To install additional Wi-Fi pods

We recommend additional pods to maximize coverage if your home has multiple floors or larger square footage.

Place the pod in the desired location within range of your Wi-Fi signal and connect the pod to a power outlet.
When the light on the pod is solid green, your Wi-Fi is now active. If the light is red, position the additional pod closer to an active pod until the light is green.
Tip: Use your smartphone to test the Wi-Fi strength in the location you are considering for the new pod.

Connecting Wired Devices

Each Wi-Fi Pod is equipped with two ethernet ports
These ports can be used to connect a nearby device.

For example:

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

Download the TP-Link Deco app from the Google Play or Apple App Store.
Use the app to customize your Wi-Fi Network (SSID) name and password.
You will also find other features such as: parental controls, anti-virus, and how to create a separate network for guests.
