Deco S7 low speed on WiFi

Model: Deco S7

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.5.1 Build 20240711 Rel. 38529

Hi,

My ISP provides me with 700/150 Mbps. When I run a speed test on my PC, with the cable connected to a port on my Deco S7, I get the desired speed.
However, when I do it over WiFi, I get speeds of 305/154 Mbps. The upload speed is as expected, but the download speed is significantly slower.

So far I've tried:

Placing the Deco S7 and my phone in the same room, just a few meters apart.
Disabling the 2.4 GHz band on the Deco to force it to 5 GHz.
Changing the Operation Mode from Wi-Fi Router to Access Point.

I also activated the 5G band on my ISP’s modem, and the speed I get there is correct too.

Has anyone else faced the same problem or I'm screwed?

Hi,

Make sure when you test the speed, no other devices are engaged in high-bandwidth activities.

Please check the link speed on your wireless devices.

And please also check the wired speed you can get from the main Deco.

If you still find the speed you get is slow, you can first refer to these troubleshooting steps.
