r/TpLink

I have 3 TP link Decos ( 1x main node and 2x satellite nodes BE65’s).

I have a POE camera which is near a satellite node, if I purchased a POE switch, could I connect it to a satellite note then connect it to the camera or do I need to connect it to the main node ?

We’ve for a small office that has had two bands coming from the Comcast modem, and someone recently set up a third network using an Orbi system.

I’d like to consolidate these networks on one mesh system, and Amazon has a sale on a TpLink AXE5400 right now.

How easily can I set up a mesh network using that and set up a “Office” ssid and a “Guest” ssid? And is two the most I can have with that?

I use a WAN setup where the router is connected with the modem. After a couple of days of uptime, the router suddenly drops the internet connection even though there IS internet coming via the modem? I verified it by directly plugging the modem with my PC and it worked.

I have tried changing the ethernet cable that goes from the modem to the router, twice, but it didn't seem to solve the issue.

Sometimes replugging the cable works and internet restores while at other times, I've to turn off the router for 10 mins and restart for internet to come back again. This is driving me crazy. Any fix is appreciated!

Hi, I’m a university student living in the dorms, and I’m having an issue with weak internet in my room. Curiously, the signal is strong as soon as I step outside the door. So, I decided to get a signal booster, and I bought a TP-Link AC750 Travel Router. I’ve been researching how to connect it to the university Wi-Fi, but since it requires student login credentials to connect, I’ve tried several times and it’s not working. Does anyone have experience with this?

I want to buy the TP-Link deco BE95 / BE33000 in the UK but I am unable to find anywhere where they are for sale. Does anyone know where I can buy these or why they are unavailable.

I am planning to run a 3-pack of these with wired backhaul which comes to my question.

Is it better to run Omada 787 wired or better to run the BE95 wired. I have 5g from my ISP and wondering which would provide the best performance.

Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I currently have a BE3600 router in router mode only. This is plugged into my ONT from Zen on their 2.7Gb Full Fibre Max subscription in my kitchen.

The router is then connected via ethernet to a 2.5Gb bridge, and from this an ethernet cable connects to my Deco BE65 in Access Mode.

My Ugreen NAS is plugged into this main Deco unit via ethernet also.

I have another Deco BE65 in the living room, and a third in my bedroom both connected to the main Deco in the kitchen via ethernet...

Is this the correct set-up? I never seem to get any speeds above 1.3Gbps anywhere in the house via wi-fi. If connected directly to the main deco I get the full 2.04Gbps up and down generally.

Do I need the BE3600 router, or just plug directly into the Deco?

I feel like something is not quite right, or I'm just over thinking this..?

Hello

I’ve recently bought a GE550, downloaded Tether and noticed it had a traffic monitor setting so turned it on and I noticed it populated data from the last hour or so that the router had been on. I turned it off as it’s not something I want on.

Logged on to the web gateway and saw it there so turned it on to see if it was any different or offered anything different to the app version and saw the clear button. Cleared it and it cleared the previous day but not today. Turned it back off. Reported it to TP-Link via live chat and they asked me to update the firmware. They asked me to turn it on again and see if it updated and it had.

Has anyone else done this the case? That it doesn’t turn off traffic monitoring but simply hides the data?

Hi everyone! I hope yall are doing well! I've seen some posts about the unreliability of the BE68 system, figured I'd re-check in and see of everyone is still having issues. I have gone through 2 XE75Pro systems over the years lost because of lightning. Each time Best Buy Total has taken care of me. Last time it happened, July 2025, the BE68 had just came out iirc. I had some rewards, was getting the money back from the XE75Pro system and some spare cash so figured why not.

Its honestly been so hit or miss for me. I've got all three set up, like I did with my XE75Pro system; triangulating the center of our 2500sqft house (tons of interference in the center due to stove, fridge, washer, dryer, etc). This is what seems to give me the best coverage (2 Decos dont seem to work effectively, or didnt at least from my memory, especiallywith rear property coverage).. All wired backhaul with high quality cables, that have been properly terminated.

For starters, none of my TPLink systems have liked our Samsung TV's. the XE75Pro did better than these BE68 do, though. Our wifi cameras don't seem to work well on the BE68 system. Our pellet grill will not connect at all (turned on my ISP router for giggles and it connected right up). Phones and other devices are hit or miss too. I've also found I will set a device to a specific node, because that's the one it should connect to, and it NEVER stays. it always roams to another. My security cams on the front of the house are pinned to the front node, yet always connect to the node across the house even though its so far away it barely reaches (causing cameras to not work well). Everything is updated, and the "network optimizer" thinks its all perfect.

I'm debating just jumping ship to Unifi, at this point. I just installed a system into our church, and while not quite fully deployed, I'm way happier with it, and the level of monitoring, customization, and reliability its provided.

Just curious if everyone is still experiencing issues with the BE68's? I might try taking down one node again, and seeing if that helps? but like I said I remember originally just trying to run 2 with various placemnts and it not working right. and that still doesn't fix the other issues I've had and I think I'm just over it. I want to move into the Protect system too, by Unifi, for cameras, etc, so I think that's just the starter move.

I don't know how you'd even turn it back on without logging into the admin page via ethernet - that's what I did.

Great design with the "WPS/Wifi button" TP Link. "Easy disconnect" technology lol.
