Q: QuestionWhat is the max room temp the unit can operate? I need to hook the unit up in the enclosed storage space under a camper.

Asked 9 months ago by Phill.

• A:Answer You should never setup a router in an enclosed space. It’s an outdoor router, so it can handle the elements. Routers lose a lot of signal in an enclosed situation. If it has to be enclosed make sure the encloser is decent in size and out of the direct sunlight, but again don’t recommend that.

Q: QuestionSame as previous question, except the building is block and concrete. Will this work through cinder block walls?

Asked 1 year ago by Dave.

• A:Answer Hi Dave, Similarly, as with the other question involving a metal garage — solid block, or brick walls may impact connectivity, depending on node placement, obstructions, and how far away the Deco is from the nearest indoor Deco node. Additionally, whether you intend to connect the Deco BE65-Outdoor via Mesh Wi-Fi or via Ethernet, your results may vary.

Q: QuestionI have a existing TP-Link mesh system. I know I can connect this to my existing system and the location I want to place it is within the required distance. If I place this in a metal garage will the it be able to connect?

Asked 1 year ago by Pat.

• A:Answer Hi Pat, If the garage is made entirely of metal, then it may drastically impact connectivity, if not outright block it. This is due to the nature of Wi-Fi and how it interacts with different materials. Depending on how far away the garage is from the nearest indoor Deco node, and whether you intend to connect the Deco BE65-Outdoor via Mesh Wi-Fi or via Ethernet, your results may vary.
