Deco EasyMesh Feature Guide
 

Deco EasyMesh allows you to link the Deco and other EasyMesh-compatible devices to form a united mesh network. It helps further expand the wireless coverage.
Note:

1. Make sure the routers or extenders to be added support EasyMesh. Firmware upgrades may be required for certain models. Please check the user manual or ask the manufacturer before configuration.

There are two methods to enable Deco EasyMesh:

Note: 

1. Some advanced functions might not be available when Deco works as an EasyMesh extender, such as network dial-up, HomeShield/Parental Controls/QoS, etc.

2. When "Add a Deco to the existing EasyMesh Network", Deco's original network will be reset and all data will be cleared. It will copy the network settings from the EasyMesh network and will adopt its network name and password. You may need to manually connect your phone/tablet to the new EasyMesh Wi-Fi.
