Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.5.3

I connected my Deco M5 kit in router mode and with ethernet backhaul and it is working great!, but when I tried to wire my computer with the unit in my room, couldnt get it to work, what do I need to do?

Usually all it takes is connect device by Ethernet cable to Deco, and it'll work. 

 

Two common scenario when it does not:

 

1. You have IPTV enabled and trying to connect computer to Deco Ethernet port with IPTV. Either connect computer to different Deco Ethernet port, or disable IPTV.  More about IPTV is here: How to Configure IPTV function on Deco?

 

2. Your computer has static IP address configured in it. The solution would be to make it request IP address dynamically.
