How to set up Deco to work in Access Point mode
Access Point mode aims to extend the existing wired network and expand the wireless coverage
for a home network. At this time, the Deco system will not create its own subnet but purely
transfer data between the root router and the clients.
Note:
1.
Always keep the Deco's firmware up-to-date to use AP mode. If you're not sure, just tap
the Settings icon at the bottom right corner, then tap Update Deco for a check.
2.
Please make sure you have installed the latest Deco app version to use AP mode:
For Android: 1.2.5 or later version
For iOS: 1.2.9 or later version
3.
In AP mode, the Deco system will not act as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to the
clients. Please make sure you have enabled the DHCP server function on the root router.
4.
In AP mode, since all the clients are managed by the root router, some advanced features
will not be available on the Deco app, including Antivirus, Parental Controls, Port
Forwarding, Address Reservation, TP-Link DDNS, etc.
5.
Ethernet Backhaul could still take effect in AP mode.
