If you want to boost your home WiFi coverage without swapping out your main router, you can easily setup tp link deco as access point mode.  This mode lets your Deco mesh system stretch your current network, while the main router stays the one in charge, or at least it does the “leading” part.

Steps to set up TP-Link Deco in Access Point mode  

1. Connect the main Deco unit to your existing router using an Ethernet cable.  

2. Grab the TP-Link Deco app on your smartphone, then open it up.  

3. Finish the usual basic Deco setup steps first.  

4. Open the Deco app and go to More > Advanced > Operation Mode.  

5. Choose Access Point Mode, then save, don’t forget the save button.  

6. Wait a bit while the Deco system reboots on its own.

After you do that, your Deco devices will act as WiFi access points and you should get that smooth mesh roaming feeling across the whole home.

Why pick Access Point Mode?  

- Less WiFi dead spots  

- Better wireless reach  

- Keeps working with your existing router  

- More seamless mesh handoff  

- More steady internet connection  

Deco Firmware Update tips  

For the best, calm and steady performance, make it a habit to do a regular Deco firmware update. Updates help patch security, remove little bugs, and keep the network stable. So open the Deco app, check if anything new is out, then install the latest firmware as soon as it shows up.

Conclusion  

Setting up tp link deco as access point mode is pretty simple, even if you’re not a networking person. With the right configuration and regular Deco Firmware Update checks, you can get fast, steady, and dependable WiFi across your whole home or office.
