TP-Link Deco X50-5G (1-pack)
Question about TP-Link Deco X50-5G (1-pack)
I would like to install this device in my caravan. As we are on campsites, I would like to ask whether this device can also be used as a WiFi router without a SIM card? Is it possible to log in via the campsite's wifi and connect several devices to the wifi via the router? On many campsites you have to buy a separate access for each device, now I am looking for a router where I only have to buy one access to the wifi and can connect the other devices to the router. Thank you very much

As a Wi-Fi router without a SIM card, the device cannot be used directly as a Wi-Fi repeater for an existing Wi-Fi network (e.g. from a campsite). It is primarily designed as a 5G router with a SIM card to provide Internet via the mobile network.
The Deco X50-5G does not support a direct connection to the campsite's Wi-Fi network in order to pass this on to several devices via its own router as a standard function. The device is not designed to log into an existing WLAN as a client and then pass it on as an access point.
The Deco X50-5G is therefore not suitable if you only want to buy access to the campsite's WLAN and then distribute it to several devices via the router. It needs its own internet source, ideally a 5G SIM card, to set up its own Wi-Fi to which you can then connect multiple devices.
To summarise:
- The router does not work as a Wi-Fi repeater or client that redistributes an external Wi-Fi network without a SIM card.
- It is intended for operation with a 5G SIM card to set up its own Wi-Fi.
- This model is not suitable for using the campsite Wi-Fi with only one access point and distribution to multiple devices.
So if you only want to use the campsite's Wi-Fi on campsites, you have to buy an access point for each device there or use another device that explicitly functions as a Wi-Fi repeater/client for existing Wi-Fi.
