Model: Deco X20-DSL  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.4

Hello,

 

I have my network set up in the following manner but Im strugling to get internet access through one of my Deco's. I live in a old thick walled farmhouse so wireless networking is very difficult. I have therefore tried to get some backhaul working through my power cables. I have been semi-sucessful as my main network is working in the configuration but not my Guest network.

 

  1. I have a DSL line, 100Meg.
  2. DSL connects to a Deco X20-DSL
  3. I have 2 Deco M5's connecting to my Deco X20-DSL wirelessly downstairs.
  4. I then cable my Deco X20-DSL into a Passthough Powerline TP-Link TL-PA9030P kit to my second floor.
  5. On the second floor, I come out the Powerline, cabled into a Deco M9 Plus.
  6. I have therefore created a backhaul using Powerline, well I hope I have.

 

I am able to get intenet wirelessly upstairs when connected to my main wifi but when I change over to my guest network I can connect to the Guest network but there is no intenet.

 

In the App, my GuestNet now has a VLAN ID of 591 and Ive read up that a VLAN needs to be configured on my router but I cannot see any options on my Deco X20-DSL.

 

An addiiotnal problem I have it that on my Deco app, I can see data on whos connected to my M5's but not for my M9 Plus.

 

Any assistence apprecaited.

 

Regards

 

Ian

  @IanE2 

Thank you very much for the feedback.

It seems like the Ethernet Backhaul created via powerline adapters, not network switches might have some issue with the tagged guest network packets.

I am checking with the senior engineers now and will update here at once if there is any further news.

Thank you.

Best Regards.

  @David-TP Thanks for responding, I agree. I have been able to solve part of my problem, but the smaller part. I replaced both M5's with M9 Plus, then  I used the update tool to update the M 9's to the latest software. The result was that I can now see where the Deco's are getting their source and the Power line back haul is working as I had hoped.

 

This still leaves the Guest network only working when downstairs, ie receiving signal from the Mesh from Deco's pre-power line and not working from signals form a Deco post Power line signal.

 

Hopefully TP-Link will take the time to consider my problem and give some advice.

 

Cheers

 

Ian

  @IanE2 

Thank you very much for your time and patience.

The powerline adapters would transfer the tagged VLAN data.

The issue might be somewhere else and there is a beta firmware available for test.

Please refer to the private message to install the beta firmware and check whether it could fix the current issue.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
