Deco X60 Causing High CPU on Fritzbox
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello team,
Could you please help me on this subject:
I have installed the Deco X60 in my home network (December 2021), and since then i have several issues with the Internet connection (POST Luxembourg). I have set the X60 as access points to avoid double DHCP, to make it simple... in this matter, the PPPOE connection and DHCP server is manage by the Fritzbox 7530.
The main issue here is that during the day, the CPU on Fritzbox goes super high since this installation... and super quiet during the night (since there is no activitiy on the WIFI).
Network Configuration:
- Bouding Router for 2 DSL Lines
- Fritzbox 7350 Dealing with PPPOE and DHCP
- TP-Link SG3428X for Network Distribution
- Deco X60 connected to the Switch, and the remaining Deco's in each floor connected with Wifi to Main Deco
Help is appreciated, i have spent like 290€ on this pack, i still not believe that was a waste of money (yet...), the mesh network works super fine without any single drops, but the internet connection is really killing it... and i need help from the community / TPlink to sort this issue out.
Cheers ;)

Hello,
Because before we install the Decos, this behavior was not reflected on my network... and i already change the Fritzbox (I have 3).
Indeed once the new clients joins he Fritzbox maybe it requires additional CPU, but not during one/two hours in 91%... which is basically struggling the router:
- Ping Goes High
- SpeedTest goes low (less then 10Mb) in a 100Mb Internet Connection
- Work VPN is almost not responding, which means sometimes it's disconnected and i need to reopen everything in my work laptop.
This is basically the behavior that i have, and for example if we are playing also a game in the iPad or something, the game is basically starting to get really slow and it's disconnected as well.
I'm a bit lost here, so that's why i have join this community because coincidence or not... this behavior started after the Deco installation.
Hope it helps :)
Cheers,

Your welcome,
Indeed, i have disabled the Wifi connection on the Fritzbox and everything is managed by Deco X60 Wireless point of view, but the DHCP will be always from the Fritzbox.
For the moment i have my decos switched of to see if have any improvement, i'm running on 4G right now on my phones and cable on my laptops, but yesterday the CPU load was around 10% and memory was around 55%.
For the Decos we have around 15 devices in Wifi and 10 more relied on cable, so basically i can see between 20 and 25 DHCP connections on my router.
The problem of this Fritzbox it that they do not give you any big log details (unfortunatelly), only with Packet trace which generates a wiresharck file which for me its not really easy to understand and i do not know what i should look for to be honest.
I also did a small check on my switch, and i have also enable the IGMP Snooping Globally and Port, please find below the configurations that i did:
So i'm wondering what i'm missing here, it's really annoying :D
