Hello all,
New to the forums and a new OpnSense user. Just beginning to get the details down of OpnSense setup and use, but one thing I wanted to ask before I go any further is if the TP-Link Deco Mesh Hardware / Setup is compatible with OpnSense
https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Deco-Whole-Home-System/dp/B07PS6X293?th=1
Still learning / reading up on the OpnSense Firewall / Router, but I have this system at home currently running on my ISP's Router and want to keep the system in place in my home, but also want to use a better, more configurable routing / firewall solution like OpnSense.
Thanks for the assistance!

Should work: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/1842/
NB I have no personal experience from this product

Thanks

Did you ever get the TP-Link Deco to work with OPNsense? Every time I put it behind the OPNsense, it claims it can't connect to the internet. Yet PCs have no issue. Just curious if you ever got it to work.

Hi grafikal,
Not specific to the TP-Link Deco but I got caught out with this when adding an Orbi-Pro Mesh to my old router/FW.
The issue turned out to be that I needed to set the Orbi in bridge mode - otherwise it was fighting with the router.
Worth trying if you haven't already.

I have no issues running TP-Link Deco with Opnsense. Just make sure to put it into Access Point mode (bridge mode) by going to Advance -> Operation mode, and reboot all system.
