Should i disable 2.4ghz and how wireless backhaul connect each deco m5 node? Can this 5ghz use for multiple user in house?

No need to do anything special, the Deco M5 works well by default.

Of course it support multiple users.

Been using for 2 days now. Both deco is quite hot ya. Hotter than my standard unifi router. is it normal?

Yea, that's totally normal and it will not impact performance.

TP-Link is really trying to make it compact by squeezing a lot of things in a small package.

Hello, Im planning to buy this mesh system and looking to see what would the best setup be?

Current setup: Unifi router connection have 1 connection to HyppTV, 1 connection to the Unifi Modem and 1 connection to CCTV

If I buy this mesh, whats the best way to connect. Should i directly connect the mesh m5 from the Unifi router and leave the hypptv and cctv at default, or should i make the Deco M5 to dial PPoE but then how would i setup the HyppTV and cctv considering theres only 2 ports.

I could think of getting a switch to expand it however, normal switches wont be able to assign VLAN tagging and stuff. Kindly advice

Hi, i managed to setup 2 Deco M5, [main] at living hall and [extended] at study room. It was working fine on that day

After few hours, the extended Deco M5 (at study room) turn into yellow light. I tried to reset this unit, delete both main and extended profile, download updated firmware, press the [Reset] button; but still the extended unit still stuck at yellow light.

Anyone encounter this issue before?

Hi I'm currently using TPLink MR200 4G LTE modem and using Yoodo as my simcard data.

Question:
Does Deco Mesh M4/M5 works if I'm using 4G LTE connection as my wifi? Or Deco Mesh only works with Home Fibre Broadband.

Appreciate & thanks for your help.

Yes you may. Connect deco M5 to your MR200 LAN port and set it as access point mode will do.

Do you have faulty adapter? Try if other adapter works or not?

so meaning that there's no way to hook up the unused port of the main DECO unit to a switch(managed with the proper VLANs 500 for internet traffic and 600 for IPTV traffic)..correct?

Hi cnks,
I'm having the same issue. Just setup Deco M9 yesterday and exactly same problem. Had you found a solution?

Anyone can help here? Enabled VLAN, IPTV.

Thanks,
shirley.

Hi there. Unfortunately no. I have sent in a feedback to TP-Link Customer Support as well but have not gotten any reply yet too.

Unfortunetely unable to downgrade the firmware.
"Upgrade failed. Please select the latest version of firmware to upgrade."


I also tried setting this manually, with only Internet VLAN and disable IPTV VLAN but it won't connect to the Internet.

Anyone found a solution to this?

it wont connect to internet if we disable IPTV VLAN?

I have use custome vlan 500 internet. But sad if i van setup second m5 deco to vlan 600 for second port will be great.

Same here.. i tried to connect to hypptv and its not working.. anyonr have solutions yet?

Sifu.. another problem arise. When my smart tv sony connect to m5, it says wifi no Internet access? I cannot even cast to my tv? Any solution for this?

Have you found a solution to this yet? Thinking of M4 or M5 at the moment.

Hi guys.

Currently on Time Broadband 500Mbps, with Router Dlink DIR 850L, condo size 1900sqft.

If I change the router to deco M5 1 pack can solve weak wifi in the farthest corner?

Most of the time can only get around 5-15Mbps with a range extender.

Set the VLAN/IPTV mode as “Custom” instead of “Malaysia-TM Unifi”; put in the internet VLAN ID as 500, priority 0; and tick the 802.1Q Tag. You need to disable the IPTV VLAN button at the bottom.
Anyone knows if this really works?
