Bridge mode for TL-WR841N when working with Deco M4
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi All,
I'm contemplating getting the Deco M4 Mesh system and currently have a TL-WR841N modem/router combo as all in one router/wifi ap.
The FAQs for the Deco M4 mesh recommend putting the modem/router combo into Bridge mode when connecting to the main M4 node. However I'm struggling to see a "Bridge Mode" option in the UI for the TL-WR841N so is this really just a combination of configuration changes i.e disable DHCP + plus other changes?
Many thanks
Are you sure this is the right model? According to TP-Link Web site, TL-WR841N is just basic general purpose WiFi router, and its specs are a little bit outdated. It will need connection to a modem to provide your house with the Internet.
It would make sense to retire TL-WR841N, make Deco M4 router for your home (which is its default mode) and connect Main Deco M4 (the first you'll configure) to where TL-WR841N is now connected with its WAN (blue color) port.
This is your TL-WR841N, right?
