- This is the Deco M5 mesh utilizing Starlink's ethernet adapter. Both the Deco routers and Starlink ethernet adapter are pretty inexpensive and well worth it!!
Check out these links to order some of the equipment in the video.

Starlink Ethernet Adapter: amzn.to/3XypXcm
Install starts at 4:20
Cheers for that, mate! Just got ours and now ordering the adapter since we've already had the deco-s. This video saved the day!;)
Great! Glad the video helped out.
Many thanks for this pretty well done video. I hope it continues to work for you and gets better over time.
Thank you so much for watching and hope it helped you out!
Nice video. I appreciate you, and your effort showing us how it's done.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Just what I needed to see. Thank you for this video - nicely put together.
Thanks for watching!
This is the video I was looking for to help me with what I need, thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!
I love my Starlink...other than the no Ethernet port and small router WIFI distance...all can be overcome with the TP and additional e port add on. Thanks for the video, Schmitty
Thank you for watching!
Thanks mate! Just placed an order for the adapter via your referral link :)
Very nice! Thank you so much.
@@schmitty750 No! Thank you, it's a very nice review and walkthrough
How do you add multiple decos? Do they not all need to be connected?
It's at 8:55 in the video.
Getting the gen 3 modem..linking 2 mesh satellite modems..getting 600-800 mbs...so the low speeds you are getting is alarming..ps I'm in the top end ..kimberleys in Australia
Hmmm... that's super fast! Maybe there are more people in East Texas in a closer proximity. I'm very happy with the speeds and hopefully... hopefully they will only speed up. Thanks for watching.
vi algo escrito no site que o roteador V2 se conecta com o V3 na rede mash entre eles mas nao sei se dois roteadores v2 entam na rede entre si
It blows my mind that yours set up so easily. I have the exact same system and deco. I cannot, for the life of me, get it to work. The deco continues to say that the ethernet is not connected. It's odd because I had an extender that worked for years, then we had some crazy storms which fried the extender. My only thoughts are that my ethernet adapter is fried as well or I have a faulty deco system. Wish me luck.
That's no fun! Something must not be working correctly for it to not connect. Good luck!
Duh!@@schmitty750
@southernsnakes3099 what did you end up doing? I’ve tried two different mesh systems and run into a dead end every time with the “Ethernet cable not connected” message. Really really frustrating.
Use a laptop/pc directly on that Starlink ethernet port and see if it connects to the web.
Awesome
Thanks for the information
Yea the Starlink router sucks
Will start looking for Deco
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
How did you scan the home? I see the honeycomb getting created as you move. Please tell me what app did you use?
That fancy stuff is is the Starlink app.
Thanks for this video
You're welcome and thank you for watching.
Hi! Tks for the video! Do you have a link where I can buy the Starlink Ethernet Adaptor? They’re pretty expensive and I don’t know if they are the one that you have.
I put a link in the description for you. Thanks for watching!
How sis you add multiple Deco’s with one Ethernet adapter? Do all Deco’s not need to be wired or can they be wireless?
What was the speed test before you install the deco? I mean the speed test with Starlink router when you’re close to it
It varied a lot because before I had Deco there weren't as many satellites. Speeds were 20 mbps to 100 mbps. It has been more consistently on the higher end now but I got the Deco for coverage. Not sure if it would be faster just adding more Starlink routers?
What’s the difference between this deco and a normal router?
It has a longer wifi range, has multiple channels to streamline, faster speeds and can link to multiple decos. It is better than the starlink router on many ways so that's why I have deco.
How did you add multiple Deco’s with one Ethernet adapter? Do all Deco’s not need to be wired or can they be wireless
Only one deco needs to be wired to the modem/router. The rest just talk to the one that is wired. They all need to be plugged into a power outlet though to power them.
@@schmitty750 Thank you. So one wired and the rest wireless, correct?
@@gthrash1984 correct one wired with ethernet cable. Every deco must be plugged into a power outlet for power though.
do note that you can connect all of them thru LAN cables via daisy-chain (like train-cars).. this is called Ethernet backhaul. advantage is you'll get the full speed for all mesh.. unlike with just wifi backhaul, the speed gets halved for every hop
I guess that could be the case but I seem to get about the same speeds anywhere I go within range. I even have one outside of my shop and it's amazing how far wifi signal will travel outside when it doesn't have to go through walls, windows etc.
Hello and thank you. Can I ask , is that WiFi signal strength an app ?
It is part of the Starlink app.
@@schmitty750 copy that
i wonder if this works vertically? I have a brick and mortar 4 story home. and how many routers can you add maximum?
I'm not sure how many total. I have 3 and have no issues. One thing I did read is that you don't want to jump from extender to extender because it can cause latency and congestion problems.
@@schmitty750 I just ordered a three pack, would order more if needed. thanks for the video!
@stoner27th perfect! Should cover very well I would expect. I would just make you best attempt at putting the main one in somewhat of a central location and the others spread out how you like according to signal strength. Thank you so much for watching.
How to connect the other deco it's 3 pcs?
8:17 I will explain how to connect to the primary deco and also add additional decos.
Thanks for the video. Question, have you also tried not bypassing the Starlink router and configure the tp-link mesh as AP? Im planning to do this, just wondering if you or somebody else tied this set up. Cheers, Sergio
I did not try that. Would it be more beneficial in some way? Let me know how it works!
@@schmitty750 not sure! I thought keeping the Starlink Router will allow monitoring the conection, obstrucion, etc. Is like that? Or you can also access de Starlink app with the Starlink router bypassed?
The starlink app works with the tp deco router. You can also monitor who is on the wifi, create visitor passwords that run slower speeds so they don't slow the primary cinnections.connections. You can see obstructions in the app as well.
Great info! Thanks
Thank you for watching.
It doesn’t need to factory reset ? Just Bypass mode and you can use the deco right?
Starlink just needs to be bypassed so only the Deco is running your wifi.
@@schmitty750 thank you for your fast response thanks for this video
Do you have to set up all devices to new wifi access or can you use old wifi address?
I had to log in all my devices to the new wifi router
Do one of the three white circular devices need to be plugged into the Starlink router via the ethernet cable or can I place all three white round devices around my house and disconnect ethernet cable from Starlink router?
One of the three needs to be plugged into the starlink router via starlink ethernet adapter. Then need to bypass starlink's wifi using the starlink app.
@@schmitty750 unless I’m going crazy, nowhere on my Starlink app can I find a place to bypass Starlink’s wifi. I see both on my phone and I can connect to both when in range of the Starlink router.
@@McRVP under settings, then wifi configuration.
@@schmitty750 is there any reason why I can’t keep both of them? I don’t see anything that says bypass? On the Wi-Fi configuration
1) username and password
2) advanced
3) snow melt
4) stows starlink
5) factory reset Wi-Fi
6) set up another Starlink
7) advanced
@@McRVP my app does not show that part in the settings anymore unless I do a factory reset because I have bypassed the starlink wifi. The app has updated multiple times since so it may be different now. Try settings, wifi configuration, click the little "advanced" drop down, then bypass router.
I’m getting the TP-Link Deco AXE5400 for my StarLink, do I have to do something different?
Not sure I haven't used that one. Deco does a good job step by step in their app.
Is it possible to open the port?（Starlink）
I do not know. That would be something to do a Google search about.
Sorry, maybe i missed it in the video. Dont u need to bypass the starlink router on the app settings?
Yes you do need to bypass the SL router.
@@schmitty750 at what step do we do that?
@neonshiji3595 at the very end after you see that everything is working properly.
Schmidty did you get a new router or does the M5 work as the new router??? When I set it up like you I had two networks, the original Starlink one and the newly named ones with the decos. I was then watching your video again and I heard you say that you bypass to the Starlink router so I thought I would be smart and do what you did and I pressed bypass router within the Starlink app and everything shut down I had to reset the Starlink router and reset up the Netwerk. I don’t understand what I did wrong? I’ll keep trying ultimately I rebooted it and just set the network up as before but now I still have the Starlink router under one name and then the deck goes under another
Yes! Once you have plugged in the primary deco (the one plugged into the starlink ethernet adapter), then you should be able to bypass the starlink router and the primary deco will be your new router. If it's not working then I would say just give it a bit more time and make sure that the lights on the deco are doing what they are supposed to be doing according to the instructions.
@@schmitty750 damn that’s really crazy man. It definitely stopped sending any wifi anywhere within the house?! I’ll keep experimenting though, this stuff is crazy new to me (I’m an apple no-nothing when it comes to “tech”). If I figure out what I did wrong I’ll let you know! Thanks so much for your time and educational videos! I didn’t even know the app had that cool dead spot finder you showed! Absolute Gold to me. Very grateful ✌🏼
Thanks so much for watching the video. Like and subscribe if you get a chance. My channel is very small but growing and everything really helps the channel out.
@@schmitty750 Done!! Thanks again!
@@TriumphDoc so you got it figured out!?
Hi, can you turn off the starlink modem WiFi signal to only maintain the deco’s signal? Thanks
Yes and you should so deco will work faster. Once Deco is up and running you can turn off the starlink wifi signal.
how do i to turn off starlink wifi signal... turn off the starlink router?
@NeoconceptsInc if you open the Starlink app, click settings, click on router tab and the router settings will be under that tab where you can bypass.
There night be another tab under the router tab but I can't remember. Once you bypass the router you do not have access to it anymore unless you factory reset.
How far is your shop from the home mesh router you installed? I’d like to do what you did, but my shop may be 100ft from the house.
About 60'. Main mesh is in the kitchen, which is closest part of the house to the shop. The other mesh is outside of the shop under the lean-to. If humidity kills it over time it's not much of an issue because a single Deco is pretty inexpensive. The Deco mesh outside of the shop sends signal a ridiculously long distance. I've been hundreds of feet away with wifi signal (I guess because it's not going through walls).
@@schmitty750 oh wow! That makes me hopeful! It’s either this mesh, or an access point. I’m going to give the mesh system a try first! Thanks for the info!
@@MrBlawver7 glad I could help. I hope it works for you! I really think it will work. Thank you so much for watching.
Can I open the port?
I'm not sure what you mean?
Is it possible to open the port?

whats that terrible music?
I thought it was your favorite so that's why I used it. Should've called and asked you first, sorry. Thanks for watching... and listening!
