Deco EasyMesh Feature Guide
 

Deco EasyMesh allows you to link the Deco and other EasyMesh-compatible devices to form a united mesh network. It helps further expand the wireless coverage.
Note:

1. Make sure the routers or extenders to be added support EasyMesh. Firmware upgrades may be required for certain models. Please check the user manual or ask the manufacturer before configuration.

>>TP-Link EasyMesh Device List

 

There are two methods to enable Deco EasyMesh:

Note: 

1. Some advanced functions might not be available when Deco works as an EasyMesh extender, such as network dial-up, HomeShield/Parental Controls/QoS, etc.

2. When "Add a Deco to the existing EasyMesh Network", Deco's original network will be reset and all data will be cleared. It will copy the network settings from the EasyMesh network and will adopt its network name and password. You may need to manually connect your phone/tablet to the new EasyMesh Wi-Fi.

 

 

 

Add EasyMesh Devices to the Deco Network

 

Configuration Steps:
1. Make sure the Deco has already been configured first on the Deco APP.
2. Click "+" on the top right and choose "Add EasyMesh Nodes".

3. Connect the EasyMesh device via the WPS button or Ethernet cable.

  • via the WPS button

  • via an Ethernet cable

Add a Deco to an Existing EasyMesh Network

 

Configuration Steps:

1. Make sure the Deco has already been configured first on the Deco APP.
2. Go to More > Advanced > EasyMesh and select "Add Deco to an existing EasyMesh network".

d1091e6f03c3471cb00d89aa4c460668
3. Connect to the EasyMesh device via the WPS button or Ethernet cable.

(The steps are quite similar to the "Add EasyMesh Devices to the Deco Network")

 

 

After establishing an EasyMesh network, you can view the EasyMesh routers/extenders network status and connected clients directly through Deco APP.

Note:

1. Removing Deco from the EasyMesh network will reset it to factory settings. For some devices, you may need to reset Deco manually before removing it.
2. To change the advanced settings on the EasyMesh router, users need to access its individual management interface.

  @David-TP A question/concern please.  I noticed this is specifically for Version 1.26.  On the product pages (of the X55) I noticed there's also Firmware available for a Version 1.60.  Does this mean Version 1.60 will also get EasyMesh capability, or is that uncertain?

 

Thank you.

  @jzchen 

Hi, this feature is indeed planned to be rolled out for other models. However, unless the relevant firmware is finally scheduled, it is still full of uncertainty.

Thank you very much and best regards.
