Powerline connection protocol

2019-09-01 14:57:21 - last edited 2019-09-01 14:58:37

Model: Deco P7

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I just moved into a rather large home with some pretty weird wiring decisions. Some of the decos that I'd like to have powerline support usually do, but interference (when I'm busy at the home) seems to make them go wifi. When using powerline, do the deco p7s all communicate directly back to the main deco or do they find a route through others on the same circuit to which they have a stronger connection? In other words, would adding an additional deco that is physically in between (in terms of electrical wire) the two troublesome decos help?

@mjarret

Thanks for your requesting.

Deco P7 supports powerline backhaul, wifi backhaul and ethernet backhaul.

Regarding to the powerline backhaul, it is related to the actual powerline environment.

It depends on which Deco the slave Deco has connected, it can be another slave Deco, or the main Deco; if it is the main Deco, then the slave Deco will communicate with the main one via powerline or wifi; otherwise, it will get transferred to the main one through the slave Deco.

You can add another Deco between the 2 troublesome Decos to enhance the signal strength.

May it help and have a nice day.
