TP-LINK DECO P7 blinks red when in AP mode
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
My setup is like that:
Fritzbox 7590 (only for DSL and wlan) -----------> EdgeRouter X (no wifi, controls the complete lan in the house and the decos are connected with this one) ---> DECO P7 main connected via ethernet, DECO P7 slave 1 connected via nothing, so basically wifi. this one doesnt work. AP mode. In router mode, main is ethernet and the slaves are wifi but then i have triple NAT i think BUT it works perfectly, even tho i have 3 NATS then.
Any way to fix this? do i need to connect the switch for all LANS in the house to the fritbox 7590 because it has wifi, so the decos can expand the wifi??

Please check your firmware in that you are running 1.4.7, if not update the firmware through the Deco app.
If you are running 1.4.7, please follow the procedure below:
1. Switch back to Router Mode.
2. Wait for all Decos to be online.
3. Download the firmware from here and extract it:

In router mode the main needs to be wired, in AP mode all could be wired, but if only the main then the slave should work off of Wi-Fi.
Have you tried swapping the nodes so the other is now the main Deco?
You can wire both nodes into your LAN while in AP mode.

If your main router doesn't have Wi-Fi that is fine. Its the cable going from the router to the main Deco that matters. Going back to the node, I would look to swap it to see if the blinking follows the node.

@Tony last question, from where are the speed tests? if im at the deco 3, does it takes the speedest from the main deco? or how? with my pc and speedtest i get way lower via lan connection

The speed test in the app is done from the main Deco. When on Deco 3 you traverse through the other Decos so it will not be as fast.
