Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.7.3 build 20230906

I've a setup of 3 M5 units where the base is also my internet router. recently I've upgraded my internet connection to 1Gb and I see the Deco is capable of pushing ~500Mb only. I assume this is the max horse power I get from the M5 CPU

I wonder what is my best (economical) option to add a new base unit (replace current or add a 4th unit) that will give me 1Gb b/w while avoiding the need to replace my mesh (no additional wifi network) and of course continue to control the system with deco application

thanks, Uri.

Deco M5 is WiFi5. You can't get more than 600-650Mbps from WiFi5 capable mesh.

 

To get speeds closer to gigabit, you will need to replace all your Deco M5 with WiFi6, WiFi6E or WiFi7 capable mesh.

  @Alexandre. my WiFi is great no need to upgrade. I do want to improve weird computers. It's problematic i need to replace all setup and not just replace bade unit while keeping mesh and application/feature competability. Uri

I have Deco M5 and when testing its wired link I am getting 920Mbps, which is as close to gigabit as it gets.

 

Make sure you have increased QoS parameter after internet connection upgrade, Total Bandwidth to at least 950/950: How to set up QoS on the Deco
