I have just got hyperfibre installed with the new Aginet HB810 modem and I am trying to connect two Be65 decco units to it as the signal is a bit week outside and downstairs. However the supplied app does not recognise the units as not Aginet and the decco app does not recognise the Modem.
Any ideas how to get around this - at the moment I have just plugged one in used that to make a second network for downstairs but not ideal.

Haven't had any experience with the new TP Links or Aginet but try:

switching off WiFi on the HB810
set up the BE65 units in AP mode with DHCP switched off
plug the BE65 units into HB810 via Ethernet backhaul

Hi,

I recently had this issue as well. I had bought an outdoor Deco unit and only the TPLink app recognised it.

I contacted the TP Link support, and after a protracted period of back and forth, the issue was escalated. The reult was a simple not compatible. Most frustrating. Apparently, according to them, 2 Degrees have different software on the HB810 that does not allow it to mesh Deco devices. Why, I don't know. But there must be some logic to it.
