Deco Internet Backup Feature Guide
Internet Backup keeps the Deco Mesh system always online by switching to a backup network when the original ISP network is disconnected to ensure constant internet access. There are 3 backup modes available and only one mode can be enabled at a time.
How to enable Internet Backup
- Open your Deco app, and go to More > Advanced >Internet Backup.
- or Go to More > Internet Connection > Internet Backup.
Hotspot Backup Mode
Allow Deco to connect to a hotspot backup network wirelessly, like your mobile hotspot, or other secured wireless networks nearby.
How to enable Hotspot Backup Mode
1. Set a fixed WAN port
2. Select a nearby hotspot for network backup.
3. (Optional) Edit the Advanced Hotspot Backup settings
- Add multiple wireless networks to the Hotspot List.
- Set Speed Limit and Access Permission.
Both 4G/5G Backup and Hybrid Mesh Backup Modes require having an extra Deco 4G/5G model in the Mesh system, such as Deco X50-5G.
4G/5G Backup Mode
The Deco 4G/5G model is set as the main Deco and works in wireless router mode. Actually, this Internet Backup method is not dedicated to the Deco X50/X55_1.6.0 firmware and many Deco 4G/5G routers already support this feature.
For more details, please refer to How to set up 3G/4G or 4G/5G Backup on Deco router.
Hybrid Mesh Backup Mode
The Deco 4G/5G model is set as the satellite Deco and works in wireless router mode. It is very useful when Deco X50 is the main Deco and Deco X50-5G is added as the satellite unit. After the primary network is restored, Deco will automatically switch back to the ISP cable service.
How to enable Hybrid Mesh Backup Mode
1. Set a fixed WAN port under More > Advanced > WAN Port.
2. Configure 4G/5G Backup settings

Hi, the EU and US versions used the same 1.6.0 beta download link. During the firmware upgrade, the hardware will automatically abstract the correct bin file according to the embedded region code.
Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP Internet-backup is indeed wonderful and long-awaited feature! But it would be even more cool, if it would be possible to use another WAN port as backup too: set up primary WAN port and secondary, if internet on primary becomes unavailable auto-switch to secondary WAN port, would that be possible to implement? Thank you!

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.
I'm afraid it hasn't been planned yet. You could start a new feature request post here so other users could vote here to add more support.
Best regards.
