Hello, I have the following case study with Deco S4 V2.
I have a building where I want to work with the Deco Mesh system, but since I have a master server and it gives out IP addresses, I need to stop all kinds of DHCP servers on all devices from giving out IPs. The decos are put into accurate access mode, but I can neither find the Smart DHCP option nor can I set static IP addresses to each device separately on their LAN port.

The building is 7 floors and I need to put 3 devices on each floor and they work in Mesh as in no way they give out IP addresses in any mode of operation, even Smart DHCP is not necessary because it drives the whole thing crazy system!!!!
 

Does the TP-Link team intend to allow more advanced users of the brand to manage their devices better or will we have to trust another brand for what we need. After TP-Link has been tested by us, we like it and are happy with how they work so far.

Hi,

 

Do you mean that you have set up Deco in Access Point mode?

In AP mode, DHCP mode is disabled.

If you want to make advanced settings like IP&MAC binding, please do it with your main router.

 

What’s the difference between Access Point mode and Router mode on the Deco?
