Model: Deco S4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hi! 

 

Tomorrow I'm trading Starlink for fiber! YAY.

I have a 3 piece Deco S4 system and haven't used it much because Starlink has its own router. 

I understand that I will need to provide my own router for this new provider (unless I want to pay a monthly fee for their router).

 

I am wondering if this S4 System can be combined with:

 

1) a different series of Deco, or

2) any TP-link mesh model, or

3) any manufacturer?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi, Deco could be combined with a different series of Deco. So far, they could not create a Mesh network with other TP-Link EasyMesh or OneMesh models.

Can different Deco models work together?

 

In case you need more details about Starlink setup, the following post would be very helpful:

Best regards.

You do not describe why you cannot simply use your three existing Deco, configuring one as a "modem".

 

I am using a Deco P9 as a "modem".  It is connected by Ethernet to a fiber "end point", and is configured as a router, using PPPoE to connect to Internet.  In other words, the P9 is compatible with my fiber provider.

 

I do not know if the S4 is compatible with the requirements of your fiber provider, but it is perhaps worth checking.
