How to setup TP-Link Deco M4 Mesh WiFi for TM Unifi

Learn how to setup the Deco M4 to make the Wi-Fi coverage and speed faster for your TM Unifi Internet.

Join our Facebook Group for more help:

Tips:
1) Main unit of Deco M4 must connect to the router and not the modem!
2) HyppTV must connect to router provided by TM Unifi and not the Deco M4.
3) During initial setup process, please place second Deco M4 unit near to the main unit.
4) Once setup is completed, we recommend the distance between Deco M4 to be around 1-2 walls for the best performance.
6) Our Deco uses an intelligent algorithm so there's only one Wi-Fi name for the entire network. Our system will automatically steer your devices to the best band.

Wiring Guide:
Make sure the wiring is from LAN2 of TM router to any ports of Deco M4.
Do not use LAN4 on TM router as this port cannot work.

I do not believe the improvement this brought to a home WiFi. Bedroom was hovering around 8-10 Mbits, with frequent disconnections (being at the end of an apartment). I've placed main Deco in the living room, second one in kid's room (in the middle of the apartment), and the third one in the bedroom. Bedroom speed is 70+ Mbits! I am amazed! Excellent product!

For those who may still having problem after following the video. Here is my experience.

1) Use the PDF guide it is clearer. Unlike this video at 1:14 , it is saying "We already done the wiring in the previous steps" (Which is NOT specific & confusing), The PDF wrote "IGNORE this step", which is much clearer.

2) Secondly, you MUST use the black router provided by UNFI. Turn your router around, the router model MUST BE AC1200.

Don't be like me, I was using a third-party router that is not provided by UNFI. Since the guide DID NOT say we can't use third-party router, GG. I wasted HOURS figuring the problems.

Good luck there guys. Hope this helps.

Thank you very much! Works great! My problem was that at the end I could'n connect to internet, but now it's solved. I was connecting my media converter and then ethernet cable inserted in deco, but in the end was not working. Your video solved the problem! From media converter to the existing gigabit router, then ethernet cable from router to deco. Than fallow app on phone and solved! Thank you again!

Does the main one have to be beside the Wi-Fi router or can you connect it and move it to wherever you want afterwards?

[ajaybangi]

can i connect both deco units thru wifi & not thru LAN cable?

[mohdshukor]

Easy and well done guidelines setup! Superb unifi + tp-link product!

Thank you so much.Now I can play ps4 peacefully without lagging

Apparently for unifi users, when setting up the main unit, we need to connect directly to router, not modem. Not as the instruction in the app/manual. Which brings me to my question, do i need to ensure my first unit is continously connected to my router, then setup the second (and subsequent) unit(s) wirelessly?

[MrNornizamyusof]

My house is just next door from my father's home where the Unifi router is located. At the moment i just pulling the 15m ethernet cat 6 cable from the router to my PC at my house. Can i buy this DECO M4 and plug to the ethernet cat 6 cable ive pulled earlier and setup as per shown in this video?

Hi, just a question, what will happen if i reboot my deco mesh? Are those devices that were connected will be deleted?

[karenpimentel]

Thank you for helping me connect my router 🎉
specific, fast and easy👍

[garudaeagle]

Tq.. so complicated at first .. who has problem actually something has missing in this toturial..

[areksachanel]

Kalau ta pake kabel LAN... apa kah bisa ke sambung ke modem???

[kyrafiffyfluff]

I think it is better for TM/TPlink to put a guideline/link to this video in the box. The TPlink app asked us to turn off the existing router and connect the LAN cable directly from modem into the main Deco. It is contradict & confusing.

[sohce]

The video will be better if you showed the option of connecting directly to modem. But then again, the option of Modem-Router-Deco also works. It’s just that we will need more plug points
