Model: Deco E4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Dear community,

 

Since I have installed my TP link deco E4 set my Raspberry Pi which is wired to my main router also uses the TP link network.

 

Is there a way to force this device to use my 'initial' network instead of the TP link network?

 

Because somehow my Wireguard client on the raspberry pi is not accessible anymore. Also tried opening the ports (more -> advanced -> port forwarding) 51820 and disabled this setting on my router's interface/  kept them open at the same time but none of these actions result in a working Wireguard client.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, welcome to the community.

Have you tried to set up Deco into Access Point mode so that all the LAN devices will get IP addresses from the ISP router:

Hi @David-TP,

 

Thanks a lot! This works. Now I can enjoy fast internet everywhere in the house and still use the raspberry. :)

 

Kind regards,

Mike
