Hi everyone,

I want to completely rebuild my home network and set up a WiFi mesh with 3 Deco XE75 units. Since I also need multiple wired ethernet ports in several rooms, I will also be using network switches.

Would this be the correct setup for the best possible wireless + wired connection? Or should I connect things differently? Also, any tips or things I should definitely not forget during installation are welcome.

                                         │
[Master Deco in Garage (next to modem – Deco 1)]
                                        │
                                  [Switch]
┌────────────────────┬────────────────────────┐
[Gamingroom (Deco 2)]         [Desk (Deco 3)]                             [Mancave (Deco 4)]
│                                                    │                                                              │
[Switch]                                   [Switch]                                                   [Switch]
│                                                    │                                                              │
Desktop/TV                        Desktop/Other Smart                                 TV/Other


 

 

All Deco's will be wired in this scenario. Possible scenario is that I'll only have 3 Deco's though and use a switch to a switch instead of a Deco in my gaming room.

Is this setup ideal? In a very need of good info of the setup, so I don't break anything of the current wifi.

So your set-up should work the only issue i see is not all switches work with the deco ethernet backhaul so you might also need to replace the 4 switches if you already have them.

 

Here is a list of tp-link switches that work with ethernet backhaul - https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/all-soho-switch/#c-5-port-switches

 

Just FYI I'm not sure if you can go deco > switch one > switch two never tried it before 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1
