Installing a Rural Internet Router

Set up your Deco

First let's start by setting up the Deco network. Get the TP-Link Deco app for iOS or Android, then follow the app to walk through the setup.

1. Get the Deco app
   Scan the QR code below or go to Google Play or the App Store to download the Deco app. Install the app on your Android or iOS smartphone or tablet.
   
    
2. Log in or sign up with TP-Link ID
   Open the app and log in with your TP-Link ID. If you don’t have a TP-Link ID, create one first. 
   Note: If you forgot your login password, tap "Forgot Password?" The app will help you reset your password.
    
3. Select your Deco model
   Search for and select your Deco model. If you have more than one Deco model, tap the question below the search box to check how to maximize the overall network.
   
4. Plug in your Deco
   Connect your Deco directly to the Ethernet outlet in the Rural Internet power supply.
   
5. Connect to your Deco's Wi-Fi
   Connect your phone/tablet to the Deco's Wi-Fi using the default SSID printed on the product label.
   
6. Specify your Deco's location
   Select or custom a location for your Deco. The location will be used as the name of your Deco.
   
7.  Connect your Deco to the internet
   Select the internet connection type and enter the information. If you are not sure, contact your internet service provider.
   
8. Create your Wi-Fi network
   Set a network name and a password. These will be the name and password you use to connect your devices to Wi-Fi.
   
9. Connect to your Wi-Fi network
   Connect your phone/tablet to the Deco's Wi-Fi.
   
10. Setup complete
    Your Deco network is now up. You can connect your devices to the Deco network.
