I'm setting the M5 as access point (BTU - router - M5 deco) but it doesn't connect to internet. i get error message of "IP address obtained but no internet access".

For the deco I'm using dynamic IP connection and disable VLAN. Any sifu can help on this? Have tried dynamic IP and enable VLAN but still doesn't work, with same error message and the deco LED is solid red.

Try replug Deco M5 to LAN port 2 or 3 of your existing router.

It's the best if you could directly replace your existing router with Deco M5

I managed to solve this issue by changing the mode for deco in the app to router mode, despite my set up is still access point mode.

Connection type in deco is Dynamic IP, disable VLAN.

I used deco as access point rather than direct to BTU because there is not enough LAN port in deco.
