Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.6.0 Build 20230720 Rel 31991

Can anyone help a very non-technical girl out? How do I set up my Deco mesh system with a modem, powerline adapter and ATA box. I had it all working for about 24 hours and then it just stopped. Deco went red but my internet wasn't down or anything. In my frustration I started mucking about with all the cables and now I don't remember how I had set up in the first place. Help please!! A diagram would be super helpful =)

Hi, can I also have the model numbers of your modem, powerline adapter as well as the ATA box?

Take Cisco 191 ATA  for example, the network diagram is usually like:

Internet modem----<Ethernet cable>---main Deco M4----<Ethernet cable>---ATA box----<phone cable>---Landline phone

 

If the ATA box is far away from the main Deco M4, the powerline adapters could be used to extend the network, such as:

Internet modem----<Ethernet cable>---main Deco M4----<Ethernet cable>---master powerline adapter~~~~(electric wiring system)~~~~~extended power line adapter-----<Ethernet cable>-------ATA box----<phone cable>---Landline phone

 

Thank you very much.

Best regards.
