In my case I signed a 2 years contract with a Telco , the services provider supplied TP Link Deco AX5400 wifi 6 X60 (3-pack) mesh system and 1 Modem The technician done everything , testing and handed over to me. I am not a gamer, MESH system able to cover 2000sq/ft of area, good signal, Stable and reliable for 15 months ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great explanation as always. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. Mesh networking is still pretty new to a majority of us. I've done IT on and off for 20 years and only have really seen them in practice on the corporate level until recently. After having my TP-Link Deco AXE5400 mesh network for about 6 weeks now, it's hard to imagine my internet without one. It just works. Wired backhaul was no question the way to go for me, but as long as you keep these at least 30-40 feet within of each node, the speed loss seems negligable. I have 2 nodes about 30 feet apart and it seems like they like to stick to the main one, but I'll space them just a bit farther apart eventually, just to get the maximum benefit of the mesh network. To sum up, I'm super surprised the range of these little devices. Even as a stand alone device they seem quite functional. Anyways, Cheers 👍

This is by far the simplest explanation of MoCA + mesh network configurations I've seen, so thank you. If I have fiber installed and I have coax throughout my house, can I essentially substitute "cable modem" for "ONT" here? For example, can I just take the coax that's (presumably, hasn't been installed yet) going into my ONT, run it through a splitter that then connects back to my ONT and one of my XE75 routers, and then I'll be able to connect MoCA adapters to any coax port in the house?

I would connect your ONT to your deco first, then from that deco, I would run the MoCA through the coax walls. I haven’t tried it the other way, it may actually work directly cause it is converting Ethernet to coax and back but I would go from ONT to deco and from that you can run the MoCA

Then, find the network box where my coax goes to, disconnect it from the wall, and MoCA it into my Deco router?

I receive the internet from a modem/router which was connected to the main Deco and then the Deco with a Cat 7 cable to an unmanned switch...this switch links computers and printers... Something went definetely wrong, since most of the internet speed was lost when reaching the cabled computers and the computers could not find the printers. Obviously I did something wrong or am missing some configuration needed in the Deco app options... I would appreciate a lot any insight you might have on my problem... Thanks for your videos.

If you have a modem router combo, you need to disable the router portion of that by either disabling it or by putting it in bridge mode. Bridge mode essentially disable your router functionality You can typically access the modem router combo settings by going to a specific up address or link that should be a sticker on your modem/router combo. You can also call your ISP and request a modem only with no router functionality and run the deco to that. Or you can run your deco in access point mode which will just show your original WiFi name.

Does it have the tplink setup on the same network SSID as the isp modem/router, and provide a wifi "mesh" on the same network also, ie handoff of device seamlessly to various pucks as you walk around the house. What happens if someone's phone connects to the isp modem/router... could they still access files on a pc that is hardwired to one of the tplink access points? This would be great. I need a mesh that can play nice with my ISP modem/router, because I'd like to run the 10G wired to an unmanaged switch to plug in a bunch of devices such as pc, nas etc off of that switch; and then let everyone who has phones run around the house connecting to various mesh points, but also be able to access files on the network nas, pc etc. I know my existing Google wifi doesn't do it.

When I say to use the same name, I'm saying that so your devices can connect to the new router without having to go and reprogram each device. This assumes you don't have a modem/router combo or have disabled the router portion of the modem/router combo. If you want to keep your router active from your modem/router combo then you could get this deco and run it in access point mode. There is no SSID you name, it just uses whatever the main router is and extends that signal. I'm personally not a fan of this but it could work.

If I only need to connect the Ethernet cable to my pc and I’m not trying to increase the wifi capacity, can I just use the moca adapters for a back haul connection without the mesh Wi-Fi system? (I don’t have the possibility to run Ethernet cables from room to room)

Hello friend, I wanted to bother you with a question please. To install the TP-Link Deco XE75. Should you configure your company's router or modem to Bridge Mode? Thanks for your answer.

If you have a modem router combo, then that router portion should be configured to bridge mode. If you just have a modem, nothing needs to be done aside from setting up the Deco

Thx! excellent video. so the wired backhaul setup can be either: a) a straight ethernet cable connecting the two Decos b)First Deco connects to ADSL modem with ethernet A and to an unmanaged switch with ethernet B, while the second Deco only connects to the unmanaged switch I have an ADSL modem/router with 4 ethernet ports i.e modem and unmanaged switch combined. wouldn't it work to plug both DECOs on this ADSL modem/route? If I rephrase the question, would it be possible to have a setup of Modem - Deco 1 - Deco 2 all connecting only to an unmanaged switch?

I have the X55. Can i connect 2 Decos directly to the modem/router by ethernet, instead of tying them from router->Deco->Deco? For example, if my router is in the middle of the house can i connect one deco by ethernet to the left side of the house, and then another deco on the right side of the house, both coming into the center router/modem, and then a 3rd wirelessly downstairs?

No. MoCA is only for when your connection comes through coax cable from your ISP. Fiber optics are far superior than coax or even ethernet.

1. You connect one MoCA to your deco and the other MoCA to anything you want such as you TV set to box directly or to another Deco or to a computer, up to you 2. There should be an option for that, most likely under advanced section in the app

Thanks! I'm not sure I understand the question. Wired backhaul is accomplished when you connect the main router to the secondary router (which is acting like an access point). However you do need your main router connected via ethernet to your ISP modem, ONT or DSL.

I had question about moca. I have two unmanaged switches. One (net gear switch ) by the ont from isp and one (qnap 10switch) in other location where other moca device is at. Everything runs fine. I bought another qnap unmanaged switch to change the netgear one. Ever time I hook up moca Ethernet cable it has loopback error.

If your going from ONT to router to unmanaged switch to MoCA then to MoCA to other unmanned switch, it should work just fine. One thing with noting is that MoCA does limit to 16 devices. I haven't tested this but that may be your issue as well.

Great Explanation I Want to share my experience With Tp Link Mesh: I have a mixed Back haul mesh system, my house has two floors, I got internet optical fiber directly from the second floor (940Mb symetrical), then From my Router I Connect the first Tp lnk Deco, there is running cable to the next room to the sencond TP Link deco in my office and this to a Swtich for conect others devices... In the first floor I have a Deco wireless conected to the others two. The first floor is entirely concrete and for years the wifi conectivity was a problem in my house, since i bought the tp-link deco in 2020 (M4 - 3 pack) the problem was resolved, it exceeded my expectations, now I'm thinking in upgrade to TP-Link Tri-Band WiFi 7 BE22000 not for need but thinking in future speeds upgrades, I don't do it yet because I need to confirm if this one can handle 220V AC, I'm from Chile Regards!

IoT is short for Internet of Things which really just means smart home devices like smart light switches, smart power plugs, smart lights among other things. You can create a separate SSID just for these devices. This is completely optional, it does make it look a little more neat on your main network to see what devices you are using without looking at additional smart devices that are connected. I personally would use this feature but not every mesh system supports this, hence I just have them connect to my main network as I change routers/mesh wifis quite often for reviewing purposes.
