Deco Mesh with Archer BE800 giving me headaches (Archer AX75 works like a dream)
I have been running a home network seamlessly using the Archer AX75 as a router and Deco BE85 and other deco models for the mesh. The Archer is in router mode with wifi disabled and decos are in Access Point mode for great wifi coverage.
I am about to move from 1 Gb to 10Gb internet at home, so I bought an Archer BE800 router, which can manage 10Gb, in advance to replace my Archer AX75. It has been a disaster!
The Deco network keeps failing, and the internet keeps falling. I sometimes get speeds of 500Mbs; other times, I get 10Mbs. Worse, the Deco mesh keeps dropping signal.
To make sure it wasn't any other issue, I swapped it back to the AX75, and everything is working perfectly giving me wireless speeds of 700-900Mbs (I am still on the 1Gb service) depending on where I am at home.
I then swapped back to the BE800, and everything went crazy, and nothing worked well.
Anyone else having this issues? Any fixes?
Why will the Deco work well with the Archer AX75 and not the Archer BE800??
Dear @terziyski
-Main Deco is a BE85
-Using port 3 (10Gb WAN) on the BE800
-Using port 1(10GB) on the BE85 main deco

How do I solve this issue? I am pulling my hair out.
Thank you in advance.

Can you check the negotiated speed here:
Scroll down at the bottom of that page and check:
Using cables from the BE800 kit and Deco BE85 kit would be the best option if your negotiated speeds are not correct - they should be CAT 6.
