TP-Link Deco mesh Wi-Fi unit showing no light on the unit: meaning and exact next steps

no light on the unit means No LED is lit on the Deco. This answer applies only to TP-Link Deco mesh units covered by TP-Link's Deco LED FAQ. TP-Link says most Deco models, such as the Deco X series and BE series, follow the same general pattern, and that exact colors vary by model, so a unit not listed should be checked in its own user guide.

On the covered TP-Link Deco mesh Wi-Fi unit, no light on the unit means no LED is lit on the Deco. First, try a different power socket and a different power adapter, and confirm the power cable is plugged tightly into the Deco.

    Reversible

    TP-Link's steps: if the LED lights with a different adapter or socket, the problem is the socket or adapter. If the LED still does not light after that, it should be a hardware issue and TP-Link suggests contacting its support by e-mail to confirm warranty. If none of your Deco units are lit, check whether LED control or LED Off Time is enabled in the Deco app under More, then LED control.
