If you watch the youtube video post, that should get to where you want. VLAN is at the Advanced setting. Look for IPTV/VLAN.

honestly, this thread helped me in more ways that tplink own support team, their forum and website. utter useless.

Hi…currently I am using router which come with Unifi package model tplink Archer C1200 n I have bought 2pcs of deco m5.

So, I am wondering is it possible to set these 3 : C1200 + 2pcs of M5 with same SSID?

N may I know what’s the best configuration with these equipment?is it better to use deco only instead of mixing these 2 equipments?

Thanks

Use only deco better.

Noted…thanks for yr suggestion

But b4 u get another set of deco, is it possible for me to set it up for same SSID for these 3 connection point?

Yes, it is possible, but you would not want to do that because it is better for the whole network in your home to be Deco only.

sorry..i may have installed mine differently then..meaning i dont need to use the modem provided by unify and use my deco as the modem and mesh?

Suggest you just store the stock router in the cupboard. Use deco alone. If not enough coverage, buy more deco nodes. Try to connect all via Ethernet backhaul. If can’t, wireless also ok. All will use single SSID.

Edit.

Modem = white device without antenna that must be retained.
Router = with antenna. Usually TPLink or Dlink. Can throw aside.

Modem usually Huawei / ZTE or FibreHome branded (some older areas may have Nokia Alacatel Lucent or something)

Router is TP-Link, D-Link, Aztech or some other brands.

I tried this and removed my tm.tplink router but cannot get internet signal from my deco ...is there a particular setting I need to set on the deco app to recognize unify ? Spent hours ..simply doesnt work ..when connect back router instantly have wifi connection.. appreciate your help

Need to setting VLAN using UNIFI profile. Try to refer to this video. https://fb.watch/7JnjjJ4Rr-/

Omg...this is way to complicated for me ..thanks for sharing though

I have this same issue with both my canon printers. In the end i got them to connect via WPS

I have done to have my whole network to be Deco only…everything is fine except I can’t access my cctv from mobile phone…anyone faced this problem b4?

You configured port forwarding correctly?

Port forwarding to be configured in Deco app?

May I know how can it be done?

Thanks

May I know how to get the number of internal n external port?

You can see here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/98900

You need to check if your CCTV is configured as port forwarding or cloud. If port forwarding, you need to port forward on your Deco. If cloud, it could be another issue altogether and you need to contact your CCTV guy.

No offence, why still people buying AC1300 Mesh?
Learned many users, when come to upgrade router most of them are on AX but when come to Mesh, why still seeing many buy AC1200 / AC1300?
Worst still some buying Deco E4 which only come with 10/100 Mbps Ports.

Please share your thoughts.....thank you thank you....maybe something I can learn on from all sifu here.

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of Deco X20, which I will either link with my existing Archer C7 v5 or use it directly with the BTU .
Will need to find a way to use a smart switch to get more Ethernet ports and keep iptv access with Unifi.

Better u buy Deco M9+ rather than X20. Triple channel & faster.
Afterall, many unifi owner sell it cheap.

X90>X60>M9>X20>M5
