So we will use my setup as an example. My modem is also a WiFi Router so it's broadcasting WiFi. If I were to try to run my Deco's in Wireless Router mode instead of AP mode I will have a double Nat issue. You can read more about double nat here 

 

So in my case I had my ISP set my modem/router in bridge mode (Which usually will disable the WiFi broadcast but not in all cases) so I could run my deco's in Wireless Router mode and not in AP mode.

 

If you have a separate modem and a separate router AND your modem isn't broadcasting WiFi then you can get rid of the router and run an Ethernet cord from the back of your modem to your main deco.

 

The other deco's can either be connected via Ethernet or WiFi 

 

Hope that helps :) 

 

 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1
