Hi all!
First, I measured the speed of the cable entering the apartment:
After that, I turned off one DECO, and I had this network map:
After that, I started testing from the main device:
Cable speed:
WI-FI speed:
As you can see from the Tx Rate, the stability of the connection is maximum!
After that, I ran the tests on a second non-primary device:
Cable speed:
WI-FI speed:
As you can see from the Tx Rate, the stability of the connection is maximum!
That is, I draw conclusions:
- After entering the main device (bedroom), we lose ~100mb/c
- When using WI-FI from the main device, we lose 50% of the speed at the maximum speed indicator.
- When using a wired connection from a non-main device, we lose ~50% of speed.
- When using a WI-FI connection from a non-main device, we lose ~90% of the speed.
I have the latest firmware installed:
The tests were carried out on Apple equipment:
That is, I draw conclusions:
- After entering the main device (bedroom), we lose ~100mb/c
- When using WI-FI from the main device, we lose 50% of the speed at the maximum speed indicator.
- When using a wired connection from a non-main device, we lose ~50% of speed.
- When using a WI-FI connection from a non-main device, we lose ~90% of the speed.
I am waiting for your fastest response, because judging by the fact that the last software update of the devices was 1.5 years ago, I can assume that you simply killed the support of these devices.
Hi, I am sorry that the uploaded pictures are broken. Could you mind updating it again?
By the way, May I know how long have you had the Deco P9？
Have you checked the signal source on Deco P9 whether the satellite units are on the PLC/Wi-Fi Backhaul?
Best regards.
@David-TP Thanks for your reply!
I bought these DECOs from the US 1.5 months ago, and I had this issue from scratch.
Yes, I use DECOs in AP mode, because if I use DECO as the main router the situation is much worse, I found this solution from one topic. I tested into router mode, but the situation was pretty much the same, the speeds were 30-50mb/s lower.
I switched RE#1 with RE#2, and now the main DECO from the living room, and the second from the bedroom:
And did new tests with another Macbook PRO M1 (Ivans-MBP-2). Previously I did a full test on Macbook PRO 2019.
Main DECO by wired:
Main DECO by wireless:
Secondary DECO by wired:
Secondary DECO by wireless:
Looks like switching of DECOs and the testing notebook doesn't help, and the situation looks the same.
@David-TP Sorry about one of my mistakes, my version of the hardware is V1.8:
Could you, please, clarify, whether is beta firmware that you share with me in private messages is compatible with my hardware version?
After that, I could provide new tests on the new firmware.
I could provide log files if you need them.
Best regards.
Hi! I already updated to beta firmware:
and I did new tests:
Main (bedroom) DECO by wired:
Main (bedroom) DECO by wireless:
Looks like the situation is still pretty much the same as did.
Test for secondary DECO:
Secondary (study) DECO by weird:
Secondary (study) DECO by wireless:
The situation has become a little better, the connection is more stable, and the speed has increased by ~100mb/s. But I still can't get close speed by wireless to the speed that is possible with weird, although this speed is below the theoretical threshold of 866mb/s, and this is very sad.
How else can I help you find the problem? What information can I provide you? I can run tests with patches in the firmware.
I attached the ALL logs file after the tests, and looks like log file contains too many the same log lines: daemon.err /usr/bin/apsd: apsd_get_active_ports:214: Error: No such interface 23.
Best regards.
@David-TP Thanks for your reply!
I already checked wireless inference, and near my home, I only have 6 channels with 5Ghz:
And when I tested, my notebook was pretty near DECO:
@David-TP so I can assume that this is not an interference issue.
But after installing new beta firmware the wireless connectivity started working a little better.
So I can assume that everything is fine with the hardware, only there is a need to improve the firmware.
Therefore, I am ready to help you by providing any information, logs and tests.
I think that I and your other clients will be infinitely grateful to you if you revive the improvement of this platform with new updates!
Waiting for your new reply!
Best regards.
