  @TP-Link I suspect this happens more when the satellite Deco is connected to another satellite Deco as a signal source instead of to the main deco.

  @TP-Link Ok, my network as a whole works terribly. 3 days after the update.

  @TP-Link I have a Deco X20 as Main Deco (router) and 3 Deco M5 as AP.

The firmware on the M5's is 1.5.7, but it does not show the 1.6.0 update.

The X20 is on firmware 1.5.1

 

What can be the issue?

  @AlonK 

Hi, Thanks for the feedback.

 I do have some confusion and hope you could help me figure them out:

1." some slow responses in Wi-Fi, although speed tests show otherwise" if the speedtest says the wireless speed is normal and why do you think the wireless network is still slow? because the video/auto live streaming is always delayed or buffering or something else?

 

2. Since you mentioned the signal source selection, Do you mean if all the satellite Deco units are linked to the main Deco, the living streaming will be much more smooth?

 

3." my network as a whole works terribly", can you give me some examples, like the above video/audio live streaming?


Sorry if I have asked about too many details otherwise I only knew the new firmware is not good but I could not explain to engineers in which situations it behaves bad, and they are also unable to reproduce the same issue on their side.


Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Does anyone getting wifi speeds slower than what is coming to the main Deco after 1.6 update?

 

For example, if I run the Speedtest inside Deco App (which means that is running directly on Main Deco), I get almost 700mbps. However, when testing in any device connected via 5ghz, I only get 480mbps. 

 

I've tried in 2 devices (a smartphone and a notebook with Wi-Fi 6 AX adapter). I've 2 Decos connected with backhaul using cat5e cable, and a third Deco connected to the closest one. When testing, I was close to one of those 2 decos running in backhaul.

 

Is there any configuration to improve the speed when connected via wifi?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Marcelo

M5 has that same WiFi speed before 1.6. On WiFi, the maximum you could get from M5 is 475-500Mbps, which means you are getting the peak speed possible for M5.

For more technical details on M5 performance see the following: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/563636

 

Deco App speed test measures speed of wired connection between Main Deco and your ISP. Usually, it should be reporting speed of your Internet connection you are paying ISP for.

Totally understood. I haven't noticed that. Considering the M5 specs, wifi speed here is fine. Thanks for the info, mate!

  @David-TP any updates on the findings of users that claim that 1.6.0 is messing with speed and reliability of Deco? Also, why is it taking so long for Deco 1.6.0 to appear in the App? 
 

thank you

  @David-TP Waiting to hear back regarding my question from earlier on in the week where my v3 can upgrade to 1.6.0 but it seems my v1 isn't compatible. Same issue when i try in the deco IOS app as well.
