thx for the video. need your advice too 1) connect directly to tm modem 2) connect thru unifi router which one is better? will the jitter make the internet slow?
Hey there. It is just my preference. Connect directly to TM is better as I am having one-hop lesser in the network setup and also easier to detect as a single point of failure. If you have many devices in the network, you may need more time to look into one by one which causes the problem.
@@loubeng3665did you do a speed test? How was it? I just bought mine excited to set it up when I am slightly free as i am planning to use the PPOE option as I find that would be more effective and easier to know what could be the error in the future (if any)
Hello loubeng, thank you for the video instruction! Done setup my mesh m4. I have problem when i connect mesh to my ps4 via LAN cable. Connecting failed. Pls help.
How many Deco you are using? This Deco M4 has 2 ports only each, I am using 2 Deco. One at the living room. Connected to Unifi Modem and TV Box via LAN Cable. Another Deco at 1st Floor connecting to TV Box and MacBook. I don't have problems using the LAN ports.
if you want to use lan port on main node.. you have to do custom vlan setting.. because on new update if we choose unifi-malaysia.. its will set second port on main deco for iptv (unifitv)..
Hi Loubeng, may I know if it is possible to directly connect the Main Deco M4 to other LAN ports of my UNIFI Alcatel Lucel modem instead of my UNIFI TP Link router as my UNIFI TP Link router's port is fully used up.
hi mr.lou, i connected my deco m4 to my modem, but sadly it got red light. i called my isp and they say its no problem. but i cant connect from modem. but if i connect from unifi router, my deco get internet. but if from modem itself, doesnt have internet. how? i followed all the steps
Hi, thank you for your helpful video! I'm planning to try this Deco M4 for my 2 storey house. Just a quick question : may I know if I can connect my desktop via LAN cable to the 2nd port of the main node? Since the 1st node will be connected to TM Unifi Modem. Thanks
Well, my unit can and I have not updated to the latest firmware. Some said the latest firmware will make the 2nd port to become IPTV VLAN for Unifi TV.
Bro, your video really helps, thank you . But I have a question, may I know why you connect deco straight to modem without router? Is there any differences in speed if I connect my deco M4 straight to modem without ISP router?
Sorry for the late reply. Maybe the speed is slightly different but negligible as you add on another hop on routing in the network environment. I removed the Unifi Router because it is a lower end router and I want to have a single point of failure to determine when problems. For example, if the Internet is having an issue, you need to troubleshoot both the Unifi Router and Deco. If you remove the Unifi Router, then you only tackle the problem in Deco. Plus, I don't want to have so many devices connected on my cabinet. One more power source and Wifi Interference if you do no turn off the WiFi radio in the old Unifi Router.
Hello, can you help me? I set up my deco m4 and after creating network it turns out to be solid red light only. I did everything, resetting it for how many times but still. Please help me🙏🥺
You mean after created the wireless network the light turned red? This is strange. What name did you put? Can you put try putting a simple name? English character?
I am sorry, I am not using Maxis. Hence I am not familiar with the VLAN mode. Probably you can try vice versus. The VLAN is either meant for Internet, IPTV, voice, etc.
I have bought the Archer AX10 Wi-Fi Router and Mi Wi-Fi Range Extender Pro to extend my WiFi signal but the speed has reduced by 60% when my devise's connected to the Mi Wi-Fi Range Extender Pro. I wished... I would have known a lot sooner about Mesh WiFi. Anyways, thank you for the very informational video.🙏🏼
I have done everything accordingly, but still couldn’t detect internet connection from e4. I have tried both: directly plug the cable to modem and plug to unifi router, still no signal, red lights shown.
Hi, thank you for the video, it helped me understand how to install M4. But I still have one question, the vlan setting of 500, is it automatic set by the software or you have to set it youeself?
Boleh. Ade dua cara. Pasang Deco directly dari Modem (Unifi wifi router boleh simpan) atau pasang kat existing Unifi wifi router. Jangan cucuk kat Unifi IPTV port.
I dah upgrade router from the original TM one. So sayang pulang kalau nk simpan je. TP Link C2300 router, so sepatutnya no problem to link with Deco. Dari segi speed performance ada beza ke if maintain existing router tambah 1@2 Deco banding dengan guna Deco sahaja? Belum beli Deco, tingkat atas rumah wifi signal weak skit.
Hi Jane, sorry for the late response. There's no LAN cable from the wall. It is a Fibre cable from TM. The Fibre cable is from outside of your house into your Modem. And then only connects LAN (RJ45 cable) to Router.

Is there a way to setup PPoE connection? I haven't found this screen in the web interface nor in the app. Actually, I found the setup very poor, especially comparing with other TpLink routers non mesh.
I’ve removed old router and using M4 as main router. Pretty sure I input PPPoE password correctly and chang VLAN to unifi ald. But still when proceed to testing internet connection stage the M4 is in solid color. Any solution for this?
That's weird. Probably you can update the firmware see if it is resolved your problem? Also do check if the network cable is too old. Use newer cable like Cat6.
Thanks for this helpful video! May I ask if you're aware whether this set up would be possible? I currently have a Deco M5 and Deco M3W. I got the M3W thinking it would help the wifi coverage in my space but it's still not good enough, so I'm thinking of getting an additional M4 to add into the set up. Do you think it's possible to have a set up of M5 (connected to router as AP) and then to M4 (second room) and M3W (third room)?
Do you connect directly to the modem or Maxis router? To be ease, you can try to connect to Maxis router to configure it. I am sorry I can't help much as I am not Maxis fiber user.
Hi there, so recently I just bought this m4 for my maxis fibre but after I set everything up I only get like 100mbps out of my 300mbps plan (I speedtest infront of the deco) Any idea what cause this ? Tq
hmm.. That's pretty weird. You connected from the modem or after Maxis router? I don't think there is any setting to throttle the speed. By spec, it says that supported up to 1167mbps. Perhaps you do a restart? You tested under wifi connection or LAN cable?
i also had same issue.. and the speed was not stable after change it to the mesh wifi network..i connected it to router rather than to modem and its pretty weird the speed slower than connecting direct to old router.
Hi, I'm having a Maxis Fibre 300mbps plan with a TM modem. I'm having an issue when connecting deco m4 to the modem. When I setup, should I choose Dynamic IP or PPPoE? When I choose Dynamic IP (detected), my deco m4 light keep turning red.
Hi there, I believe if you are connecting to the modem, you should use PPPoE. So that you can use Deco to connect to your service provider with PPPoE username and password.
My house is 1,076 sq ft (100 m2) x 2 floors. Internet package from ISP = 30 mbps. Which one is suitable for me to buy, 2 x Deco E4 or 2 x Deco M4? Thank you 🙏
It is automatic for example, if your phone has 2.4GHz the router will connect to the phone using 2.4GHz, but if your Laptop has a 5GHz band, then the deco will automatically connect it to 5GHz.
Apologies for the late reply. SUPER TIGERPRO said it right. It is automatic. I am using two SSID. One as my main "production" wifi. Another one is meant for GUEST. Whoever comes to my house, I will give the GUEST wifi password. Then recycled the password.
helo.. sir.. can teach me.. i already remove my unifi router (orange colour) and i only use same like u.. ..this mesh can make same like unifi router? or can help me.. i cant solve this situation he say cant connect internet.. haizz gg btw i m from melaka :)
Can you tell me where did you get stuck? First thing you need to be sure you have your modem is working. Perhaps you restart your modem. Then only switch on M4. Wait for the M4 blue linking only proceed to setup at the app.
It will run automatically on your devices once you turn on both. You can do it at the Deco App. At the main screen, select More tab->WiFi->WiFi Settings
Hi Good day. Thanks for the video. I managed to set up Deco M4 as a Router > connect to the UNIFI modem directly. I have remove the old router. The speed is much faster. But have a problem > the second Lan port is IPTV/VLAN, 600 How to change the second port to internet 500 so I can connect it to an ACCESS POINT router. Thank you & have a nice day
Can you try to access the router by IP address? Usually, it is 192.168.68.1 or use the Deco App to see if there's such capability to change. Mine is not IPTV so I can't visualize. My firmware is older one, nevertheless taking security risks to maintain the old firmware so that I can use the second port for Android TV Box.
@@loubeng3665 Thank you for your reply. I manage to "enter" the Deco via 192.168.68.1 but there is no function to change the second LAN port to 500. Another question is: how to do a remote management from another location so that I can reboot it.? I am using tp link wr941 in another location & I can remote manage it & reboot it from anywhere in the world. It seem that Deco M4 do not have this function? using the app in my mobile I can see Deco M4 but there is no Reboot function. Thank you & have a nice day
@@putianren Actually, you can use the Deco app to reboot remotely. In the Deco app, click on the Internet logo, then you can choose whichever Deco node, then click on the 3 dots at your top right and select reboot.
@@loubeng3665 Hi Good day Thank you very much for the instruction on how to reboot. THANK YOU ================= Really sorry to trouble you again. Have another question, if you don't mind, please. I think there is no solution but just ask, maybe you have something up your sleeves, LOL. In the DECO, there is NO Mac filtering but have ONLY a Black List. I do NOT need Black List But a White list. A black list is to stop device to connect but how do one knows who to black list when one does not know their Mac Address? With a white list, I can allow all those in the white list to connect. Password can be & will be passed to many unwanted others. Also can be hacked. That's why I am still using old tp link router 941 as Main router & access point router in my business locations because of the mac filtering function. Presently I am using the DECO in my house for testing & speed is good > (Unifi 100). speed is always about 80 to 90, sometimes it goes beyond 100. Better than before. My Business location is Unifi 300 but I only get about 30 to 60, the most is about 80. I think the old tplink941 cannot "grab" the Unifi 300 speed. Right??? I am thinking of using DECO as main router & the second Deco unit to connect to my old tplink 941 as Access point with mac filtering. What do you think? Will the main router & the second Deco GRAB more speed from UNIFI 300?? & TRANSMIT OUT AS WIFI WITH BETTER SPEED? Sorry for the long question & statement. I understand if you have no wish to answer me. Sorry for troubling you MY APOLOGY. THANK YOU & HAVE A NICE DAY ps: I think I will buy another set of DECO for more testing. LOL.
@@putianren Hi there, sorry for late reply. Did not come here often. Each product functions differently. I think this Deco is meant for home use instead of business use. You can only block the device when it appears in the listing. This Deco is useful for parental control though. But if you want to control numbers of user to connect to your wifi. Probably you can set your DHCP Server start IP and end IP. When you have new user to be connected, just amend the end IP and allow that one user to join. And also make use of Address Reservation.
Nak tanya.. kenapa lepas saya update firmware baru yg terkini.. signal wifi 2.4 hilang? Semua device yg bersambung signal 2.4 tidak dapat connect.. Saya telah set Guest signal 2.4 masih tidak ada keluar signal.. ada sesiapa terjadi mcm ni? Ada yang boleh bantu tak?
@@ajaybangi That's right. If you are using Unifi TV, you have to connect via the Unifi Router. It is suggested to disable the WiFi signal from Unifi Router. Use only the Deco Mesh WiFi.
How do I find the Maxis PPPoE username and password without calling to Maxis helpdesk? Because the owner is in overseas. I have the existing maxis router password. But I don't find the username password. (unlike TM unifi). Any solution/suggestion?
Hi there, I think if you can get details from the owner (I assume is your relative/friend) then it is easier to resolve. You can use the Maxis Chat support and pretending you are the owner. They will ask you couple of questions to verify your identity. Usually, they will verify your identity by your registered name, IC number, last payment methods (when and how much), etc. Once verified, then it is easy for you to get back the Maxis ID and password. But to my knowledge, the current router should have the PPPoE details. Maybe can look around again?
@@loubeng3665 Thanks for your response. The owner (relative) is unwell so unable to verify. Anyway I managed to find from the initial bill. But now I have other questions. 1) 500Mbps speed but it degraded tremendously on 2nd & 3rd unit. Less than 100Mbps. 3 storey house. Main deco at 2 storey. 1 storey & 3 storey have less than 100Mbps. 2) Can bypass the existing route and connect direct from the modem?? IF bypass the TPLink router, the fixed phone line will not work because there's no phone port on Deco M4
@@NTChung25 Yes, certainly it can be connected directly to the modem instead of your existing router. That would be better as you are having lesser device to troubleshoot. About the degrading speed, I am not really sure as I have no issue with my 2nd unit on 2nd floor. Perhaps you try to play around placing the Deco. Not too far from the Main Deco.
@@loubeng3665 I personally think that this Deco model not suitable for Maxis fiber broadband. IF bypass the existing maxis router (archer c5r) then I have to sacrifice the fixed phone line. I've emailed to TPLink support team and got their confirmation on this. Now I need to try connect directly to Deco. But it keeps saying username/password is invalid for PPPoE. I've called to Maxis helpdesk to verify on the username/password that I have is correct. I'm still finding what could be the reason.
@@NTChung25 Thanks for sharing the information. My apologies as I do not use Maxis service. Furthermore, when I use Unifi, I am not using the VoIP too. Hence that's not my priority. Hmm.. perhaps you can update the firmware and see if it helps with the authentication. I believe you have to choose the Maxis profile.
Hi, I'm unifi user and my new plan have mesh wifi. But I don't want to install this mesh wifi cuz it seems too much procedures. Can I just leave these devices aside? No matter install or not the mesh wifi still not affect my usual WiFi connection, right?
Apologies for the late reply. If your Unifi package comes with Mesh wifi, you don't need to upgrade again. Unless you are having a big house to cover more area then you have to add more nodes into your existing WiFi.

hi sir. nak tanya. kalau pakai TIME boleh gak ke setup macam ni? sy takboleh direct modem ke mesh. kena cucuk melalui router sedia ada. ada cara ke nak direct modem ke mesh? thank you !
depends on the distance between two deco router，use your phone to test the maximum 5Ghz coverage of the main router and then place your second router within the coverage, but I suggest to use a lan cable to connect your both router together to get maximum speed and stable connection
Can assist how to do " this Deco can be configured as AP mode from your existing router". Mean maintain Unifi router and deco as a wifi speater at floor 1. Thanks
You should have two deco to pair. One connecting to your existing router via cable and another unit can be placed at floor 1. This unit automatically configured as AP mode when you add second Deco in the app.

helo.. sir.. can teach me.. i already remove my unifi router (orange colour) and i only use same like u.. ..this mesh can make same like unifi router? or can help me.. i cant solve this situation he say cant connect internet.. haizz gg btw i m from melaka :)
Can you tell me where did you get stuck? First thing you need to be sure you have your modem is working. Perhaps you restart your modem. Then only switch on M4. Wait for the M4 blue linking only proceed to setup at the app.
And yes, this M4 can directly replace the Unifi router and configured as the main node to connect with PPPoE.
@@loubeng3665 hi Loubeng, how to get my PPPoE username and password?
Hello again sir.can help he..teach step how to set up m4 as a router..i still blank...u got discord or anything we can communicate??vdeo call or so on
@@zarihanraduan Sorry for the late reply. Sometimes it takes time to connect PPPoE. Did you wait for it?
How to set up for 2.4g and 5.0gz ya?
It will run automatically on your devices once you turn on both. You can do it at the Deco App. At the main screen, select More tab->WiFi->WiFi Settings
Hi, I’m experiencing slow internet speed after setting my deco m4 as a router. Can I get a solution for this?
Hmm.. unlikely it will be slowing down. Are you using newer version of modem that supported 100mbps and above?
@@loubeng3665 erm nope, I use the modem provided by tm
@@gy8956 If your modem is too old, it may not be supported.
Bossku set up 3 hari malam pun lampu merah lagi mcm mana ni
Sori, I tgh sibuk x online. Mcm mana Bang connect? Dari Modem ke Deco?
Hi
Good day.
Thanks for the video.
I managed to set up Deco M4 as a Router > connect to the UNIFI modem directly.
I have remove the old router.
The speed is much faster.
But have a problem > the second Lan port is IPTV/VLAN, 600
How to change the second port to internet 500 so I can
connect it to an ACCESS POINT router.
Thank you & have a nice day
Can you try to access the router by IP address? Usually, it is 192.168.68.1 or use the Deco App to see if there's such capability to change. Mine is not IPTV so I can't visualize. My firmware is older one, nevertheless taking security risks to maintain the old firmware so that I can use the second port for Android TV Box.
@@loubeng3665
Thank you for your reply.
I manage to "enter" the Deco via 192.168.68.1
but there is no function to change the second LAN port to 500.
Another question is:
how to do a remote management from another location so that I can reboot it.?
I am using tp link wr941 in another location & I can remote manage it & reboot it from anywhere in the world.
It seem that Deco M4 do not have this function?
using the app in my mobile I can see Deco M4 but there is no Reboot function.
Thank you & have a nice day
@@putianren Actually, you can use the Deco app to reboot remotely. In the Deco app, click on the Internet logo, then you can choose whichever Deco node, then click on the 3 dots at your top right and select reboot.
@@loubeng3665
Hi
Good day
Thank you very much for the instruction on how to reboot.
THANK YOU
=================
Really sorry to trouble you again.
Have another question, if you don't mind, please.
I think there is no solution but just ask, maybe you have something up your sleeves, LOL.
In the DECO, there is NO Mac filtering but have ONLY a Black List.
I do NOT need Black List But a White list.
A black list is to stop device to connect but how do one knows who to black list when one does not know their Mac Address?
With a white list, I can allow all those in the white list to connect.
Password can be & will be passed to many unwanted others.
Also can be hacked.
That's why I am still using old tp link router 941 as Main router & access point router in my business locations because of the mac filtering function.
Presently I am using the DECO in my house for testing & speed is good
> (Unifi 100). speed is always about 80 to 90, sometimes it goes beyond 100. Better than before.
My Business location is Unifi 300 but I only get about 30 to 60, the most is about 80.
I think the old tplink941 cannot "grab" the Unifi 300 speed. Right???
I am thinking of using DECO as main router & the second Deco unit to connect to my old tplink 941 as Access point with mac filtering.
What do you think?
Will the main router & the second Deco GRAB more speed from UNIFI 300?? & TRANSMIT OUT AS WIFI WITH BETTER SPEED?
Sorry for the long question & statement.
I understand if you have no wish to answer me. Sorry for troubling you
MY APOLOGY.
THANK YOU & HAVE A NICE DAY
ps: I think I will buy another set of DECO for more testing. LOL.
@@putianren Hi there, sorry for late reply. Did not come here often. Each product functions differently. I think this Deco is meant for home use instead of business use. You can only block the device when it appears in the listing. This Deco is useful for parental control though. But if you want to control numbers of user to connect to your wifi. Probably you can set your DHCP Server start IP and end IP. When you have new user to be connected, just amend the end IP and allow that one user to join. And also make use of Address Reservation.
Nak tanya untuk unifi tv punya lan cable cucuk kt port 2 kan?
Betul
Nak tanya.. kenapa lepas saya update firmware baru yg terkini.. signal wifi 2.4 hilang? Semua device yg bersambung signal 2.4 tidak dapat connect..
Saya telah set Guest signal 2.4 masih tidak ada keluar signal.. ada sesiapa terjadi mcm ni? Ada yang boleh bantu tak?
Speed laju tak? Sbb 2.4ghz dgn 5ghz masa sekarang software dia combine.
Ye, actually combined punye.
dont have vlan at ppoe
Hi, once we set this up, both 2.4ghz & 5ghz wifi shall be available at those areas?
Yes it is, automatically and depends on your supported devices.
@@loubeng3665 thx. If i want to use unifi tv, i can't replace the unifi router right? Just connect the node to unifi router via LAN
@@ajaybangi That's right. If you are using Unifi TV, you have to connect via the Unifi Router. It is suggested to disable the WiFi signal from Unifi Router. Use only the Deco Mesh WiFi.
How do I find the Maxis PPPoE username and password without calling to Maxis helpdesk? Because the owner is in overseas. I have the existing maxis router password. But I don't find the username password. (unlike TM unifi). Any solution/suggestion?
Hi there, I think if you can get details from the owner (I assume is your relative/friend) then it is easier to resolve. You can use the Maxis Chat support and pretending you are the owner. They will ask you couple of questions to verify your identity. Usually, they will verify your identity by your registered name, IC number, last payment methods (when and how much), etc. Once verified, then it is easy for you to get back the Maxis ID and password. But to my knowledge, the current router should have the PPPoE details. Maybe can look around again?
@@loubeng3665 Thanks for your response. The owner (relative) is unwell so unable to verify. Anyway I managed to find from the initial bill.
But now I have other questions.
1) 500Mbps speed but it degraded tremendously on 2nd & 3rd unit. Less than 100Mbps. 3 storey house. Main deco at 2 storey.
1 storey & 3 storey have less than 100Mbps.
2) Can bypass the existing route and connect direct from the modem?? IF bypass the TPLink router, the fixed phone line will not work because there's no phone port on Deco M4
@@NTChung25 Yes, certainly it can be connected directly to the modem instead of your existing router. That would be better as you are having lesser device to troubleshoot. About the degrading speed, I am not really sure as I have no issue with my 2nd unit on 2nd floor. Perhaps you try to play around placing the Deco. Not too far from the Main Deco.
@@loubeng3665 I personally think that this Deco model not suitable for Maxis fiber broadband. IF bypass the existing maxis router (archer c5r) then I have to sacrifice the fixed phone line.
I've emailed to TPLink support team and got their confirmation on this. Now I need to try connect directly to Deco. But it keeps saying username/password is invalid for PPPoE. I've called to Maxis helpdesk to verify on the username/password that I have is correct. I'm still finding what could be the reason.
@@NTChung25 Thanks for sharing the information. My apologies as I do not use Maxis service. Furthermore, when I use Unifi, I am not using the VoIP too. Hence that's not my priority. Hmm.. perhaps you can update the firmware and see if it helps with the authentication. I believe you have to choose the Maxis profile.
Hi, I'm unifi user and my new plan have mesh wifi. But I don't want to install this mesh wifi cuz it seems too much procedures. Can I just leave these devices aside? No matter install or not the mesh wifi still not affect my usual WiFi connection, right?
Apologies for the late reply. If your Unifi package comes with Mesh wifi, you don't need to upgrade again. Unless you are having a big house to cover more area then you have to add more nodes into your existing WiFi.
@@loubeng3665 thx for reply...but I means i had purchased the new plan with mesh wifi, when this mesh wifi devices products delivered to me, I don't want to do the setup cuz it seems difficult...is it possible if I just sell the devices or just leave it aside? Will my WiFi or even the bill be affected if I don't setup the mesh wifi?
@@sijianliaw2846 Hmm. TM doesn't help you to setup? You subscribed to the new plan later is it? What I know you got to pay an additional of Rm15 for mesh devices. Just like an installment for 2 years. Actually not a very difficult task to setup. But if you don't setup, your loss is only the wifi coverage. Mesh Wifi supposed to eliminate your blind zone and covered with better wifi.
@@loubeng3665 I purchase the plan without knowing what is mesh wifi.. Just the devices delivered to me then I know I need to setup this things...

hi sir. nak tanya. kalau pakai TIME boleh gak ke setup macam ni? sy takboleh direct modem ke mesh. kena cucuk melalui router sedia ada. ada cara ke nak direct modem ke mesh? thank you !
Srry bro, I x de TIME so x bleh confirm. Tapi spec-nya memang ada mention TIME supported.
@@loubeng3665 ouh. Baik2. Thank you. Tp procedure dia lebih kurang sama je laa kan?
@@ahmadnazirulmubinabdullati8751 I think so. Asalkan Mesh connects to Modem dan bleh buat PPPoE setup.
Will it halves the speed like repeater do?
No it doesn't. That's the different technology compared to Repeater.
depends on the distance between two deco router，use your phone to test the maximum 5Ghz coverage of the main router and then place your second router within the coverage, but I suggest to use a lan cable to connect your both router together to get maximum speed and stable connection
Idky but everytime when i was setting up, at the end when it's testing the internet, the deco will turn solid red, whys that? Plz help tq
Are you connecting directly from modem?

You should have two deco to pair. One connecting to your existing router via cable and another unit can be placed at floor 1. This unit automatically configured as AP mode when you add second Deco in the app.

@@boonlim1060 I am sorry I don't quite understand now what you are trying to achieve.
it's true if we use m4 as router it's will get overheating?

Hi may I know how to get my PPPoE username n password? I want to direct link to my TM modem
You can:
1. Call TM to get the details.
2. Login to your current router to view.
3. Your confirmation slip email from TM . But I understand new applicants TM no longer send email.
Anyway, apologies for the late reply.
