To set up the Deco mesh system, you will have to do some basic preparations that are mentioned below:

Ensure that your modem is up and running. In easy words, it must be getting an internet connection from the ISP.

How to Set Up TP-Link Deco AX5000 Mesh?

Setting up the mesh system is quite effortless with the Deco app. Thus, you need to install the latest version of the Deco application on the mobile phone. However, after the setup is completed, you can use the TP-Link Deco login address to manage the network configuration. To set up the mesh WiFi, follow these steps:

Login to the Deco App

Launch the Deco application on your mobile phone.
You will get welcomed by a screen labeled “Welcome to Deco”.
Create a TP-Link ID.
In case, you already have an ID, log in using the required details.

Start the Setup

Now, you should select the Let’s Begin option.
Choose the Deco model. Here, it is AX5000.
On the app, verify that you have all the contents available in the mesh system.

Connect Your Modem and Deco

The app will now prompt you to reboot your modem.
You will have to remove the backup battery of the modem if it uses any.
Now, grab the Ethernet cable and connect one of the Deco units to the modem with its help.
Power on the Deco AX5000 now.

Follow the Setup Steps on the App

As soon as the modem’s Internet light gains stability, enable Bluetooth on your phone.
If your Deco is pulsing blue, it means you can proceed with the installation.
Connect your mobile phone to default SSID of Deco AX5000. FYI, it is printed on the bottom label of your Deco unit.
Now, select the location where you are going to use the Deco.
Choose the Connection type.
Give WiFi name and password.
