Model: Deco X10  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 20231221 Rel. 42276

Hi there!

I recently bought the Deco X10 in a 3pack set, after hearing alot of positive information surrounding it to extend my network.

 

However, none of the Deco X10 units seem to be able to connect to the internet. I installed the app and followed the guide on the app exactly as specified on all 3 deco devices, but none of them seem to be able to connect to the internet. 

 

A few notes

 

  • My internet connection is a fiber connection.
  • My connection type is PPPoE
  • My internet service provider is Mweb
  • My router is a tp link archer AX53 | AX3000 (https://www.tp-link.com/za/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax53/)
  • My router does in fact have internet access

 

The error im getting is:

 

Ive contacted my ISP multiple times and they say that everything is working on their side and they are unable to provide assistance to me. 

Also, the fact that all 3 decos dont seem to work, means that the issue is with my current setup, but i cant seem to find a proper error or a good solution to this. I must be missing something somewhere along the configuration of either the routers or the deco devices.

 

Ive tried:

 

  • Setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
  • MAC Cloning

 

Any assistance will be appreciated!

So the AX53 is connected to your fibre ONT and is also connected via PPPoE?
 

Then your Deco should be in access point mode. On Deco app go to "more", "advanced" then "operation mode" and change to access point mode.

 

If you want the Deco to be in router mode then I suggest removing the AX53 and connect Deco direct to fibre ONT with PPPoE details.

Ah thank you so much @klipse!

I knew i was missing something!

I think why i was confused, was that the setup was assuming i wanted to go straight to using the units as my primary router and not as an extender. 

 

But thanks!

It works perfectly now :)
