The Deco X55s at my parents house and at my house aren’t sending Internet. Anyone else having issues with their decos?

I recently moved into a new place and went with the 5 Gbps plan with Google Fiber. The speeds were ok the first few weeks, but I was suffering from really bad bufferbloat with the provided Google Fiber 6E router. Work calls were constantly dropping, lagging in online video games, etc. The other day, I bought a TP-Link BE65 Pro mesh system to use in bridge mode to see if it would fix my latency/bufferbloat issues, and ultimately it did.

What’s weird is, when the new router is in bridge mode (connected to the old Google Fiber router), my download speed drops to around 2 Gbps, but my upload speed remains at 5 Gbps. However, if I remove the Google Fiber router from the equation and connect directly to the Fiber Jack with my TP-Link router (not using bridge mode anymore), I get the full 5 Gbps up and down but I again experience the same severe bufferbloat that was plaguing me to begin with (over 150 ms under load).

I’m using Cat 6E cables. I’ve set up all my IoT/smart home devices on the 2.4 GHz band and used the QoS function in the new TP-Link system. I’m obviously not a networking pro and could use some help to fix this. How can I get my TP-Link router to deliver the full 5 Gbps speeds without the bufferbloat issue? Also, why would the bufferbloat be better (lower) in bridge mode, but the download speeds are worse (lower) in bridge mode? Any suggestions are more than welcome, and if I’m missing something obvious, don’t hesitate to point it out.

Note: When I say bufferbloat, I am testing with the waveform bufferbloat test. I also am using ookla Speedtest and checking the ping under download/upload values. That is where I’m getting the 100ms/150ms ping value(s) from

None of my existing or new automations are working. They were doing but history shows quite some time since they were last triggered.

Everything is up to date, all sensors are working properly. But no automations trigger there's nothing in the history. Restarted, cleared cache, recreated all automations but nothing.

Any ideas?

I want to thank google developers. You see...for the past 5 years I've been using google wifi mesh and google nest mesh devices to push my internet through my home. They do work very decently but my mesh is wifi 5 set up and my isp is wifi 6(tri band router/modem).

I started looking at a new wifi 6 mesh setup and of course went to Google first...very pricey for what I would need...and..here is where I'm thankful to Google...they still didn't correct the major faux pas they did on the previous nest setup which would be removing the wired option on all pods. Google in their infinite wisdom has decided for the consumer..that we don't require the option to hardwire our devices..thereby nearly doubling our internet speeds to that particular device.

How very presumptuous of them! But again..I say thank you.

Due to their presumptuous attitudes towards the consumers needs...I started looking elsewhere.

I ended up buying a Deco Xe75 pro 3 pack and I have to tell you...I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. I'm getting near full speeds on hardwired applications and my wifi speeds although lower than hardwired...are nearly double what my Google mesh setup was pushing out.

I'm now removing Google wifi from my repertoire and on board with the speeds and reliability that the deco is providing our home.

Thanks Google 😀👍

Out of the three satellites, I’m not able to connect the third one. It says no internet connection; wondering what am I doing wrong, the other two popped up on the app no problem there. Please help!

Dear all, I purchased TP-Link Deco BE65 BE9300 - I have a query - I currently I do not use the 6 GHz channel. I wanted to ask how do the three nodes speak to each other ? Is it using this channel?

Thank you

My tp-link connected on the box doesnt detect the other one in my bedroom

We have a TP-Link Bluetooth Audio Adapter (HA100) that has stopped working. It can't be discovered by other devices, and the light on it is blue, suggesting that it is already connected to another device. I'd like to try to reset it, but I can't find a way to do so.

Hi all manaics

If you are in UK you can get one for yourself! Here is a link how to get fibre optic directly to BE800 from Virgin Media:

Here is a link for the router:

I was looking for a solution in YT, about changing ports on my router to have a better NAT, but none of them worked (I think cause or my router is too old or the internet USB provider is from my job).

Then I saw a video from Nintendúo, which showed the program GearUp Booster, but it has a free trial of only 24h.

So I was wondering if you guys knew other programs that can fix my NAT for free, or know which aspect of my computer the program GearUp Booster is saving to know that I am the same person, even changing user (my MAC, my IP...), because, by creating Virtual Machines I can create unlimited accounts for free, but its almost an hour long, so not worth it.

Just got this router and I have a question. How can I tell which wifi band is the gaming one? When I go into the app it just shows 2 5g and 1 2.4 but there’s no way to tell which 5g is the gaming one. Thanks

I cannot get the 2 to pair together. Ive pressed reset on router and wps on extender but still won't connect.

Hi! Woke up this morning to find my router not broadcasting a WiFi signal to connect to and doing the following loop

1. Power light on yellow

2. All lights off

3. All lights on yellow except internet which is orange

4. All lights off

Repeat

I have tried the following:
Powercycling
Hard resetting via the button at the back for 15-30 seconds
(with and without cables plugged-in)

Here is a video describing my situation (I am holding down the reset button as I count)

I haven't run into any problems so far with this router so any help is appreciated!

I purchased the ER7206 load balancer because I heard from others that it had an integrated power supply (and it was pictured as such both on the TP-Link site and in the Amazon listing I bought). But, it came with a power brick.

Is this an updated version? Should I return it for the ER605 which would otherwise have met my needs in the first place?

C41 Camera can boot up and work with no SD card, as I tested before installing the thing. Installation is difficult and annoying. It was a false sense of security.

Once the SD card is in, fails at connecting to home wifi network. I tried in this order:

• cannot format SD card as there is no feature to do so in the app

• reset the camera, follow all steps and then it failed again halfway unable to detect it's own device network

• reset camera, follow all steps, forget device network, redo device network, fail at connecting to wifi network. At this point it is unfeasible that it is too far from the router, it is next to the router. The password is correct, input manually multiple times to check. Also unfeasible that the network is down, my other devices are connected.

What else am I doing wrong? Is this the LIFX of the camera world where nothing will connect and I have to fake hotspots on multiple devices?

I am planning to purchase a TP-Link Deco XE70 Pro for my college dorm to plug into the gigabit ethernet port as their normal Wi-Fi is capped aroud 150-200 Mbps and all my devices support Wi-Fi 6E. I made a post on my college's subreddit asking if it would cause problems on their network and they said the main issue would be Double NAT. Frantically, I tried to find a solution, as I really want wireless gigabit internet and a private LAN in my dorm, and it seems the best option is Access Point Mode on the Deco. I know of the official limitations, which aren't a big deal for me, but I have a few questions Access Point Mode:

1. Would the Deco's network still have its own SSID and password?

2. Would the speeds be the same as if it was in router mode?

3. Could it have any adverse affects on the college network seeing as it's no longer acting as a router?

I've got an archer ax6000 router and it works amazing. It hits about 90% of our house and I'm looking to fill in that last 10%. Does something like re815x work as an AP with seamless roaming between the archer? I've got the whole house wired so I would prefer something that can be plugged in, but I cant find if it works with OneMesh as a wired AP.

I tried a deco mesh system and with 3 x55's spread around the house and the router wifi off, I got much worse speeds than with just the router but seamless transitions. Already returned it, a deco mesh system isn't quite what I'm looking for. I just want to extend my current wifi coverage with an AP but I want my devices to seamlessly transition like the deco mesh system.

I looked at replacing EVERYTHING with a full Omada system, but that seems like overkill for what should be a pretty simple request to just extend my current coverage. Everything else on my setup works well, so I'd like to keep it if possible.

Hi , I have a tp link which I use for my pc and fire stick , but can only use one at a time as it only has 1 Ethernet port on the bottom … when I plug an Ethernet extender in which has an additional 3 Ethernet ports , it just doesn’t work , any help ?

I have a TP-link AC750 Mesh Wi-Fi Range Extender bought and used for a while in USA.

Can I bring It to France and (using a travel adapter for the power) just plug it in? There is no power brick, so how does it deal with the differing voltage?

I went to the TP-Link page for the item, but there was no obvious answer.

TIA

Hi,

I got this router around 2 weeks ago and I'm experiencing a couple of issues.

Issue 1: Disconnections

This has mostly been happening on my S24 Ultra but it's also occurred on an iPad Air and a Dell Latitude 5530. All clients are connected to my main network over WiFi.

Issue 2: Clients Not Appearing In Client List

Some clients are not appearing in the client list despite being connected and working as expected. Specifically, an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max and an Amazon Echo Dot (3rd Generation). Oddly, I have two other Echo Dots that do appear in the client list.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max: Connected to the main network over WiFi

Echo Dot: Connected to the IoT network over WiFi

Current Wireless Settings:

• TWT: Enabled
• OFDMA/MU-MIMO: OFDMA Only
• Smart Connect: Disabled
• 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and 6Ghz: All enabled with the same SSID and password
• MLO Network: Enabled with the same SSID and password as above
• IoT Network 2.4Ghz - Enabled with a different SSID and password

Steps Taken:

I've restarted the router multiple times and I know I'm on the latest publicly available firmware. I've got Hardware Version: V1 and Firmware Version: 1.0.8 Build 20240226 rel.61914(4555).

Can anyone help with either issue? Also is anyone experiencing the same issues?

Thanks in advance!

Im using the canadian model and running the latest software

If I goto the web interface (not mobile app) if selecting advanced settings then system parameters for a split second I can see the option for

Wifi Coverage

and then it disappears. If I try hard enough I have a few sec to see the options for

Low

Middle

High

but the option disappears before I can set anything

Here is a video showing what I mean

https://youtu.be/CYA7KGncjPk

Why is it doing this and should those options be available or not in the first place?

Thanks for any assistance

I have an Archer C8 router and It says it is not compatible with one mesh. Is there any way to get it to connect to one mesh or some other type of mesh system? I have two TP-Link Wi-Fi extenders and six different networks to connect to is a bit annoying 🫤

I have recently acquired a Few decos but am unable to choose the path of the network.

The furthest deco will connect to the fist one if you know what I mean.

Is there anyway to plot the network and choose which deco connects to which deco thank you

Just started a WFH job where they require ports 50/500/4500 to be open. My internet service provider could not do this on the modem/router combo and told me to buy a new router. I now have the TPLink Archer AX3000 Pro.

My question are: How do I know if those ports are open? How do I open them?

I’ve done research, but I’m not the most tech savvy person out here. I know I go to the tplinkwifi.net and go to port forwarding, but what do I select for “Service Name”? For “Device IP Address” do I put the laptop I’ll be using or the router’s info?

I just would love for someone to walk me through this as I need to have it done by next week.

Thank you in advance!!

So I am going to be re-setting up my network when my replacement system arrives. I currently have quite a few (50+) smart devices like bulbs, plugs etc. If I move all of them to a separate IOT network will my Alexa devices need to also be on the IOT network? If they do, will I still be able to use the Alexa app to make changes/add devices if my phone is not?

Thanks,

JC
