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

Thanks David for updating the community despite being in the late Q4 of 2024, usually I notice TP-Link only releases big major improvement during mid of the year. but this has changed my perception of it. 

Will definitely give this version a try out as they finally implemented DoH and DoT.

This is a great news for Deco users. Will other Deco models especially the BE series (BE65, BE85 etc) receive DoT & DoH support too?

Tried that, it looks like the problem with Deco app and devices not showing where are connected ( deco app shows those devices as connected to other) remains with fing enabled or disabled. PPPoE disconnects more often (once per day ) but this problem maybe temporarily

  @David-TP Are this features coming to Deco x60 V3? Especially the 20 Mhz/40 Mhz channel width selection. Also how will this feature work if i have 3 deco x50 with 3 deco e4? Will e4s also shift 2.4 Ghz to 20 Mhz channel width?

  @David-TP 

after 1 day upgrading in to this firmware problems arises .

Devices went to "other" connection status, PPPoE connections showed as connected but the internet was lagging , WiFi (5Ghz) was full but no connection to internet , tried ping 192.168.68.1 with timeouts . Restarting didn't do anything good.

Too many issues to stay on this one, had to revert back to 1.6.0 release 61500 (20240801). 
back to normal.

Hi, It is planned to roll out the similar firmware for other models. However, the ETA is unclear for a specific model.

"Also how will this feature work if i have 3 deco x50 with 3 deco e4? Will e4s also shift 2.4 Ghz to 20 Mhz channel width?"

- I think it should depend on the main Deco. Then the satellite Deco will follow the settings.

Thank you and best regards.
