SuperWiFi setup


Lets get your SuperWifi mesh unit set up:

Take one Deco X50 unit from the box and place it near your broadband modem.

  1. Plug the grey Deco X50 Ethernet cable into the LAN port on your Deco and the other end into the LAN port on your modem. This Deco is now your main (or primary) unit.
  2. Ensure your broadband modem/router is on and make sure it is connected to the internet. This could take a few minutes.
  3. Power on your main Deco X50 unit and wait for the flashing blue light.
  4. Once you have a flashing blue light, your Deco app will automatically set up your Deco WiFi network.

Deco App


Start by getting the Deco App:

  1. On your smartphone (or compatible device), open the App Store or Play Store and search for the 'TP-Link Deco' app. You can recognise this App with the icon, showing a solid white circle within a turquoise square.
  2. Install and then open your TP-Link Deco app.
  3. If you are a new user to TP-Link, you will create a TP-Link account and then follow the prompts to log in.
  4. Create your new Deco WiFi network by tapping the 'X50' to select your Deco model.

How to remove a Deco Mesh device

You can remove the Deco Mesh units from your network, and you'll be most likely to do this if you are swapping in newer devices, or if you want to reset everything and start afresh.

Just like the Deco set up, you will use the Deco App to make changes.
Find your Deco Mesh units in the App, and use the Remove option for each unit.
