Model: Deco X90  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.4.0

 

Hardware Configuration:

  • Router Model: TP-Link Deco X90

  • Hardware Version: V1

  • Firmware Version: 1.4.0

  • Network Setup: Access Point (AP) mode

  • Backhaul: Wired connection to the main unit

  • Client Device: Desktop PC with MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7925 Wireless LAN Card

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue Description:
Despite the Wi-Fi adapter indicating a link speed of 2402 Mbps, actual download speeds are consistently around 1200 Mbps. This discrepancy persists even after ensuring all firmware and drivers are up to date.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

  1. Firmware and Driver Updates: Confirmed that both the Deco X90 and the Wi-Fi adapter have the latest firmware and drivers installed.

  2. Network Configuration: Verified that the Deco X90 is operating in Access Point mode with a wired backhaul.

  3. Security Settings: Noted that WPA3 is not supported; currently using WPA2-Personal.

  4. Signal Strength: Observed a signal strength of 79% at the client device.

  5. Speed Tests: Conducted multiple speed tests using various tools and servers, consistently yielding download speeds around 1200 Mbps.

  6. Wired Connection Test: Connected the desktop PC directly to the Deco X90 via Ethernet cable and achieved a maximum download speed of 940 Mbps, indicating a limitation in the wired connection.

Request for Assistance:
Seeking insights from other Deco X90 V1 users who might have encountered similar speed limitations. Specifically interested in:

  • Any known issues or limitations with the Deco X90 V1 that could explain the observed speeds.

  • Potential configuration changes or optimizations to improve Wi-Fi throughput.

  • Experiences with alternative firmware or settings that have yielded better performance.

Hi, welcome to our community.

First, link speed/negotiated speed does not mean the actual internet speed.

If the link speed is 2402 Mbps when your PC is connected to Deco wirelessly, the actual speed of 1200 Mbps is normal, as that is how the Wi-Fi Protocol works.

As for the 940mbps speed when your PC is connected to Deco via Ethernet cable, you may check the link speed following this guide. I guess it shows 1Gbps on your PC.

And this guide is also for your reference: What are the most frequent asked questions about the TP-Link devices' speed?

Thanks for your sharing here and best regards.
