        "content": "Could you clarify what you mean by \"dinamic mode\"? Did you mean **Dynamic IP** (a type of internet connection), **Access Point Mode**, or **Router Mode** on a TP-Link mesh system? These settings are quite different and it's important to know exactly which one you\u2019re after.\n\n---\n\nHere\u2019s how to enable both **Dynamic IP** and switch between **Router** / **Access Point (AP) Modes** on TP-Link Deco / mesh systems. If your device is the *Deco BE25* (also referred to sometimes as \u201cB25\u201d), the steps will be similar.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Dynamic IP\n\nDynamic IP (sometimes called DHCP mode) is the connection type where your ISP automatically assigns an IP to your device.\n\nTo set this:\n\n1. Open the **Deco app** on your phone/tablet.  \n2. During initial setup (or via settings later), there should be a page called **\u201cConnect your Deco to the internet\u201d** or **\u201cInternet Connection Type\u201d**. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/ro/support/faq/3753/?app=kasa&utm_source=openai))  \n3. Select **Dynamic IP** as the connection type. If needed, leave VLAN/IPTV settings disabled unless your ISP instructed otherwise. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/ro/support/faq/3753/?app=kasa&utm_source=openai))  \n\nIf your Deco is already setup:\n\n- Go into the Deco app \u2192 More / Advanced \u2192 Internet settings.  \n- Change the connection type to **Dynamic IP**.  \n- Save/apply changes.\n\n---\n\n## 2. Mode of Operation (Router Mode vs Access Point Mode)\n\nThis is probably what you meant by \u201cdynamic mode\u201d \u2014 which could refer to switching between Router Mode (Deco acts as your main router) and Access Point Mode (Deco extends an existing router without doing NAT/DHCP for the network).\n\nTo change this:\n\n1. In the **Deco app**, go to **More** \u2192 **Advanced Settings** \u2192 **Operating Mode** or **Operation Mode**. ([b4rn.org.uk](https://b4rn.org.uk/support/mesh-access-point-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n2. You\u2019ll see options for **Router Mode** and **Access Point Mode**. Pick Access Point mode if you already have a router handling DHCP/NAT, and you want Deco just to provide Wi-Fi/mesh coverage. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/ph/support/faq/3753/?utm_source=openai))  \n3. When you switch modes, Deco will reboot/do whatever is necessary to apply it. ([b4rn.org.uk](https://b4rn.org.uk/support/mesh-access-point-mode?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me the exact model (hardware version) and your region, I can walk you through step-by-step specific to your device."

        "content": "It seems like by \u201cdinamic mode\u201d you meant \u201cDynamic IP\u201d or possibly \u201cAccess Point mode\u201d (sometimes called bridging or AP mode). Here\u2019s how to enable those modes on a TP-Link Deco / Mesh network (including the Deco B25 model, if that's what you meant):\n\n---\n\n## Dynamic IP (Internet Connection Type)\n\nThis is how you have your Deco get an IP automatically from your ISP (typical when using DHCP).\n\n1. Open the **Deco app** on your smartphone/tablet.  \n2. Go through the setup process, or if you\u2019ve already set it up, go to *More \u2192 Advanced Settings \u2192 Internet Connection Type*.  \n3. Select **\u201cDynamic IP\u201d** as the connection type.  \n4. Turn off any **IPTV / VLAN** settings unless your ISP asked you to specifically enable them. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/no/support/faq/3753/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Access Point Mode (AP Mode)\n\nIf by \u201cdynamic mode\u201d you meant AP Mode\u2014i.e., you already have a router and just want the mesh system to extend Wi-Fi without doing its own routing / NAT\u2014that\u2019s how you do it:\n\n1. Make sure your Deco network is fully set up in the Deco app.  \n2. Update both your **Deco firmware** and the **Deco app** on your device to their latest versions. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/latam/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n3. In the Deco app, tap **More \u2192 Advanced Settings \u2192 Operation Mode**. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/latam/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Select **Access Point mode**. The app will warn you that the Deco will reboot to switch modes. Confirm, and wait for the reboot (usually about 2 minutes). ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/latam/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Key Differences and Things to Know\n\n- In **Router Mode**, Deco handles NAT, DHCP, routing, firewall. Deco\u2019s full feature set (parental controls, antivirus, port forwarding, etc.) are usually available. ([service-provider.tp-link.com](https://service-provider.tp-link.com/uk/faq/471/?utm_source=openai))  \n- In **Access Point Mode**, Deco extends your existing router\u2019s network. Deco only broadcasts Wi-Fi, and your existing router handles IP address assignment, routing, etc. Deco\u2019s advanced features tend to be unavailable in this mode (things like port forwarding, QoS, address reservation) ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/latam/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Make sure your existing router still has DHCP server enabled if you\u2019re using AP mode. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/latam/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me your exact Deco model (B25?), your current firmware version, and whether you want your Deco to *replace* your router or *just extend* it, I can give you step-by-step instructions specific to your setup."

        "content": "Here are the specific, step-by-step instructions\u2014tailored for TP-Link Deco mesh devices (which includes your B25, assuming it works like recent Deco models)\u2014to enable **Dynamic IP** connection type and/or switch between **Router Mode** and **Access Point Mode** (AP Mode). I\u2019ll also explain what you\u2019ll lose or gain with each mode so you can pick what\u2019s best for your setup.\n\n---\n\n### Before You Start\n\n- Make sure your Deco system is **fully set up** already via the Deco app. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Update Deco\u2019s firmware to the latest version. In the app, go *More \u2192 System \u2192 Update Deco*. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Also make sure you have the latest version of the Deco app on your phone. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Set Up Dynamic IP (Internet Connection Type)\n\nWhen you install the Deco or change its internet connection settings:\n\n1. Open the **Deco app** and log in.  \n2. Go to *More \u2192 Advanced Settings \u2192 Internet Connection Type* (or a similar menu).  \n3. Select **Dynamic IP** (sometimes shown as DHCP / \u201cAutomatically obtain IP address\u201d).  \n4. Leave **IPTV/VLAN settings** disabled unless your ISP specifically instructed you to use them. ([service-provider.tp-link.com](https://service-provider.tp-link.com/nordic/faq/678/?utm_source=openai))  \n5. Save or apply the change. Your Deco should now request its IP address automatically from your ISP or upstream router.  \n\n---\n\n### Switching Between Router Mode and Access Point Mode\n\nThis controls whether the Deco handles routing/DHCP/NAT (Router Mode) or just extends an existing router without doing those functions (Access Point Mode).\n\n#### How to Switch Modes\n\n1. In the Deco app, connect to your Deco Wi-Fi.  \n2. Tap **More** (or \u201c\u00b7\u00b7\u00b7\u201d / \u201cSettings\u201d) \u2192 **Advanced Settings** \u2192 **Operation Mode** (or \u201cWorking Mode\u201d). ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n3. You\u2019ll see **Router Mode** and **Access Point Mode** options. Choose the one you want.  \n   - **Router Mode**: Deco will manage the network\u2014assign IPs, do NAT, firewall, etc.  \n   - **Access Point Mode**: Deco will act just like a wireless extension; it won\u2019t manage IPs. The existing router upstream must have DHCP server enabled. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))   \n4. Tap **Save** (or OK / Confirm). The Deco will reboot to apply the mode switch. Usually takes about 2 minutes. ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### What You Lose or Gain: Router Mode vs AP Mode\n\n| Feature | Router Mode (Deco handles routing) | Access Point Mode (existing router handles routing) |\n|---|---|---|\n| DHCP / IP address assignment | Deco does it | Your existing router does it ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| NAT, firewall, and gateway functions | Yes | No ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/2399/?app=decoInstallation&utm_source=openai)) |\n| Features like Parental Controls, Antivirus, QoS, Port Forwarding | Yes | **Most disabled** ([tp-link.com](https://www.tp-link.com/uk/support/faq/1842/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Double NAT issues (if modem/router upstream is also doing NAT) | Possible | Avoided ([tp-link.ru](https://tp-link.ru/support/deco-setup/rezhim-routera-i-tochka-dostupa-kakoy-rezhim-vybrat-na-tp-link-deco/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Unified IP/subnet for all devices | Yes | Yes \u2014 everything on same subnet if router handles that ([tp-link.ru](https://tp-link.ru/support/deco-setup/rezhim-routera-i-tochka-dostupa-kakoy-rezhim-vybrat-na-tp-link-deco/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Decos must connect to main Deco or router | In Router Mode: yes\u2014topology matters to avoid loops. In AP Mode: more flexibility, you can wire multiple Deco units directly to your main router without network loops. ([service-provider.tp-link.com](https://service-provider.tp-link.com/nordic/faq/678/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n### Recommendations Using Your B25\n\n- If your ISP provided you a separate router/modem that already does routing: Switch your Deco B25 to **Access Point Mode**, and set the connection type to **Dynamic IP**. This avoids double NAT and conserves your Deco's features for Wi-Fi only.  \n- If you want the Deco to *replace* the existing router (you want features like parental controls, device isolation, custom routing, security): Keep Deco in **Router Mode**, with Dynamic IP if your ISP gives you that automatically.\n\n---\n\nIf you can tell me if your ISP device is just a modem/router combo or a modem plus separate router, I\u2019ll help you decide which mode is best and walk you through exactly for the B25."
