Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 2.03

With a disparate Deco mesh consisting of 2 x X50, 2 x M5 & 1 x X20 4G, my client lives rurally, no fibre available. Currently using a single 4G modem to provide internet to the mesh.

 

He wants to improve his connection by adding another 4G modem, running parallel to the existing 4G modem. My thinking is that we need a small load-balancing router connected to both modems & one of the X50. Is that the way to do this? Which router would be recommended?

 

Or do both X50 get a router each & leave it to TP-Link to balance out demand?

Hi, welcome to the community.

I noticed the firmware version you have selected is "2.0.3". Is the Deco X50 provided by your internet service provider?

 

Deco X20-4G supports Ethernet Connection with 4G Backup.

I think you can test whether the following layout works:

The single 4G modem----<Ethernet> Deco X20-4G(wireless router mode with 4G Backup), other Deco units(Deco X50 and Deco M5) all working as satellite Mesh units.

How to set up 3G/4G or 4G/5G Backup on Deco router

 

Best regards.
