So I now own both of these, because I wanted the mesh network for my apartment. Is there any benefit to connecting the M9 Plus to my D-Link modem/router, or am I better off just connecting the M9 Plus directly into the NBN box?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, I just didn't know where else to get a simple answer

    What sort of NBN? Fibre?

      HFC

    Plugin the Deco M9 into the HFC nbn box. The D-Link DVA2800 isn't serving any purpose.

    Turn off D-Link wifi if you keep the existing setup

    With HFC you need NBN connection box … then a modem … then a wifi router. Your Dlink is a combined modem + wifi router. So you need to turn wifi off on that D-link, and keep using it as a modem, then hook your Tplink deco to it. Deco M9 will do wifi routering, and Dlink serving as modem.

      I just plugged the Deco straight into the NBN box. working pretty great. is there any benefit to putting the Dlink in the middle?

        Probably not. Some modems have the telephone line connection that people required

        No benefit. The D-Link DVA2800 is doing nothing.

      That is not right. The NBN box for HFC is a modem.

      NBN HFC box (modem) + TP-Link Deco M9 (router and Wi-Fi) = all you need.

        I am not sure. With mine one, I still need a modem between.

          Are you using a VoIP telephone from your ISP with Telstra, TPG or Optus?

          • JinT on 27/08/2021 - 14:00

            @Twix: TPG

            • Twix on 27/08/2021 - 14:00

              @JinT: Noted. Is that with or without VoIP?

              • JinT on 27/08/2021 - 14:01

                @Twix: With voip

                • Twix on 27/08/2021 - 14:02

                  @JinT: Leave your setup how it is if you want to keep VoIP. With TPG they make you use their provided modem for VoIP telephone.

                @Twix: So without voip, we do not need the modem between then?
