Why Is My TP-Link Device Flashing White? A Quick Guide

One of two things is usually indicated if your TPLink flashing white:

• The firmware on the device is being upgraded.
• It is starting up and connecting to your network.

During initial setup or following a firmware update, this flashing white phase is typical. It might indicate an issue, though, if it continues for longer than ten to fifteen minutes. 

First, make sure you don't turn off or reset the Deco while it's flashing white because doing so could cause the firmware to install incorrectly and damage the gadget.

What you ought to do:

Updates to some firmware may take ten minutes or longer.

• Make sure the Ethernet connection connecting your Deco to the modem is linked to a reliable internet provider.
• Unplug the Deco, wait ten seconds, and then reconnect it if the white flashing continues.
• If that does not work, push the reset button for approximately one second until the LED flashes yellow, indicating that a reset has occurred.

The gadget is prepared for tplink deco setup when the white light goes out and it begins to pulse blue.

To start the setup:

• Get the TP-Link Deco App installed.
• Create a TP-Link ID or log in.
• Use the Deco's temporary Wi-Fi network to connect your phone.
• Create your own Wi-Fi network name and password by following the app's instructions.
• If you would rather set up online, use the Deco's Wi-Fi to go to tplinkdeco.net.
• For maximum coverage, keep your Deco in the middle. Steer clear of walls and electrical interference.
