Setting Up Your High Speed Internet Service and Wi-Fi Network

Begin your Wi-Fi set up after your technician visit is complete or after your installation window has passed.

Step 2 – Connect and power devices

Connect one end of the ethernet cable to LAN port 1 of your modem and the other end to any port on your Wi-Fi pod.

Plug the power supply for your modem and Wi-Fi pod into a power outlet.

The light on the top of the Wi-Fi pod should proceed from yellow to blue, then remain steady on green. This can take about 5 minutes.

If the light is red , reboot the modem and Wi-Fi pod by unplugging the power adaptors.

Wait 30 seconds, then plug back in the modem. Wait another 30 seconds, and plug in the Wi-Fi pod.

Step 3 – Connect to Wi-Fi

Go to Wi-Fi settings on a device you would like to connect, and search for available Wi-Fi networks.

Select the Wi-Fi Network (SSID) and enter the password that matches those found on the bottom of your Wi-Fi pod.

Customize Your Wi-Fi Name and Wi-Fi Password

Download the TP-Link Deco app from the Google Play or Apple App Store.

You will also find other features such as: parental controls, anti-virus and how to create a separate network for guests.

That’s it, you should now be ready to enjoy your Distributel Wi-Fi!

Boost your Wi-Fi signal and coverage with additional pods

For best results we recommend a Wi-Fi pod on every floor; call us today to add additional pods.

Follow these easy steps to set up your additional Wi-Fi pod(s):

1. Place the additional Wi-Fi pod where you want it and plug it into a power outlet.
2. When the light on the top of the Wi-Fi pod is solid green, your additional pod is now connected to your Wi-Fi network. This can take up to 5 minutes.

Connecting Wired Devices

Each Deco M5 Wi-Fi pod is equipped with two ethernet ports

Your modem will take one port on your main Wi-Fi pod. The second port or additional pods can be used to connect a nearby device.

For example:

  • Home Phone Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA)
  • TV Set Top Box
  • Gaming Console
  • Computer
