Need help with WiFi 6 mesh
Need help with WiFi 6 mesh
Hopefully I am in the right community.
So I have a router, a TP Link Archer AX53, nice router. I wanted to improve the signal in my room and bought a TP link Deco X10. So CAT 6 cable to my room, connect my router and deco.
I thought this might just be a quick tick to add the deco as a mesh device and boom problem sorted.
Now I know this is not a simple WiFi 6 mesh setup, seems like the deco and archer modem does not work together, they make their individual network points.
Does anyone know a solution or am I stuck with two networks. Not end of the world but would have been nice if it can be one mesh network
You need to set the deco as access point, that way it will act as an extension of the network of your router. If the deco acts as a router you will have two NATs and two networks, even if you name them the same.
Not sure about mesh though. I'd think that router-AP config is not as mesh as base-node.
Thank you, I will try and let you know
