and 100MB uplode.
I have switched off the WLAN on this box.
I have connected the main Deco (P9 plus) to an Ethernet port on the router.
I have 3 more Deco P9 Plus distributed around the house, all of which should form a Mash network.
The main Deco is in access point mode.
When I do a speed test in the area of a Deco that is connected via the Mash, I only achieve a bandwidth of approx. 80 MB down and 60 MB up.
Who can give me a tip?
Thank you
Dear Mannyd
First of all: the Deco M9 Plus system is not just a repeater, but a mesh system, three-band 😀 (-->google).
For directly connected devices (PC, printer), LAN is considered the fastest. You are already well served with network cabling. I assume you are still looking for WLAN coverage? We have had good experiences with the Deco 9M Plus in our large house (4 floors plus an extension with 2 floors with a total of 6 Deco panels (because 3 units from Deco are connected via LSN cable) with 5 adults: i.e. exclusively via WLAN, without a LAN connection in every room. This does not answer your question, but from my point of view, the solution you are looking for would be unnecessary.
