Configure TP-Link Deco device as a Wi-Fi Router on Eir FTTH (F3000)

You don't need to select PPPoE with Eir, select Dynamic IP.

You need to set VLAN ID 10 also, it should be under Advanced > Network > IPTV/VLAN. Mode - Custom, Internet VLAN ID - 10.

You can just input something random for those - 200, 300 etc.

Does the router have VLAN tag settings?

Did you set that? I think it should be set to VLAN ID = 10

I need help ,

Recently got Eir Fibre installed to the home , first few weeks were great , I’ve bought 2 eir WiFi boosters for my room and my brothers room to plug into our PlayStations by Ethernet cable , once again first week or so was great getting 500mbs speed with no drops , in the last week the boosters will randomly drop and turn off and on , I presume these eir boosters are just trash.

I’m looking at getting the TP-LINK Deco M4 for our rooms , is it as easy as buying them and connecting them to the Eir fibre box downstairs and then just moving them up to our rooms and plugging them into our PlayStations by Ethernet again ? I’m just thinking that the TP links are a better product and won’t result in drops!?

Thanks for the reply !,

Using WiFi on the consoles is only giving speeds of 84 mbps and constantly lagging , using the boosters connected to PlayStation by lan cable is giving 495 mbps and no lag at all , either way the booster still drops randomly.

Maybe I’m better off getting another eir booster and putting it halfway between modem and boosters in our rooms?
From reading online the general consensus is that the eir booster/fibre box is cheap and that the tp links are much better

thank you ! Just happened again today , it’s actually the main modem that randomly drops not just the boosters , any recommendations?

thanks for all your help that’s exactly what I’ll do

I’m currently on FTTC 40/10 🙄 with FTTH a year away! I opted out of the VoiP at the time you could so have PSTN for the home phone. I think you can tell them to keep the PSTN with FTTH or are they saying no noting they want it phased out?

eir WiFi dropping 3/4 times a day , I’ve got 3 Deco M4’s and have tried setting them up by plugging the main straight into the ONT and having eir modem plugged out , the main deco (plugged into ONT) is in my sitting room downstairs (small 3 bedroom house in an estate) the 2nd deco is directly above this sitting room in my bedroom , and the third one is also upstairs in another bedroom , the 2 upstairs don’t get above 80mbps where as before I was using eir boosters up there and getting 450mbps upstairs , I need answers on how to get the same speeds upstairs with the deco boosters as I was with the eir ones please

Ah I see , so do you think maybe my best option to stop eir from dropping is to maybe setup the deco’s plugged into the eir router (having both on) and connecting all devices downstairs like tv’s phones etc. to the deco and my gaming devices upstairs to the eir boosters ? Tbh I just want to stop eir from dropping randomly and feel it may be from having too many devices on it ,

Thanks for your help

For anyone with a Deco BE85 or 95, security updates are ceasing this September! I only just bought two 2-packs this month 🙄. It seems crazy for a system just launched 3 years ago.

Hi all ,Back again…

Since I’ve changed to eir 2 months ago it’s been nothing but a mess with WiFi dropping non stop after the first week , I’ve tried everything such as trying a mesh system with tp link deco M4 (only to find out that the M4’s are useless for a mesh system) 

anyway my current problem is eir have just sent me out a new modem , I’ve set it up and it’s working but now both of my eir boosters will not connect to this new modem no matter what I try , I’ve plugged them into the modem with Ethernet , I’ve tried WPS, I’ve tried resetting the boosters , nothing working. Both boosters are just constantly flashing red (link light) 

please can somebody help!

None of my tp links will connect to internet when setting them up from scratch plugged into eir router , go through the setup and light goes red for no internet connection , I’ve changed the dynamic ip clan to 10 and no joy , I’ve tried access point mode too no joy

I’ve tried that too , decos still red light , even if I wanted it connected to the router it should still work as it did before but they don’t work at all anymore

Try factory resetting the units -
