Mesh Wi-Fi With Hyperoptic: Deco, Eero, Orbi and Nest Wifi Setup
12 November 2026 · By Ethan Fernandes
Using TP-Link Deco, Amazon Eero, Netgear Orbi or Google Nest Wifi with Hyperoptic? Whether you can replace the Hyperoptic Hyperhub, the settings it needs, and how to keep your home phone working.
Quick fix
If you don't use a Hyperoptic home phone, you can usually connect your mesh in place of the Hyperhub on an automatic (DHCP) connection. If you do use the phone, keep the Hyperhub as the router, put your mesh in access point mode and turn off the Hyperhub's Wi-Fi.

Get help todayHyperoptic serves thousands of London apartment buildings with full fibre. Flats often have the Hyperhub in a hallway cupboard, so the bedrooms and living room get weak Wi-Fi. Mesh fixes it, but there's one catch to plan for: the home phone.
The short version: If you don't use a Hyperoptic home phone, you can usually connect your mesh in place of the Hyperhub on an automatic (DHCP) connection. If you do use the phone, keep the Hyperhub as the router, put your mesh in access point mode and turn off the Hyperhub's Wi-Fi.
What Hyperoptic Allows
Hyperoptic's supplied router, the Hyperhub, is needed for activation. After that, customers report that their own router works on a normal automatic (DHCP) connection, with no login or VLAN needed. If you're unsure, check with Hyperoptic support before changing anything.
Option 1: Mesh Straight to the Fibre Socket
- If you don't use a Hyperoptic home phone, connect the main mesh unit's internet port to the Hyperoptic wall socket where the Hyperhub was connected.
- Leave the mesh in normal router mode with an automatic (DHCP) connection.
- Restart and check you're online. Keep the Hyperhub in case Hyperoptic need it for fault testing.
Option 2: Keep the Hyperoptic Hyperhub, Mesh in Access Point Mode
If you use a Hyperoptic home phone, keep the Hyperhub connected to the wall socket as the router, connect the mesh to it, switch the mesh to access point or bridge mode (see below) and turn off the Hyperhub's Wi-Fi.
Home Phone
Hyperoptic's home phone plugs into the phone port on the Hyperhub, so if you use it, keep the Hyperhub connected and use Option 2.
Access Point Mode on Each Mesh System
- TP-Link Deco: Deco app, More > Advanced > Operation Mode > Access Point.
- Amazon Eero: eero app, Settings > Network settings > DHCP & NAT > Bridge.
- Netgear Orbi: orbilogin.com, Advanced > Router / AP Mode > AP Mode.
- Google Nest Wifi: bridge mode only supports a single unit, so extra points stop working. Keep Nest Wifi in router mode with the provider's Wi-Fi turned off instead, or connect it directly where the provider allows.

Common questions
Usually, yes. The Hyperhub is needed for activation, and customers report their own router then works on a normal automatic (DHCP) connection. Check with Hyperoptic if you're unsure.
Yes, if you keep the Hyperhub connected as the router, because the phone plugs into it. Put your mesh in access point or bridge mode behind it.
The Hyperhub is often in a hallway cupboard, and flat walls and neighbouring networks weaken the signal. A mesh system with a unit in the living area and bedrooms fixes it.
Yes. If you don't use the Hyperoptic phone, connect it in place of the Hyperhub in router mode. If you do, keep the Hyperhub and the Nest Wifi as router, with the Hyperhub's Wi-Fi off.
