Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello,

is it possible to set up a mesh with the Decos in combination with my MR600 (LTE) router?

Or is the only way to connect one of the Decos to the LTE router by cable and turn off the WiFi on it?

 

I have:

One Archer MR600

Set of three Deco M4

One repeater RE655

 

I would like to set up a wifi network including all this devices. I thought ideally a mesh.

Now I'm at a loss because the Deco M4 instructions say to connect one of the Deco M4s to the router/modem by cable.

When I bought them, I believed that they could be integrated into a mesh.

I hope that this does not only apply to a mesh of the Decos with each other.

 

Thanks for the support

Hi, Thanks for your time and patience.

It is not available to mesh between Deco M4 and Archer MR600.

You could have a look at this link:

TP-Link Omada Mesh VS Deco Mesh VS OneMesh™: What's the Difference?

 

For the Deco series, we also have Deco_4G/5G models. For example, the combination of Deco X20-4G/Deco X50-5G+other Deco units, like Deco M4.

Best regards.

  @Emilerdbeer not possbile. I have a MR600 too. They will make you buy Deco units like X20-4G and X50-4G (which I did) and then WILL NOT PROVIDE up-to-date firmware updates to keep them on par with other Deco units such as X50 and the very recently released models.

 

Just do a quick search and you can see all the complaints about unfair firmware rollouts as well as abandoned models that have not been updated for years.
