Frequent Asked Questions
1. How to set up Deco? Watch video
Make sure your Android or iOS device has access to the internet through cellular data or Wi-Fi, then follow these steps:
1) Download the Deco App from the App Store or Google Play.
2) Sign up for a TP-Link ID (email) in the Deco App.
3) Follow the instructions in the App to set up your primary Deco unit.
4) Continue following the instructions to add additional Deco units to your network.
5) Connect your wireless devices to your Deco network and enjoy it!
2. Does Deco support Access Point mode?
The latest firmware for Deco has supported Access Point mode. Please update your Deco and enjoy this feature.
The main Deco (first one setup) will work in Router mode by default after setup, you can switch the working mode into Access Point mode as need. The other two Deco units will extend the Deco network from the main unit, via both wireless or wired connection (Ethernet Backhaul).
How to set up Deco to work in Access Point mode?
Note: In AP mode, any router features will be non-configurable (including Parental Controls, Antivirus, Port Forwarding, Address Reservation, and QoS, etc), as all the IP addresses are assigned and controlled by the root router (not Deco).
3. Can I change the IP range of Deco? Can I change it to another subnet?
The default LAN IP of the main Deco unit is 192.168.0.1, and the default DHCP range is 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199.
Deco will detect the IP conflict with the front-end modem or router. For example, if the front-end router has the LAN IP address of 192.168.0.1, then Deco will change its own IP range to 192.168.1.x.
Currently Deco M5/P7/M9 Plus has the option to change the LAN IP settings. For other Deco models, this feature will come soon in future updates.
4. How many devices can be connected to a Deco network?
The number of client devices that can be connected at once depends on the type of devices connected and the usage mix of those devices.
The Deco system supports to connect over 100 devices in homes with a mix of IoT products, smart TVs, smartphones, tablets and peripherals, such as wireless printers.
5. What can I do if I forget my password?
If you forget your Wi-Fi password
Launch the Deco app, tap "More" in the bottom right corner, then tap the "Wi-Fi" option. Then you will be able to view or change the current Wi-Fi password.
If you forget your login password of Deco app

Hello,
I seem to have a hard time finding how many deco devices can be connected together. Somewhere I have read, that there is a maximum of ten. The Deco E4 have that statement.
But how about the Deco M5, M9 and M9 Plus? I seem to be unable to find the limit for these?
I have a large network of 10x M9 Plus, apart from a problem in another thread, I would need to connect two more to fully cover the building. I do not want to buy them just to return them afterwards.
Thank you,
Marek

@TP-Link Deco
I was nit asking about the maximum number connected to the deco. But the maximum amount of deco units connected to each other. As described, the E4 has this stated. The Deco M9, M9 Plus and M5 do not.
I am starting to get very tired of such support, given how many units a have bought and I cant get a straight answer from tp-link for such a basic question.
Not to mention the bad decisions made in the firmware of Deco M9 Plus, due to which I can not use them now for months!
TP-Link, please get someone to answer this simple question...
Thank you

@TP-Link Deco Hopefully a firmware update makes this more reliable with only ethernet backhaul, but for now it seems you must connect wirelessly first.
