    Hi, this is to provide guidance to anyone who has, or is considering, installing a TP-Link Deco mesh router (in my case Deco BE65/BE9300) as a direct replacement to the Eir supplied F3000 fibre box.

    Plug the Ethernet RJ-45 terminated cable from the fibre termination box into any WAN capable Ethernet port of the router.

    Configure the Deco router via the Deco smartphone app with the following settings:

    Operation Mode: Wi-Fi Router (default)
    IPv4: Manual Configuration...
    Internet Connection Type: PPPoE
    Username: eircom@eircom.net
    Password: broadband1
    DNS Address: Auto
    Advanced: Not used
    MTU Size: 1480 (default)
    IPv6: Auto Configuration
    IPTV/VLAN: Enabled
    ISP Profile: Custom
    Internet VLAN: On
    VLAN ID: 10
    VLAN Priority: 0
    IPTV VLAN: Off

    Note that with these routers, initial DHCP for LAN clients will likely not function until an internet connection has established.

    Sorry for digging this one up but I got the BE65 today and using the app I cannot get it to work.

    Did you run the rj45 direct to the BE65 or through the eir modem?

    App doesn't allow me to turn off IPTV/vlan either.

    I've tried everything and Just can't get it to connect to the internet. :(

    EDIT: I got this sorted this evening.

    Weird solution,I tried a different unit from the three pack and it worked perfectly first thing.

    All three are up and running and coverage is excellent!

    this is a late bump but having the same issue.

    Tried four separate Deco M5s but no luck.

    Using PPPOE

    eir@eir.ie / broadband1

    VLAN ID =10 / Priority =0

    I get a solid red light on the Deco.

    Any ideas 🤯

    Change the internet connection type to Dynamic IP. Report back.

    Will Dynamic IP work if I connect straight to the Fibre ONT box? I thought it would at least need the PPPOE settings?

    With Eir, you’re always connecting straight to the ONT. My neighbour is with Eir, I have her Deco connected to direct the ONT with Dynamic IP set.
