Correct setup? And how to connect Deco M4 to the home phone.
Hi everybody,
I’m a IT noob and after a couple of hours searching google, youtube and these forums have had no success (mainly due to terminology) finding answers to two questions I have.
I just purchased the TP-Link Deco M4 Mesh WLAN Set. I set it up by following the app instructions and plugging it into a DSL splitter (aka DSL filter. See attached image.) in the wall. I assumed the splitter is a sort of a modem(?). The installation worked and the wlan internet works smoothly on all devices and everything appears to be fine.
My questions:
1. Is my setup correct the way it is (Deco M4 conntected to a wall DSL splitter)? Or do I need to use my old router between the splitter and Deco? This would seem weird because I then have two wlan networks I believe.
2. And how do I connect my home phone? I have an adapter for the TAE connector, so I could plug it into the Deco M4, which I did, but with no success.
It is worth noting I live in Germany, therefore the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAE_connector
Thank you for your time!
Best regards,
Richard
