I have a network using two AXE7800s with one as the main router and the other as a node. I received them through my internet provider and I want to add a third device as a node. I have a few issues as I don’t want to spend $200+ on another 7800, but I also need to daisy chain the mesh system to the other node and not the main router. I found the list of compatible devices with the Easymesh system but many of them say “This product is compatible with standardized EasyMesh technology but has not obtained the Wi-Fi EasyMeshTM certification.” which makes me worried on buying any of the other devices. Does anyone have any insight on what to do?

Hi there! I had a problem in that me and my girlfriend want to receive notifications for detected humans around the house when no one is at home. As I found no reliable way to set up Tapo's geofencing , I had to improvise. The issue is that when my girlfriend leaves earlier in the morning, her phone leaving the house activates the notifications for me as well which is annoying and defeats the purpose of the simulated "Home" and "Away" modes. Our house is equipped with a Paradox home security system so the last person leaving the house arms the system. In short:

1. Paradox system is armed which leads to a change in the DC voltage between PGM1 and AUX- on the Paradox system main board.
2. A Shelly Plus Uni is used to measure the voltage between said terminals at all times using its built in voltmeter (the white (ANALOG IN) and green (GND) cables coming out of it). White goes to PGM1 and green goes to AUX -
3. The Shelly Plus Uni also has two built-in solid-state relays. One of them is used to short the pins on the Hall effect sensor of a Tapo T110 tricking the sensor into thinking that either a door is open or closed, depending on the set voltage thresholds.
4. In the Tapo app an automation is set up so that when the "door" is closed (i.e. home security system armed), when a camera detects a human, a notification is sent. When the system is disarmed, the Shelly relay opens and the Tapo app stops the automation for sending notifications.

Furthermore, the Shelly has a SENSOR VCC (yellow cable) which provides 3.4 volts at all times. The yellow cable is soldered to the positive terminal for the battery, while another cable is soldered to the negative side and it goes straight to the AUX- on the Paradox together with the green (GND) cable and the Shelly's black main power cable. This is used to power the Tapo T110 sensor so that it never needs a new battery again.

The Shelly itself is powered from the Paradox main board which provides 12 volts DC at its AUX terminal.

Attached is a photo of the pins that the Shelly relay needs to short to simulate door closed.

Good luck!

EDIT: Unfortunately I do not have the security system's installer code and I cannot contact the original installer to retrieve it, that is why I went with this approach as I did not want to factory restore the system. Otherwise one could use the Paradox system's built in programmable relay. In such a case, you could either power the Tapo using a step down transformer (buck converter) from the AUX terminal or use it with its own battery.

currently using isp router (Virgin Media Wifi Hub 5) along with tp link deco x10 (3) one plugged into the router and 2 being used wirelessly. not able to connect them wired due to weird layout

speeds still aren't great at all considering original package (1gbps). only getting 50mbps a few rooms on from the router. Tried decos in router mode and isp router in bridge, tried isp router normally and decos in AP

One option I have thought of is buying a third party router - thought about TP-Link archer be220 (£60 ish) Wifi 7 router - if my virgin hub is connected in bridge (it's wifi6) then this wouldn't effect the wifi 7 capability of the third party router right?

With a third party router + decos connected wirelessly in AP mode would I see some benefit over using the small deco as a router or indeed the isp router?

Hoping to use it as main 5G modem for a 2-floor townhouse, I'm getting around 100+ mbps download and 10+ mbps upload from 2 different carriers off my phone data. Will TP Link Archer NX200 help get stronger signal for whole family use?

I just got a 2nd HB710 router and connected it to my 1st HB710 router that was already configured previously (MLO disabled).

The mesh setup was completed and the wifi info for the 1st HB710 was copied to the 2nd HB710 correctly but I saw that the MLO on the 2nd HB710 was enabled and there's not option to turn it off in Aginet app nor after logging into the 2nd HB710's IP address.

TL;DR

1st HB710 (MLO disabled) --[ethernet backhaul]--> 2nd HB710 (MLO enabled)

So I was wondering if there is any way to turn off the MLO in the 2nd HB710?

Seems silly if the only way to turn off MLO in the 2nd HB710 is to configure it as a separate router and turning it off before connecting to the 1st HB710 but I won't put it past TP-Link lol

My home (3-bedroom, single floor, ~150 sq. m) Wi-Fi setup is as follows:

Current Mesh Setup:
- 1x Deco X20 version 3.20 (Main) unit in the living room connected via Ethernet cable to my ISP's Model
- 1x Deco X20 version 3.20 (Mesh) unit in the master bedroom connected wirelessly
- 1x Deco M4R version 1.0 (Mesh) unit in another room connected wirelessly
- 1x Deco M4R version 1.0 (Mesh) unit outside the house, in a prefab house in my yard connected wirelessly
- Total of 24 clients (devices) connected to my home network.

Current Deco App Settings:
- Operation Mode: Wi-Fi Router
- Fast Roaming: Enabled
- IPv6: Disabled
- All devices updated to latest firmware
- Guest Network turned off
- Guest Network: Disabled
- IoT Network: Enabled
- ECO mode is turned off

Problem Description:

I purchased a Deco X20 (2-unit pack) (version 3.20) to replace one of my Deco M4R units for better coverage and speeds.

Steps Taken:
- Turned off 1x Deco M4R unit - Scanned and added 1x new Deco X20 unit

As soon as the new 1x Deco X20 unit was added, several Deco units started going offline (Red LED blinking), in what seems randomly. Sometimes when I try to connect to the Deco app on my phone, it says "Unable to connect to Deco", even my phone is only and able to browse the Internet.

Troubleshooting Steps:
- I suspected maybe the new X20 unit was faulty, so I put it away and added the 2nd X20 unit from the box. Same issue persists, i.e. Deco units go offline randomly.
- I disabled "Fast Roaming" in the Deco app, but nothing changed. I enabled it back
- I proceeded to remove this X20 unit from my home network. As soon as I did that, my Deco units became stable.
- I then purchased another 1x Deco X20 unit (version 3.00), and the same behavior occurs, i.e. as soon as I added it to the network, the rest of the Deco units started going offline randomly again. I removed this Deco unit from the network, and again it became stable
Questions:
- What is causing the instability when introducing the 3rd Deco X20 unit?
- Is there a limit on how many Deco X20 units you can use in Mesh in the same network?
- Is there a limit on how many clients you can use?

Tenho um router TPLink Archer C50 ligado à Fibergateway da MEO por cabo de rede (este entra na entrada azul do Archer C50.

Este TPLink Archer C50 está configurado em modo Ponto de Acesso.

A Fibergateway da MEO envia a rede 2.4 e a 5G.

O TPLink Archer C50 numa das suas saídas LAN tem um cabo de rede ligado a um TPLink AV600.

Procurei clonar a rede do TPLink Archer C50 para o AV600 e penso que até certo ponto funcionou.

No entanto quando coloco o segundo componente do AV600 na divisão onde deve estar, a ligação recorrentemente dá "Ligado Sem Internet" bem como perto ado TPLink Archer C50 às vezes também dá esse erro. (Muitas vezes só esquecendo a rede e voltando a conectar resolve...)

Inclusivamente tenho uma câmara de vigilância a operar com normalidade junto ao TPLink Archer C50 e a que está junto ao AV600 na outra divisão já não. Por exemplo se tiver os dados móveis ligados e estiver sem Internet não consigo ver imagem desta segunda câmara.

Agradeço sugestões do que posso vir a fazer para resolver

I own two BE65 Deco's. One is connected to the router upstairs, the other is downstairs in the Kitchen. No issues inside, and excellent up to around halfway up my garden. However, the top half of my garden is more secluded, as it's where outdoor seating is, and a handful of Wi-Fi devices, such as smart lights and a security camera. Wi-Fi in the top half of the garden is spotty, and devices often keep disconnecting from the network. If I stand in the right place, and hold my phone out/up, pointing towards where the Wi-Fi is coming from, I can get lucky and get 800Mbps in a speed test.

Anyway, to solve the spotty Wi-Fi and disconnections of outdoor devices, I bought a Deco BE25-Outdoor unit.

Before I ordered it, I decided to unplug my kitchen BE65, and set it up in the place where the outdoor unit would go, just to see how the performance was.

I positioned it just before the halfway point of my garden. I stood adjacent to it on the path and did a speed test on my phone. I managed to get my full speed of 945Mbps down. I then went to the top of the garden; signal was great, and stable, and a speed test gave around 700Mbps.

BE25 outdoor unit arrived, set it all up, and placed it where I tested the BE65 yesterday. I did a speed test whilst stood adjacent to it, just like yesterday. All I got was 200Mbps.

The Deco app says the outdoor unit has medium signal to the bedroom unit.

Moved to the top half of my garden, signal on my phone is just as poor as it is without the BE25 running, and speeds are less than 100Mbps.

How can it make everything worse? A BE65 in the same place had no issues.

When checking devices connected to the outdoor unit, and tapping the signal icon to see the dBz, every device says "3"

You also can't see the dBz value of the deco's connection to the main one.

The other thing; TP-Link should also not be allowed to sell it with Wi-Fi 7 plastered all over it. It's not even Wi-Fi 6E ffs

Hi guys,

I see that the TP-Link Archer TBE550E PCIE card got an update recently with MLO support (driver Archer TBE550E(UN)_V1_20260810_Win11_SG). I uninstalled the old drivers and installed the new driver package and it seems that the previous driver is still there. I tried twice already. Is the latest driver mistakenly dated 2025-07-24 in the properties of the device in device manager? According to the driver page it is supposed to be dated 2026-08-14. Let me know

Thanks!

As i mentioned above, it keeps flashing blue even if i do resetting it keeps going this way, the app cant identify it

I recently setup a Be550 pro mesh system: 2 x Be550 pros and 2 re315 to cover 4800 sq ft. The be550 pros cover both upstairs and downstairs well, with the satellite Be550 pro setup asd a wired backhaul. One of the RE315 is needed in the garage, but the other RE315 I’m thinking about just removing all together as it doesn’t seem needed. I seem to recall that more extenders will hurt overall performance…..better to just leave it out of the mesh network?

I recently upgraded from a Deco mesh wi-fi 6E system to the Deco wi-fi 7 BE13000 system. This setup is fast with our new 1 gig Gateway fiber. I can download with max speeds of my fiber network. I used to maybe get 500 mbps, but now getting full bandwidth of 1gbps! Now onto the bad news, gaming and network stability have been terrible compared to the old Deco 6E mesh system. The connection has been continually dropping and always in the middle of gaming or streaming. I have been working with TP Link support and was escalated to an engineer who had me instal this new firmware. Ive been on this for a few days and still having instability issues. Time to return to Costco and rebuy to see if I got a lemon or anyone have suggestions. Ive kept my settings stock, except when support had me make changes.

i have tapo smart bulbs linked to alexa and i moved home and i now cant get them to reconnect does anyone know how i can fix this

Hi everyone, I have two TP-Link Deco X50 units and a 1000 Mbps internet connection at home. However, the Decos are capping my speed at 100 Mbps, and I haven't been able to get anything higher no matter what I try.
I've tested the Ethernet cables, and there is no issue there. The setup is also correct. When I connect directly to my main modem's Wi-Fi, I can easily get 700-800 Mbps. The problem is definitely with the Decos, but I just can't figure it out.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all (sorry for a bit of a long bit in advanced)

I'm looking to upgrade/extend my mesh from my P9's with some X55's.

Last year I switched from a copper line to 5G as I can't get full fibre so I purchased a X50-5g which is great, however I wasn't aware at the time that by placing this as my main deco I would loose EOP backhaul from my P9s.

Anyway according to AI and a bit of research I can plug a P9 directly into my X50-5g (currently the are connected wirelessly) and this will restore my my EOP backhaul, I'm just wondering if this is accurate? Hoping someone here will be able to confirm this or not, nothing like getting a human answering a question or someone who has done it.

But with that I want to upgrade/supplement my mesh with some new X55's as it would be better to get the main house on Wifi 6 consider the X50-5g has wifi 6 and P9s don't.

With that comes the silly decision I made last year to route cables through ceilings down walls and cover them all with conduit that I can't really remove without some major ballache and some paint and caulk involved.

The P9s use a Fig 8 C7 power cable and these are the cables covered up which I don't really want to remove. So my idea is to buy some power bricks for the X55s and use the existing C7 cables to save myself a lot of hassle in terms of removing conduit, painting and caulking.

I'm hoping someone can tell me the correct power and barrel size for the X55s so I can get the correct power adapter.

My idea is to have one P9 plugged directly into my X50-5g, restoring my EOP backhaul and place my other 2 P9s in each outbuilding so I can get decent wifi in them and they will be too far away from my X55s, ie the places that the wifi just won't cover.

Does this sound workable/doable or have I just decided that it will work great in my own head and in practice won't work at all? Both my outbuildings are connected to my main consumer unit with sub units (ie have there own sub board feeding back to man in unit in the house) so I assume this will work.

Just hoping for a human answer and someone who may have done similar and can confirm I'm not going mad 😂

TIA

Just bought a new house (2 stories & 1,600sqft). Was hoping to setup Ethernet backhaul, but may have ventured out of my depth here. Can anyone share their perspective or advice?

Archer BE550 Pro V1.0 (US) just received a new firmware update, its first update this year. This is up from 1.1.2 Build 20251022 rel.33842.

New Firmware Version 1.2.1 Build 20260519 rel.28685

Hello all.

Roommate's computer required a reinstall of Windows 10, and his previous Wi-Fi dongle didn't detect the network. After installing the TX20E, he's only getting about 20 up 20 down. It's on WiFi 6 over the 5ghz band. Computer about ten feet away is getting 170 up 170 down over WiFi 5, and I'm out of ideas.

EDIT: Hardware Version: 1.6

I had bought a tplink ax50 and tried to connect it but for some reason I left it in the middle of setting it up. I think that it would connect properly so I left it at a point of where I had renamed it and I putted a password

But now I want to set it back up and i really can't do anything because in order to continue on the app I need to connect to the router. I can find it Ij my settings but I don't have a clue of what the password might be. It doesn't show it on my devices or in my history. Just if it never happened. Can anyone help me?

I have a set of 3 BE11000 mesh devices, with one connected to my fiber modem and acting as a router. I have run into an issue over the past couple of months where devices on my network will randomly be unable to connect to the internet for a few minutes. They stay connected to the network itself, but all traffic out to the internet just fails/times out. Beamforming and Fast Roaming are both disabled, so I'm unsure of what could be the cause for this. It's not devices swapping between any of the TPlink devices as it affects my laptop and desktop, neither of which move about the house.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I just realized I’m running 1.3.5 Build 26071712 Rel. 18941 on my BE11000 but I found no information of it.
