Model: Deco XE5300  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I just got this today. The app seems to be terrible unless my system is just broken. I'm coming from Asus mesh (ax11000 router with two satellite ls). 

 

This app gets all the way to "testing Internet connection" then says there's no Internet. Yet, I can connect to the network on the device. 

 

Another issue, there's no "main" unit. There's no clearly defined LAN port. It looks like three nodes in a box without a router. 

 

The setup manual is useless, it says download the app. I have to be missing something. This is a terrible first TP link experience.

The units are identical, you can use any as main unit.

You can use any Ethernet port for WAN, the Deco will detect if it is used for WAN or for LAN.

Turn them all off. Then hold in the reset button and power one on only - the one with internet connected to it. If you want it to be an access point, instead of a router, make you specify that when asks for connection type.


Once you have internet working through it, then power on and add the other decos.
