TP Link Deco X60 Setup: Complete Instructions

The TP-Link Deco X60 mesh system is available in 1, 2, or 3 packs. It means, you can have one, two, or three Deco X60 units installed in your house. This blog will shed light on the instructions to complete the TP Link Deco X60 setup. FYI, it will be like general Deco AX3000 setup. The reason being, the mesh units are a part of the same family.

How to Set Up TP-Link Deco X60?

When a Deco mesh system is installed in the house, the first unit that connects to the ONT (optical network terminal) or the modem acts as a router. Other units act as nodes and are called satellite Decos.

Thus, if you already have an existing router in the house, it is recommended that you disconnect it from the modem. However, you have to set up the main router as an access point if you want to connect the Deco X60 unit to the router only. Now, let’s have a look at the steps involved in the TP-Link Deco X60 setup.

Deco X60 Setup Instructions

Here are the complete instructions that must be followed in the correct sequence for the mesh system’s installation:

• First of all, get the TP-Link Deco app from the Google Play Store or App Store of your mobile phone.

• Ascertain that the app version is the latest and the stable one.
• After that, launch the app.
• A login page will show up that will prompt you to log in using the TP Link ID or create a new one.
