New Release How to add an EasyMesh device to Deco network
This Article Applied to:
Wi-Fi Routers that support EasyMesh
Range Extenders that support EasyMesh
Decos that support EasyMesh
Recently, certain Deco models, such as Deco X50/X55 V1.2 have begun rolling out new software updates to support EasyMesh. This feature allows you to connect Deco devices with other EasyMesh-compatible routers or extenders from the same or different brands, creating a united mesh network that extends Wi-Fi coverage.
EasyMesh Configuration Guide
Before you start:
1. Please ensure the routers or extenders you plan to add support EasyMesh. Firmware upgrades may be required for certain models. Please check the user manual or ask the manufacturer before configuration.

2. Check for firmware updates and release notes to confirm which Deco models support EasyMesh. You may find similar notes like the below:
Two typical network layouts when connecting EasyMesh routers or extenders with a Deco network:
Method 1: Adding EasyMesh routers or extenders to an existing Deco network.
Method 2: Adding Deco to an existing EasyMesh network.
Note:
1. Some advanced functions might not be available when Deco works as an EasyMesh extender, such as network dial-up, HomeShield/Parental Controls/QoS, etc.
2. When "Add a Deco to the existing EasyMesh Network", Deco's original network will be reset and all data will be cleared. It will copy the network settings from the EasyMesh network and will adopt its network name and password. You may need to manually connect your phone/tablet to the new EasyMesh Wi-Fi.

Hi, thanks for the update.
I'm afraid the PGW2440 KIT will not be part of the Deco Mesh. The devices connected to the WiFi of the powerline adapters are in the same IP segment and get IP addresses from Deco X50-5G as Deco connected clients. But there might still be a noticeable delay when moving from powerline adapters to Deco.
Best regards.

Hi @Kevin_Z,
Ok, I was expecting that. But if instead a Deco X50-5G I use a Deco X50 or X55, I will be able to able to add an EasyMesh powerline to my Deco network following the tutorial below, right?

Any chance that other devices will be supported in the foreseeable future?
I have a full Deco system with P7, a full system with BE25 and a full system with BE65, the last one is currently active with an additional X50 outdoor unit.
I recently purchased a BE550 router so I can implement Easymesh any time.
Given the opportunity I am willing to support and test alpha or beta firmwares.
(I originate from IT, now retired living in Thailand, with Cisco and Microsoft certifications. So I have lots of time to do some testing and I have sufficient backup systems should anything be rendered broken.)
Cheers, Peter
