You should buy Asus Zen-Wifi BT10 and get rid rrom this forum.
Apple makes products for dumb persons, and some of them actually believes that are the king of the world for been able to afford them.
Ontopic:
Decos are having some issues lately. I was thinking to moving to X80, but I'm afraid the performances issues won't disappear.

Topology is:
ONT provided by the isp, Deco X50 as the main router (seted up an access point). Then, tplink switch, and 2 Deco X20 and 1 X50, all wired with utp cat6 cables.
As I said, if I connect with a wire to any of the deco I get the full 940 MB. If I use any wifi6 device, I cannot get the full speed.
Thanks

feel sorry for you too. You think that all of us that selected something different for our needs made a terrible decision.
next time it will be better to submit your problem and look for a solution in forums like this one or submit a ticket to the store that you bought a problematic device.
Airport Extremes and expresses was state of the art 10-12 years ago . Nowadays are obsolete devices that have security flows , incompatibilities, slow speed etc.
Better look something that has more security features, increased speed and compatibility. There are too many options from different companies that will work with your needs, do a search I am sure you will find something.
Have a wonderful day !

Dns DoH issue was solved. It seems to be an issue with my former ISP.
Now, I'm using a ftth gigabit connection but I cannot get the full speed over wifi6 devices. I rolled back to 1.6.1 but it's seems limited to 800 MB. I can get the full 940MB using a wire to the deco, so it seems that there's a limitation coming from somewhere.
Thanks.

Hi @David-TP
is this version going to GA ? Or is there a new build we can try?
1.6.1 seems to still be the official version for x50 and x55 v1, but that's the version that has frequent 2.4GHz IoT type of devices disconnecting.

Here’s a brief summary of Wi-Fi differences by region:
-
United States (FCC): Uses 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and recently opened the 6 GHz band. Common channels for 2.4 GHz are 1-11. The 5 GHz band includes channels 36-165, with DFS required for some upper channels. Transmit power is relatively high, allowing for greater range.
-
Europe (ETSI): Supports 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and limited 6 GHz use. Channels 1-13 are available in the 2.4 GHz band. The 5 GHz band includes channels 36-140, with DFS required for certain channels to avoid interference. Power limits are generally lower than in the US.
-
Japan (MIC): Utilizes 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and some 6 GHz. Includes channels 1-14 in the 2.4 GHz band, with some restrictions on the 14th channel. The 5 GHz band covers channels 36-64 and 100-140, also with DFS requirements for some channels. Transmit power limits are stricter, particularly for the 2.4 GHz band.
