What You’ll Need

Step 1 – should be followed in the ventilation system.
The most important aspect of using a Deco mesh system to get great Wi-Fi coverage in your home is where to place the units. They should be plugged into one unit to your modem and then strung across the middle of all your floors in your house. Place the Deco units in space (do not cover them with curtains or put other objects between them). The Deco unit with the better coverage is the one that is positioned as close to the center of your house as possible.
Step 2 – Connecting Your Xfinity Modem
First, ensure that your Xfinity modem has been switched on and this must be connected with a coaxial cable to the Xfinity line using the ethernet cable plugged into the modem’s LAN port. If for some reason you require to change its settings, if you need to activate service, or input admins credentials, first plug a computer directly into the modem via ethernet cable.
Step 3 – Connect the Primary Deco Unit to Your Modem
Now let’s get started: grab one of your Deco XE75 devices and plug it into your Xfinity modem with the CAT5 Ethernet cable provided. Insert one part in the LAN port of your modem and connect the other part to the ethernet port at the back of this first Deco. This will become your main Deco router and is directly connected to the modem.
Step 4 – Tether App Download and Configuration of the System
Next, download the TP-Link Tether app, available at the iOS App Store and the Android Market. The Tether app enables users to quickly create and configure a common mesh Deco network.
The first step is to open the Tether application on your smartphone and tablet and choose the “Start New Setup” option. The app is intuitive, and self-explanatory, guiding you through the configuration of the Deco system, providing you with the ability to create a network name and password and the option to manage connected devices. During the setup, connect the rest of your Deco units to the electrical outlets in the other rooms where you wish to have Wi-Fi connectivity.
The utility setup will guide you on linking the satellite Deco units with the primary router unit or setting up the Wi-Fi options. The units themselves rely on TP-Link’s Decos Mesh Technology to offer the same single network and easily operate in harmony to ensure your home is covered with stable, high-speed connections.
