Deco mesh m4
Hello,
is it possible to use a deco mesh m4 cube as an wifi-extender on the camping?
my plan is to connect the m4 with my laptop. I probably need some adapter-cable with a usb-connector on one site.The laptop makes connection with the wi-fi signal of the camping. Is this a realistic idea?

Hey
Sadly no this wont work, however there are devices for this specific purpose..
What you are after is the tp link travel router (AC750). This device works like a home router, so you connect your laptop to its WiFi, you can then share the sites wifi.. Let me explain
Connect laptop to the Travel Routers WiFi or plug in LAN cable
Go to 192.168.0.1 or whatever the router is set as.. log into the web interface
In there, you can scan for WiFi and connect to the camping sites WiFi.
It will now share that connection to all devices
So if you have 5x devices connected to teh travel router, they are all using the site WiFi. Used this device a few times.

To find the router IP its easy.. two ways to do it.
1. Its likely printed on the device label, will say something like 192.168.0.1 login ADMIN ADMIN. Thats what you are looking for. When plugged into / connected via WiFi to the device just go to 192.168.0.1 or whatever it is via a browser (Chrome or edge, something like that)
2. On a laptop running windows if you right click on the start menu button and choose RUN
type CMD and press OK. This will open command prompt
If you type IPCONFIG and press return, it will tell you the routers address as shown below. Its called default gateway. In my case its 192.168.50.1 it will be different for you. Put this into the browser and bingo
