Bt Bussiness Hub 6 plus TP-Link Deco M5

vadiro · 11 Mar 2020 at 21:43

Hi,

I have a Bt Business Hub 6 running in router mode and three TP-Link Deco M5 also in router mode.
Because of the double NAT I wanted to set the BT Hub in bridge mode (the reason I actually bought it), but after I do this the Deco is not connecting to the internet.
Could anybody tell me what I could have done wrong?

Cheers,

Have you told the TP Link setup that your connection is PPPoE? You then need to enter the PPPoE credentials that BT Business supplied you. If you're with BT consumer then the username is [email protected], and you can put in any password. If you're with a different ISP then you need to get the details from them.

That was it!
It was set up to Dynamic IP.
Thank you very much!

I had a deco mesh system, and ended up returning it. Just check your speeds. Mine dropped 10mb over the vodafone vox3 router.

Mine have dropped as well. I don't now by how much, because I have not checked.
My plan is to invest in a good "new" WiFi router next year.
