Hi , Can someone help me with this ?

Currently I have a router with mac filtering function. I already connect the DECO E4 Main,

but when I trying to add the second DECO it's always failed.

But in Router Mode it's running perfectly.

 

Is there anyone can explain this to me ?

 

Thank you very much.

Hi, When Deco E4 works in router mode, only the main Deco will obtain an IP address from the ISP router. But in AP mode, both units will get IP addresses from the ISP router.

Have you tried to temporarily disable the MAC Filtering or also add the MAC address of the satellite E4 to the Allow List?

 

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.

Hi ! Thank you for your support. There is no MAC Filtering in AP mode and I already disable it when I start setting up. The first one I tried is to Setup the main DECO E4 in Router mode and connect other 2 E4. It's working but I don't have a security. So I switch the Main E4 to AP mode, then the other 2 E4 disconnected, all 3 E4 mac address is registered in the ISP Router. Right now I can't see mac filtering settings in AP mode, the only settings that showing are 1. Operation Mode 2. Smart DHCP - Disabled ( I tried to Enable this but still no connection to others.) 3. Fast Roaming - Disabled 4. Beamforming - Enabled Thank you again.
