Model: Deco P9  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi. I am new to the mesh


Please validate if this will work. I have read the default support link fyi


Option 1:

router (wifi off) --> main deco

 

main deco --> slave1 (wifi connection in bedroom)

 

main deco --> (wired down the wall socket) to switch

Under staircase Netgear gs108 --> wire down the wall to living room socket --> slave 2 (wired)

 

 

Option 2:

 

router (wifi off) --> main deco

 

main deco --> slave1 (wifi connection in bedroom )

 

router (wifi off) --> wired down the wall socket) to switch

Under staircase Netgear gs108 --> wire down the wall to living room socket --> slave 2 (wired)

 

 

Please note

 

router and main deco @ Level/floor 3

slave 1 @ Level/floor 2

slave 2 @ Level/floor 1

 

by way what is the difference in router and ap mode. What are the  advantages?

Hi, for Option 1, the Deco could work both on wireless router and access point mode;

For Option 2, it needs to be on the access point;

As for the difference between router and access point, I suppose that you have seen the following link already:

Thank you very much.

I have option 1. setup and seems the ethernet backhaul is not working between main deco -> switch -> to slave 2

 

Therefore  all device on the switch are not getting data. 
 

 

Please advice.

Hi, did the current network map is like the following connection:

ISP router(Wi-Fi off)---main Deco---(WiFi)-----slave Deco 1

                                             \___   Netgear GS108---(cable)--slave Deco 2

 

The Ethernet backhaul of Deco is based on the standard IEEE 1905.1 protocol and have you checked whether the GS108 supported standard IEEE 1905.1 protocol or not?

 

If possible, could you please unplug the slave Deco 2, and check whether the other devices connected to the switch could get internet service?

 

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.

@TP-Link 

 

I did the test and the other devices are getting the network on the switch. Also, seems to have got it  working with option 1. I have included the screen shots. I think its working as option 1??

Hi, yes, currently, the second satellite living room Deco is on the Ethernet backhaul and the first satellite Deco is on the PLC and wireless backhaul;

And they are working properly on the option 1.

Thank you very much.
