Model: Deco X20

Hardware Version: V4

Firmware Version: 1.1.1

I have a Deco X20 I wanted to put a SurfShark VPN onto.

When I added the VPN, the speed dropped from 350 Mbps to around 10/15 Mbps.

when I use the Surfshark app, it doesn't use an Open VPN. it uses Wireguard. in the Deco app everyone can change the VPN type but mine is stuck on OpenVPN with no option to change.

below is what I do

Deco App
Advanced
VPN Client
Add VPN Server
NordVPN, SurfsharkVPN or Custom (I click surfshark)
Select I have a Surfshark VPN and log in
VPN Type can't be changed

@Tecknet

Hi, welcome to the community.

The OpenVPN client speed on Deco still needs further improvement. Currently, most of the reported OpenVPN clients' bandwidth is about 20-30m/s.

Later, Deco will also support Wireguard which would greatly improve the VPN speed.

Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP

David,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I know you can't put your finger on it, but would you have a rough idea of when Deco will cover this i.e. next 6 months, within 2024?

also, will this be over an update, or will this be a new Deco device due to chip size etc ect current deco's
