Ethernet backhaul

 

If you are experiencing difficulties with setting up Ethernet backhaul or configuring your network switch with your Deco device, we recommend consulting the following links for assistance: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1794/. and https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/98898

 

Configuring multiple models of deco units to operate concurrently.

 

If you have multiple models of Deco units, it is recommended to designate the new model as the primary Deco and the older models as secondary units.

 

There are two methods to achieve this. Regardless of the option you choose, please ensure that your network is configured according to either the first or second examples in this image: https://static.tp-link.com/upload/faq/image-20240329074344-12_20240329144345n.png.

 

**Option #1 (Not recommended)**: For guidance, please refer to the following link: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2400/.

 

**Option #2**:

 

1. Reset all of your Deco units by pressing the reset button on each one.

 

2. Using the Deco app, set up your newest Deco as the main unit. Since you have factory reset each unit, you will be able to use the same network SSID and password as before.

 

3. Once the newer model is operational, return to the app and add the remaining Decos to your network.
