Anyone doing dynamic VLANs on wifi?

I have it working on TP Link Deco M5 APs. These are not yet officially supported, but will be soon, and they work just fine. You cannot use 802.11r fast roaming because this often loses the VLAN and dumps the STA back onto the default/base network. You need to configure using /etc/config/wireless ra

Reasonable Home Network Setup?

people, quit downvoting OP. they are obviously beginner and are eager to learn. that's a good thing. on consumer hardware, enabling a "guest network" will, in reality, set up a separate VLAN in the backend of the system- hidden away from the user. the reason why it's only available via wifi on consu

Sky Stream UI is abysmal

Happy Sky Stream user here. Been using it for about 3 months and it’s fine. We don’t have full fibre to our house as it’s not available in my area. We use a 5G router with unlimited data plan connected to a set of Deco M5 hubs. My two Sky Stream boxes are connected by Ethernet to the nearest Deco hu

Best budget option for mesh wifi with dual band.

I'd go with the TP-Link Deco M5 solid budget mesh, dual-band, easy setup. Covers your size home fine. Wi-Fi 6 is nice, but not a must unless you’ve got a lot of newer devices. Deco M5 (Wi-Fi 5) should be enough.

They think I'm crazy

The latency is really specific to everyone’s own setup and then the things they don’t have control over, external factors right behind the router all the way to Nvidia. What works for you might not work for everyone. I’ll say I have really rarely issues and most of the time I’m using a wired connect

Mesh network device

I’ve been using TP Link Deco M5 for 4 years. I bought six, three are in my house, one is on my back deck, one is in a garage and one is in an outdoor boathouse. I was able to blanket my whole yard (3 different buildings) in a mesh. The three that are not in the house, have been exposed to outdoor am

Tenho o antigo deco m5 (3 pontos) e já instalei deco em pelo menos 6 casas de 2 andares da família. Todo mundo satisfeito sem nenhum problema. Aqui em casa os decos estão cabeados entre si, mas nas outras não e funciona mto bem. Recomendo

Qual roteador vocês utilizam em casa? Fizeram algum upgrade esse ano?

Eu uso roteador da operadora com Wi-Fi desligado e Deco M5 com ethernet backhaul pra minha rede doméstica. Tenho uns switches burros pela casa pra fazer bifurcação e um switch semi-gerenciável no escritório pra ligar as máquinas via ethernet etc. Trabalho com TI, então fico pensando em tirar o equip

Welke internetprovider geeft mij de beste wifi-dekking in huis?

Ik had dat probleem jaren geleden in mijn vroegere huis. Een setje van drie TPLink Deco M5 mesh routertjes loste dat op.
