TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 Setup Tutorial

The TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 is a mesh system that gives you consistent, fast wireless coverage across your house or workplace. It works with Wi-Fi 6, which means it works better, is quicker, and can handle more devices at once without losing signal.

This tutorial shows you how to set up the Deco X60 from the beginning. It's for individuals who need simple, effective methods.

Why is proper TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 setup important?

First of all, it's Wi-Fi 6. This implies a stronger signal, reduced latency, and better handling of more than one device at a time.

With the mesh system, you can put many units throughout the home, and they will all operate together instead of trying to take over. That's how it fills in all the strange empty spaces.

Also, once it's set up, it generally simply... works. Most crucial is getting the setup right the first time. Let's begin.

What You'll Need Before Starting?

Prepare everything before setting up to speed things up.

• Your modem is already on and operating.

• A smartphone or tablet

• Deco app installed (search for "TP-Link Deco" on iOS or Android)

• An account with TP-Link (or set up in the app; it just takes a minute)

• Your ISP's PPPoE login information (you'll know if they do)

Also, take all the Deco units out of their boxes and store them close by. Don't go overboard; simply keep it basic.

How to Set Up TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 in Steps

1. Hook up the first Deco unit

Choose the primary Deco that you will connect to the modem.

• Turn it on.

• Connect it to the modem using the Ethernet wire.

• The light should start to pulse blue, which implies it is in setup mode.

What if it's not blue? Take it out of the wall, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in.

2. Start the Deco App

• Open the app and log in.

• To add a new device, tap "Let's Begin" or the + sign. Pick Deco X60 from the list of models.

• Do what the screen says to do. It will ask you where the Deco mesh is so that you can keep things organized if you add more later.

3. Make your new network function
Now you may set up your Wi-Fi network.

• Select an easily recognizable name.

• Create a memorable but unguessable password, such as "12345678."

The software will then connect the first Deco to the internet. Don't worry if it takes a minute or two; it could just be slow.

4. Put in the second and third Deco units.
It's time to add the additional units now that the first one is up.

• Put the second Deco someplace between the first unit and a vulnerable zone.

• Connect it. Blue light should come back on.

• Tap "Add another Deco" in the app.

It will sync on its own. If you have a third unit, do the same thing again.

When all the devices display a solid green light, you will know it worked. That means something excellent.

Where to Put Deco Units?
The idea is to keep them visible and spread apart.
Don't put one behind the TV or in a cupboard. If you can, stay away from strong walls.

Some simple thoughts:

• One next to your modem, which is commonly in the living room or hallway

• A second apartment halfway down the hall

• One upstairs, if the home has two floors

Like in a relay race, you want each Deco to have enough signal from the one before it.

After TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 Setup: Tips for Quick Configuration

The app lets you change a lot of essential settings after your network is up and running. You don't have to touch most of them, but here are a handful that are worth looking at:

• Update the firmware
  First thing. Keeps things running smoothly. Do it immediately after you set it up. The software generally tells you what to do.

• Let Fast Roaming work
  Allows your smartphone to switch Deco units effortlessly while roaming the house.

• Enable QoS (Service Quality)

You may give certain devices more priority than others. This is useful if you work from home and don't want Netflix to mess up your Zoom conversations.

• Set up a network for guests
  Guests may use Wi-Fi without sharing a password, which means fewer problems.

Having trouble setting up? Try this

• The blue light isn't blinking
  Press and hold the reset button on the bottom of the machine for 10 seconds. It will start setup mode over again.

• App Not Finding Deco
  Check that both Bluetooth and Location are switched on on your phone. That's all there is to it.

• Can't Connect to the Internet?
  Restart your Deco and modem. Nothing yet? If your ISP employs PPPoE, you may have to type in your login information by hand.

Final Thoughts

The TP-Link Deco X60 Wi-Fi 6 is easy to set up, but doing it right the first time can save you grief. It will keep the pace the same, reduce buffering, and eliminate occasional drop-offs.

Just do as it says, put your units in the right places, and don't worry too much about each setting.

And what if you need to make some changes? The Deco app puts everything in one location. You have control, even if you don't touch it for months.
