Improve Powerline Backhaul on Deco P9
Deco P9 is known for the HomePlug AV/AV2 Powerline Backhaul. So it is widely used in properties that are separated by thick concrete walls, or the wireless clients are centrally located in a certain area that is far from the ISP modem. It is very important to have a strong Powerline signal in order to create a stable and fast network.
On The Deco APP, you could check the Mesh Backhaul type here:
Powerline Backhaul doesn't need to be turned on by any hardware or software switch, and it takes effect automatically as long as:
- Two or more Deco P9s under the same electric service panel.
- Deco P9 is set up as the main Deco.
Here are some suggestions to have a strong Powerline signal:
- Powerline works under different electric circuits but the speed and stability would be improved if they are plugged under the same electric circuit.
- The nearby Home Appliances, like Washing Machines, Micro Oven could cause electric interference and please try to move P9 away from these high-power devices.
- A surge protector would filter out high-frequency electromagnetic signals which would also interfere with the Powerline communication. Please do not plug P9 into a surge protector.
