Can I connect TP-Link Deco to a Router?

Yes, you can connect a TP-Link Deco system to almost any router.

This is the most common way to set up a Deco mesh system. The main Deco unit connects to your existing router using an Ethernet cable, while the remaining Deco units communicate wirelessly or through Ethernet backhaul.

There are two common setup options:

• • Router Mode: Deco becomes your primary router and manages your home network.
  • Access Point Mode: Your existing router continues handling routing, while Deco provides mesh Wi-Fi coverage.

If your current router works well but has poor Wi-Fi coverage, adding a Deco system is often a simple and effective upgrade without replacing your existing internet equipment
