I have two AX73 and a AXE75. EasyMesh works when the following setup is possible:

ONT --> tp-link main router --> tp-link satellite router(s)

However I don't need or have the space for a router where I have the ONT. I have mini PC opnsense box that I want to connect to the switch:

ONT --> opnsense router --> gigabit router --> tp-link routers

But they don't make a mesh, I'm a bit stuck with tp-link easy mesh and one mesh, thinking of giving deco a try.

Deco Ax5400 with two nodes and 2.5gbe port is selling for $300cad. Can someone confirm if the following setup will work:

ONT --> opnsense router --> 2.5gbe switch --> both decos connect to this switch in access point mode.

Will ethernet backhaul work in Access Point mode connected to the same switch?

Asus aimesh does that as far as I read online.

Hello

Since some weeks I note a very strange behavior or my MR600 V2

Right after power on, if I scan my network I can see all my devices (19 in all) but after some time, between 5 mins to 1 hour, a scan cant find any devices

On the web interface I can see they are all still connected

They all still have acces to internet

They simply can access each other like if the option AP ISOLATION was set On, which is not the case (option unticked)

I tryed a lot of things including

• Factory reset the MR600
• Downgrade to previous version of firmware (1.7 to 1.6)
• Change SSID and some sttings

with no luck

As I need to acces the rest of my devices from the internal network that's a pain

Works for 36 months before that without any problem

Thanks for any idea

I currently have a 3 X55 network set up. I am considering adding a 4th satellite. Would I see any benefits of adding a X95 or XE75 and using it as the main connection to the router? If I'm understanding it right, the 3 x55 satellites don't have the tri band to get the benefit of that wireless backhaul? So would it be better to save a bit and just get another x55?

As a side note, I'm mainly doing this because my kids still complain of lag on their pc's. I'm planning to upgrade their wifi cards (might as well get a 6e compatible card to future proof). In that case should I get a x95/xe75/x55?

So, our ISP recently upgraded our fiber optic to 2gbps from 1. I have the eero pro 6 mesh system but it can handle only up to 1 gbps. The ethernet ports on the X95 units show one 2.5gb in and two 1gb out. So if I connect the modem to the 2.5 port, that leaves only the two 1gb ports to hardwire any devices, so basically I'm back where I was with the eeros at 1gbps? What good is a router that accepts 2.5gb but only passes on 1gb to my devices? Am I missing something here?...remember I'm 5 years old, TIA

Anyone else having an issue that seems to recur most often when you open the Deco app where the entire system loses internet, seems to reboot? I open the app to take a look at devices, status, etc, and then a minute later internet goes down and all the units restart. This isn't every time I access the app, but if I am going through menus in the app, seems to trigger some sort crash maybe and restarts all of them sometimes. Tthe cache clears on these devices when they reboot and logs are not kept on the web GUI.

I just bought the system about a month ago. My main unit is wired in the office, and my Upstairs unit is also wired. The garage unit is wireless.

I have the firmware updated on all 3 units as well to latest. Also have the scheduled reboot for evernight at 3am. Noticed that the firmware doesn't match from the main unit to the others, but was guessing that has to do with it being the MAIN device, is that correct?

Office XE5300(2.0) 1.2.5 Build 20231225 Rel. 58766

Upstairs XE5300(1.0) 1.3.2 Build 20240119 Rel. 39178

I currently own the Deco AXE5300 mesh system. I am having an issue with Nest Battery Cameras. When I plug in the cameras, I have no issues but when they are unplugged, I get connection drops. I am on the latest firmware and I tried a different mesh system and did not get disconnected. Any ideas?

In my app it prompts me to upgrade my firmware. After upgrading, it says it's complete but when I go back to the home screen, it asks me to upgrade the same firmware again.

​

I've also tried on the webapp, and same thing happens. Any ideas?

As of now I could only find the Tapo lightstrip to be the only TPLink product with Matter compatibility in India. When are the rest of the accessories coming? Specially the smartplug.

I'm not looking to see all the cameras live. All I want is to be able to record all of them on storage as a backup if the cam/sdcard gets stolen

I already have 5 smart bulbs from 2 different 3rd-party manufacturers, which I control via Google Home/Assistant using my phone and tablet.

I'm looking to get a physical switch for my mum to control one of the lights, as she recently had a stroke and her mobility is limited.

Will the S200D switch and H100/H200 hub work with these 3rd-party bulbs, or will I need to buy Tapo bulbs as well?

I have a OC200 that had a strange oil on it. Could that be acid?

It might me cleaning oil, It’s in a cabinet that’s used for a stereo.

I am thinking about adding this in front of my decos.

My network map right now is:

Internet —> Main deco - Switch { 2x deco satellites

New map would be

Internet -> 3in1 router/controller/switch -> (in ap mode) Main deco - Switch { 2x deco satellites

Thoughts?

I can get everything to work beautifully. Then a firmware update, sync, scheduled reboot, or wind changes direction and the system goes down, overrides my settings or reverts back to my settings from 3 months ago when my network was M5.

support.usa@tp-link.com can't solve it been trading emails for 2 months

Hello, I updated the firmware on my Deco X55 Pro setup after being notified in the app. Upon updating, my connection speed was limited to 1Gbps. I had no issues with my 2Gbps connection on all of my devices connected via 2.5Gbe connections prior to updating the firmware. I have reset my entire network, switched which deco was my main router, removed each router separately from the network and nothing changes. Any ideas? Connection is perfect directly from the modem. Thanks in advance!

What am I doing wrong? I have T-Mobile 5G internet and just found out that they have just started implementing data caps. I don't think I've ever had a router or wifi system of any kind that doesn't show you internet data usage but for the life of me, I can't find this in the Deco app. Even when I go to Reports, I don't see data usage in there.

Is there a menu I'm not seeing? I'd find it hard to believe that in this day and age a product from a company like TP-Link would be missing such a basic feature so I'm really hoping I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Is there any way to change the doorbell notification sound on a android phone.

I'm sick of hearing the loud ding dong when I'm out and about. Would much rather hear the standard notification sound and for doorbell press only.

Eufy I was able to change what notifications I get in the android settings so I was able to share one Eufy account. I am sharing one Tapo account in the same manner as Eufy and cannot get individual notification settings without it changing every userz which is a shame.

Hi All,

Quick question does the s200b button work with matter yet? Or does it at least work in SmartThings now?

Also if you have a h100 hub with matter support would that help to get the button added to my matter smart home?

Thanks in Advance

Hi there, i was wondering if i could get some advice with the Deco M4 mesh system.

They are currently set up in Wifi router mode, i think i need to change it to access point mode for my devices to be able to communicate with the main router that these are connected to.

Would swtiching modes cause me to have to put in all my passwords for my connected devices or would it just switch? Thanks!

The bottom of our Tapo C210 came off (with not much force, my 8 month old daughter got hold of it for a minute or so). I cannot reattach it and I’ve really tried. Is there a trick to this?

I have an Ax11000 I'm trying to figure out how to block internet access to my cameras in my house but keep LAN. Does anyone know how to do this as Ive searched/tried everything.

Got a new WiFi router yesterday and forgot to disable my Decos before swapping the router. My app no longer recognizes the Decos and basically is starting up as though I never have used Deco even though I am still signed in. Today I was able to reset the Decos and connect them to my new network, but the old one remains in the WiFi list on all devices both iOS and other, and I cannot reconnect them to that old WiFi in order to delete the network itself from the app as that router is now gone. I’ve looked at a bunch of the forums and articles about deleting the old network but all of them require doing so through the app which no longer connects the Decos to the old network. If anyone has any insight, please share.

TLDR: Cannot remove old Deco network after getting new router, can’t delete through app and Decos are already connected to new network.

Edit: I have manually reset both Decos already.

Right after warranty period one of the 1gig lan ports on my XE75 pro has stopped working. For now i’ve got a 1gig lan port switch connected to it for devices but anyone else faced this issue?

Hello,

I wanted to play Minecraft with friends, but port forwarding doesn't work. I set it up only in tp-link router because I can't log in to this ZTE device. My PC is connected with ethernet to tp-link router. Do I need to set port forwarding on this ZTE thing too or not? Should I call ISP?

Context: The router is on the 2nd floor, and I am trying to establish a good, stable connection to the PC and other systems in the basement. I cannot wire any form of Ethernet cable downstairs and am trying not to spend much time or money on it. The house is too old for internet over power, and wiring any form of Ethernet cable between floors is not possible because of the construction. I am not willing to spend hundreds of dollars to pay for someone to destroy my walls for the Ethernet cable wiring.

I am researching WiFi-Extenders and Mesh Networks, WiFi backhauls, and such, but in most of the reddit threads, people are just saying that Extender is bad and Mesh is very good (but I assume most people are using Wired backhauls). This will also cost like $500 for a decent system unless you buy the parts off of eBay.

I am searching for people who have actually used these WiFi extenders and how stable they are for a stable ping—no hiccups or spikes, really. I have a pretty good router, and the signal I am currently getting to the PC in the basement is about 80 downloads and 15 uploads. Anyone have any input on this sort of situation?
If I do use a mesh network with a WiFi backhaul and not a wired backhaul, will the connection be unstable at times as well?
I know that WiFi is volatile and changes based on my surrounding signals and surfaces, but has anyone used a similar configuration?

Newby question:

I recently replaced my home network (Asus RT-AX82U, Cisco SG110-16) with a TP-Link setup (OC200, ER7206, TL-SG2428P, & 2x EAP670).

It's been up and running for a little over a week and so far no major issues other than a few short dropouts now and then which I believe are the fault of the ISP, which is Spectrum (providing 500 Mbps down & 16 Mbps up). I have two questions on the setup though:

1. To this point I've been just using the iPhone app with the OC200 through cloud access, but have noticed from the user guide that the software controller seems to have much more detailed configuration options available. I installed the software controller on my laptop yesterday, was prompted to install Java and did, then was prompted to install MongoDB, which appears to be a paid service. For a home system, which MongoDB service should I purchase?

2. The ER7206 & TL-SG2428P both have grounding posts on the rear of the device; in a home environment where the devices are behind the UPS, how necessary is it to hook these up to a ground?

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for an opportunity to automate this events with my homeassistant server.

I've been using IFTTT trial period and there was Tapo integration, that can detect particular events (f.e. "Pet Detected" one), so I could run my logic on this event.

But IFTTT requires subscription for webhooks, that's the only way to integrate it to my HA, so I want to find another way to receive "Pet detected" event directly.

At Tapo portal I haven't find any kind of service to catch these events.

Does anyone have the same experience?

My devices stay connected to the 5Ghz extender network but I can tell I’m getting 2.4Ghz speeds. When I open the tether app it tells me to reselect the 5Ghz network. If I power cycle the extender the 5Ghz network will reconnect in the app and my devices will show 5Ghz speeds. Any thoughts on how to avoid having to power cycle the extender routinely? I would say this happens about once per week.
