Yes, that is no problem, the TP Link Deco devices can all be combined with each other. When setting up, you start with the fastest, in this case the X60, then the second fastest Deco is added and so on.
Since the requirements are constantly being adapted, we are unfortunately unable to assess this. It is best to contact the Internet provider directly, then you can be given appropriate feedback.
Try giving the main deco to another deco and swap them at the location. This way you can test whether it is the Deco itself. Do the Decos get unusually hot or something? You should also place them in a free-standing position with sufficient air circulation. Otherwise install all available updates. Greetings
No, the Deco X60 sets always contain the same Deco X60. I am also sometimes amazed at the prices that are called up, sometimes it is cheaper to buy a set of 3. A very good alternative that supports even more devices would be the Xiaomi AX3000 Mesh set, it also consists of two identical devices, and each has a 3 port Gbit switch built in (in addition to the WAN connection).

The Xiaomi set can manage over 240 devices.
Check the network settings, perhaps it is in a different subnet or an "old" fixed IP is set. I could no longer control my Philips Hue, but after a raset it worked again and was assigned a dynamic IP via DHCP. By default DHCP is always used with the TP-Link Decos... Greetings
Yes, one device is the "main device". This is connected to the router or any existing switch via a network cable. Additional decos can be connected via WLAN or also via network cable (the cable can be connected to the "main" deco or to the possibly existing switch). By the way, there is the operating mode "Router" and the operating mode "Accesspoint". In the "Accesspoint" operating mode, the NAT and DHCP function of the Deco is deactivated.
No it uses triband but it is all WiFi. One could use Ethernet cables as a backhaul, but the main focus here is the WiFi6 mesh. The only ones that used powerline as backhaul are the Deco P7 or P9. All have HomeCare in common, the free antivirus and antimalware solution that is integrated into the router. It protects every device that is connected to these Deco units.
Hello, I have been using this system for a good year now. Everything ran smoothly until 3 days ago. The main Deco is on the 1st floor, two more on the ground floor. The connection between the deco's is good/strong.
Now, for 3 days the decos on the ground floor keep flashing red. They are offline in the app and I can only unplug the power and plug it back in. Then they reconnect and everything runs smoothly until the next time.
I haven't done or changed anything.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Classic misunderstanding with mesh. The mesh network builds up its own IP range. All devices must be unplugged from the main router and connected to the mesh router system, otherwise the devices will not see each other because they are in different subnets.
The best thing to do now is to buy a small 5-pin switch and connect it to a Deco where you need more than 2 connections. The router of the internet provider only serves as a quasi internet modem in a classic mesh setup. The WLAN of the Internet service provider router should also be switched off, as it is no longer needed and the mesh network has taken over.
I have moved house and unfortunately I can't run a Lan cable from my living room to my study. In order to still get internet on my PC (without a wifi module), I got a Fritz!Repeater 1200 AX and connected it with a suitable lan cable (maximum distance between the Sunrise Connect Box and the repeater is 10 metres and 2-3 walls). However, I now have repeated internet interruptions and sometimes weak internet on my PC, despite a 1000 m/bit line and a suitable Lan cable for performance.
- Would the X60 Mesh System be suitable for my case?
- Is the two set sufficient for my case or should I rather take a three set?
- I need at least 4 Lan connections for my devices in the living room. Do I replace my Sunrise Box completely with the Mesh Router and I only have 1 Lan connection left, or can I still leave the other devices plugged into the Sunrise Box?
Hello all. I bought the set of 3 and am absolutely convinced. The weak WLAN is history. The set-up is super easy. However, the Wingo TV boxes make me despair. I connected them to the Deco via LAN cable and they run for hours without any problems. Suddenly they lose the connection. If I then switch on the function IPTV/VLAN > ISP profile (Bridge) on the DECO app, everything works again. Hours later, I have to reverse the game so that everything works again. Isn't there a more elegant solution? I am grateful for any help. LG, fjtd1
That does sound a bit mysterious, especially since the box is connected via LAN cable and not wirelessly. The fact that it always works when you switch between bridge and non-bridge mode sounds as if the connection is renewed by the mode change (like using the good old "switch device on/off fix" ^^).
For a wireless connection that is unreliable, it might help to use an app like Wifi Analyzer to see if individual channels are in the way and then manually select them.
You write something about several Wingo TV boxes. Normally you only use one TV box. If several TV boxes are used on several TVs in the same network, the problem could also be that the boxes in the network are getting in each other's way. In this case, the only thing that helps is to ask Wingo support whether a special configuration or subscription adjustment is necessary (I haven't found an answer to this question on the Wingo website).
The AX3000 from Xiaomi is better, it has a 3 x Gbit Ethernet connection per mesh router and the entire system from Xiaomi is more powerful, it can manage up to 256 devices with 5 cores per router. The X60 from TP-Link manages somewhat less. However, the TP-Link X60 has free Home Care, i.e. antivirus and antimalware integrated directly into the router. This also has advantages, but when it comes to connection options or performance, the AX3000 would be more optimal and, above all, you can get 4 AX3000 routers from Xiaomi for around 260 francs. That is also an advantage.
Yes, it is possible. When connected via the LAN cable, the devices will no longer perform a mesh function via WLAN, as the LAN connection is used as a backhaul.
A very inexpensive WiFi 6 solution would be, for example, the Xiaomi AX3000 Mesh System. Two kits with a total of even 4 routers cost about 250 Swiss francs and have four Gbit Ethernet connections per mesh router (3 x LAN and 1 x WAN). Up to 10 routers can be used in the Xiaomi mesh system.
As already mentioned, the setup of the Decos with Ethernet backhaul is somewhat complex, because it is possible to create a network loop where nothing works properly.
