Model: Deco BE65  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version:

I don't have a fixed internet line at home and I want to use my phone hotspot to connect to my Deco BE65, so the Deco creates a wifi network connecting to my phone hotspot so that I can use connect other devices to the Deco wifi network.

 

The phone generating the hotspot is an iphone 14 Pro Max. The network provider is Three in the UK. 

 

I have gone through the online instructions to set up my Deco on Ap mode and reset it. Unfortunately after the Deco restarting, I don't get the 'More' menu on my app because the restart of the Deco deletes the network and ask me to configure my Deco network again.

 

The Deco stays with a red light from that point. The only way out it to reset it physically with a pin. That eventually gets the Deco discoverable by the app but it doesn't connect to my hotspot to create the wifi network from it. 

 

Can someone help, please. Thanks!

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

Deco BE65 can't wirelessly connect to the mobile hotspot. For a few Deco models, like Deco X50_V1, it supports "Internet backup>hotspot" but the mobile hotspot still works as a temporary backup solution. The current firmware of Deco BE65 doesn't support this feature yet.

I think other than Deco BE65, a Deco 5G gateway, like Deco BE65-5G is more suitable for your case. So you can insert a Three SIM directly into Deco BE65-5G.
