Help with Deco X50-outdoor
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi. I just bought a Deco X50-outdoor to place near our gate to improve the Wi-Fi connection of my tplink tapo D235 doorbell.
The power cable is too short for the deco x50 to be mounted on a pole. I was thinking of adding a poe+ switch to remedy this. I would also like a wired connection for my x50 and I'm not sure how I'd do this.
My questions are:
1. What model of tplink poe+ switch should I buy?
2. Does the poe+ switch need to be connected to my main deco (XE75)?
3. For an Ethernet backhaul, can i connect my x50 to the nearest XE75 via Ethernet cable?
Any suggestions that would help me do these are most welcome.
Thanks for those who'll help. Btw, I am not a very techy person but I know I can do this with your guidance.
@David-TP thanks again. I just want to be sure that I understand this correctly before I buy the injector and Ethernet cable.
Here's my current network map. The xe75 (veranda) is connected via wifi to my main deco (bedroom). For wired backhaul for my front yard x50-outdoor, I would connect the poe injector to both the veranda xe75 and front yard x50-outdoor, right?
Thanks so much.
