I have several WiFi IOT devices with static IP addresses that are connected to a AX21 configured as an Access Point. I know they are connected to the Access Point but they do not show in the AX21 Client list. The Host, an Actiontec T3280, shows them as wired clients. The Host is the DCHP server. The AX21 shows all the connected clients to the Host and AX21 that use DCHP for IP Addresses. The IOT devices are cameras and other smart devices I use with Blue Iris and Home Assistant so I prefer to keep them Static IPs. The Actiontec appears to have a limit on DCHP Reservations. Any suggestions to get the to show up on AX21 with static IPS?

So I upgraded to an XE75 Pro from a AX11000

Currently, because I did not want to have to redo address reservations and setting up local tuya with home assistant, I just turned the wifi off on my AX11000, and use the ethernet to connect my decos and other ethernet devices. I have the decos set up in AP mode.

It occured to me that my AX11000 is only sending gigabit internet as it has gigabit ports. To utilize the 2.5gbps port I would need to use the deco as a router and plug directly into it.

My issue is I rather not have to setup all my DHCP address reservations again, I need them connected using the same IP address because I have smart home local control that is dependent on it being a static IP.

So my question is this:

1. Is there an easy way to import address reservations from a AX11000 router to the XE75 Pro
2. If not, is there an alternative router that is easy mesh compatible and has wifi 6e that allows importing the address reservations? For example the AXE75?

And lastly, if there is no easy way to import it, can I manually use MAC address details to specify what IP address should be used?

Is this really a power saver? How much energy could it possibly save? Do you recommend it 24/7, when you’re not using the network (like sleeping), or never?

If I mix 3 v4.6 and 2 v2.6 (custom ISP firmware) devices will I lose this functionality and lose even more features?

Ok I've been searching the Internet for a while but it's so confusing so I'll just give you my particular case a hopefully someone has the answer I'm looking for!

Our router is downstairs, 500 MB/s speed with Vodafone, WiFi 5 I believe (white router)?

My PC is upstairs and currently I'm getting 10-20 MB/s via Wi-Fi. I have a long Ethernet cable running outside through the windows but that's not a viable solution long term.. Running a really long Ethernet cable inside would be very difficult.

I thought of using a Moca system through coax but I'm not sure if coax is working so didn't want to fork out £120 for something I'm not sure will work.

tl:dr: So I'm looking for a decent Mesh system option for my specific situation so that I can game upstairs with good speeds and good ping. Currys sells X20, M4, E4, X1500, X50. Wouldn't want to spend much more than £150 on it. What are your recommendations?

So i recently found myself in the need of buying a wifi adapter since the wifi card in my laptop probably fried itself. I had some issues with my older adapter so i decided to buy a TP-link one, and im pleased! the download speeds are way better now and i can see myself capable of actually downloading more than 1GB in an hour!
But i usually end up having to switch to the older adapter when it comes to online games, not entirely sure why the TP-link adapter seems to have some ping/lag issues (freezing in plaze in a game or teleporting to where i was barely a second ago). I wanted to be sure so i looked at the task administrator to check what the hell was going on and..

This is the wifi performance while playing an online game

I find multiple spikes that go from a reasonable speed and drop to 0 constantly, testing around a bit i came to the conclusion that the adapter "stops" itself from working when it thinks it has downloaded everything, and thats whats making the constant jitter in my games (or perhaps it has to do with download and upload?).
But just for testing i also decided to watch a video to see if it happened something similar but the buffering prevented me from noticing, but instead of watching it normally i kept jumping to random spots on the video to make sure it was forced to download constantly

Wifi performance while jumping around a video

Seeing this its pretty obvious the adapter is perfectly capable of downloading a video (or anything for that matter). Which leads to me ask this question:
Is there any configuration option to improve the performance during online games? or is it a hardware limitation in terms of changing between download or upload?

I have close to 0 knowledge about all this so excuse me if i said something dramatically stupid.
Thanks for your attention!

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask a question as I am quite bad with these issues and I don't understand much.

I live on a fifth floor and I have a local in the ground floor of the same building which obviously does not reach the internet, I have the same electrical network both in the local and at home.

With some model of TP Link is it possible for me to get internet to the local? Which one would be better for distance? I would like one that can connect devices with WIFI instead of using the Ethernet cable. Thank you very much.

Getting a Ethernet mesh setup on my large property and I'm considering 4 of either the X55s or the XE75s.

The only difference I see is wifi 6 or wifi 6E, with the 6E having the 6G.

Am I right in thinking there's no difference in terms of range with respect to their wifi 2.4G and 5G? I get the whole future proofing thing, but for now, I won't see any differences in speed and range in these two wifi signals?

So I have a C125 and C220. Both are set to record whenever motion or a person is detected. The cameras are really good at detecting these and sending notifications. Problem is, they’re too good.

If I have a housekeeper at home I’d like it to record the time they are there. I figured it would detect motion/person and start recording and be smart enough to wait a while before notifying me again.

But it doesn’t stop with the notifications. It’s like every 2 minutes for hours at a time. If the person goes out of view for 3 seconds and then comes back it sends me two notifications. This goes on all the time so I end up having to go into the app and manually disable motion/person detection and switch to continuous recording. Then I’ll check my camera later on and if the people are gone by then I have to manually go back and turn off continuous recording and turn motion/person detection back on.

Am I missing something here? Doesn’t Tapo know to detect motion/person and just start recording. Then stop recording after no motion or person is detected let’s say after 30 minutes or something?

I can’t be the only one suffering from this. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

I've noticed other posts show a mesh technology switch for devices. I have a x55 system and do not have that switch. All x55s are up to days as well as the app. I can't even select a preferred x55 for a connection. Anyone experience this before?

What's the best choice to buy? AX73 or AX 6600?

I am using the old Archer VR900. My PC also has a 2.5 Gbps network card; internet uses 600/500 Mbps. I also like to send files locally, which sometimes are big.

Hi all. Hopefully just a quick and easy one here but appreciate any responses I get.

I have a home network of 5 Deco M9 Plus' set up throughout my house. The main one is connected directly to my internet providers router which I have set to modem mode. That same main deco unit has an ethernet cable that runs directly to my PC.

I'm in the process of upgrading my internet where I should be getting speeds of up to 1.5Gbps. However, I believe I am right in saying that the M9 Plus ethernet out to my PC can only handle speeds up to 1Gbps. In order to take advantage of the full 1.5Gbps, could I in theory buy just one XE75 and use this as the main unit, and will this then work with the rest of the network that is the M9 Plus?

I think I'm right in saying the M9 Plus also only supports wifi speeds up to 570Mbps or something to that effect, but that's plenty fine for the wifi. It's only the direct ethernet supply to the PC that needs to be the maximum speed.

Alternatively, my providers "modem" has a 2.5Gbps port and the rest are 1Gbps. So I could plug the PC supply directly into the 2.5Gbps port and the main Deco into one of the 1Gbps ports. I've not tried that but I would assume that would work okay?

Thanks.

I need to use it with a https://www.qnap.com/en/product/qxg-5g1t-111c/specs/hardware

So no idea where this new subscription model came from but out of nowhere I now see that I no longer have access to parental controls unless I sub.

I bought my deco units because at the time there was nothing in the subs that I wanted and it was no subs thing that sealed it for me. Parental controls were free.

But now I cant edit the existing parental controls unless I sub, that is horseshit. So now what?

It's been a while since I bought TP-Link Archer Tx55E, but I haven't been able to use bluetooth. Wifi it's working just fine but even if I tried to install the drivers, bluetooth doesn't seem to work at all. (I have an amd ryzen 5600g processor)

So I got this switch cause my router doesn't have enough ethernet ports. I followed the instructions from tp link. Connected it to the main router with the cable.

The switch receives information because the green light where the router is connected flashes green.

I have only my pc connected to the switch. I checked with CMD for connection and Pc can read the IP address of the router and the name, but says no internet connection in settings. When I plug the pc directly to the router it works fine.

I'm out of ideas. Anyone had similar issue? The solutions I found here are too vague for me to understand I'm a noob. I've been told the switch is plug and play. Thanks

Moving in the next few weeks and trying to plan my network install around a TP-Link EX820v AX6000 that will be provided by BRSK for my 2Gbps connection.

I currently have 3x Deco XE75s but I believe these won’t be compatible with the EX829v due to it being Aginet?!

I’ll be running ethernet throughout the house from a core 24 port 2.5GbE PoE switch and majority of devices will be connected to that.

I’m looking for an access point that can be ceiling mounted and managed in one ecosystem like the decos.

The hx510-poe looks promising but can't find any release date for it.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

everytime I try to connect to the wifi that closest to me it says "can't connect to network" but I can connect to the network thats at the other side of my house. I have a tp link dongle and I even tried wps but it just says I can't do it so I'll have to type in the password, but when I type in the password I get the same message. what can I do?

Hi, my Tp-Link Travel Router TL-WR1502X seems to be crashing? A few days ago it happened once, then yesterday it happened twice. A simple hard reboot (unplugging the power and plugging it back in) got it up and going again. I'm using it a Winter Rental here hooked up to a Xfinity Router in Router mode so the signal is next to that. Just checked and it's up to date firmware wise. Just set up a return with Amazon, but I'd like to keep it if I can solve the crashing issue. Should I put it into AP mode instead?

I'm getting really frustrated with the XE75 "bug" that causes the LAN to disappear when the WAN goes down. This was fixed in build 20240311 for the XE55 released back in April by allowing the user to set the WAN port manually (#5. Supported LAN-WAN port fixed feature.). Why has this not come out for the XE75s yet? Is there a beta firmware that we can get access to? I can't believe this is still an issue so long after diagnosis.

Hi I have a Deco X55 with 2 units, my internet is 1G, if I make a speed test in my wired PC I get around 900 Mbps. The main X55 of course is wired to the router and the other one has a wired backhaul, so I assume both are getting this speed. According several X55 reviews I read in the web they get around 750Mbps speed by wifi. The issue is if I make a speed test with my phone near one of the units I only get around 415Mbps download and 300Mbps upload, I assume my phone is using wifi 6 as there is a little 6 in the wifi graphic in the phone. Is this speed I am getting normal???, why the web reviews are getting almost double speed??? Thanks

Total internet connection novice so apologies for lack of knowledge in advance. We have FIOS that does not do a great job of covering the house, especially with kids' computers in basement and upstairs, so wanted to install three BE63 with one on each floor. We only have Verizon internet, not TV, and have a G3100 router in the living room and ONT in the basement. Based on research here and on TP Link forums, I had thought that I could simply unplug the ethernet cable to the G3100 and plug that into my main BE63 unit. When I tried that, I did create a WiFi network after going through the app setup but I did not get an Internet connection. Is there something obvious I'm missing here to get an internet connection, other than possibly needing to get someone more experienced to handle installation?

I have an Ax55, in the router admin portal there's just a setting to enable or disable SPI-firewall, nothing else. Every other router I've had had the customizable firewall WTF?

The product above is on sale on Amazon. A 3 pack retails for 399.99 but is on sale in the U.S. for 299.99. Is this as low as they will go or do we feel it'll get lower closer to Black Friday?

Hey everyone new to tp link . I just bought a router ax3000 and something really strange happened when I was trying to set this router up it would not show up under the default name I then hooked it up to my pc to do it via the internet and hardwired the factory password was not working and the go to “password” for signing into the router did not work either. Should I be taking this back because it clearly was owned before me? Or is there something I may be missing (ps all the packaging was still intact.)

Any help is much appreciated

To start my setup is: AT&T modem> Main Deco (downstairs)> TP Link Switch (TL-SG1005D)> Cat 6 Wall Plate> Upstairs Deco.

I bought a pair of Deco AXE5400 about a month ago. I just ran a new cable to use Ethernet backhaul on my upstairs Deco and I plug it in and get nothing. I have confirmed that all cables, switches, wall plates are good.

So I took the upstairs unit downstairs where my main Deco is located and plugged it in directly and EB worked fine. I then took it over to my TP Link switch and went directly out of the switch to my upstairs unit with the same short jumper and again got EB no problem. I then took it back upstairs and plugged it directly into the cable that’s plugged into the back of my new wall plate and again EB just fine.

I then plugged it into the wall plate and nothing. So I then went back to the previous step and still nothing. Even with restarting power I can’t get it back no matter what. I tested the wall plate and a few different jumpers with a spare router and all works fine. However, the Deco will NOT pick the signal up for some reason and keeps defaulting to WB.

For a supposed plug and play system this has been extremely frustrating so far. Is there any way to force EB or any tips or more troubleshooting/configurations I can do to try and get this to work? Quickly running out of ideas and if I can’t get it to work I’m probably going to return it and try another mesh system.

Can i my Alfa ER605, connect it by the usb port on the ER605, To add wireless connection to the ER605? So adding a wireless feature of a AP?

I haven’t gotten a TPLink AP yet, ‘But have that network adapter, Would that work?

Hi all!

I’ve bought an un managed switch LS105G, which i Connect directly to the router (Livebox 6+ provided by Orange).

I’ve tested the cable using a network cable tester. The problem is that when I Connect the router to the switch it doesnt make any light. If I use the same port and the same cable to Connect to the TV its Starter doing light.

I dont know why this switch is not working with my router and that cable.

Any ideas?
