Dear all

I bought the new Deco M4 AC1200, and I faced a problem installing its Ethernet, as the cat6 requires 8 wires to be installed but when i cut the wire off i found it only have 6 wires with different colors (eg. cat6 requires a brown wire, my wire is green)

does anybody have an idea on how to fix this issue ?

Any other ideas beside replacing the cable? 

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

Hi, the Cat 5E cable is also capable of 1 Gbps. Maybe the Ethernet cable in the package is not a standard Cat 6 cable.

Would you run into any issues if you connected the main Deco M4 via your own Cat 6 cable to the ISP modem/gateway?

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
