  @VirenDas You can use Connection Preference feature to connect Deco to Deco means Main Deco to Satellite Deco 1 and from Satellite Deco 1 to Satellite Deco 2 and also change the location of your Satellite Deco units to get better signals from Main Deco.

Please & Thank You !! ❤️

Hi, may I know the firmware version of the Deco X50-POE?

The latest version for Deco X50-POE_V2 is 1.4.9, and please make sure the firmware is up-to-date.

Is there any chance that you can connect the satellite Deco X50-PoE via Ethernet cables? Ethernet Backhaul usually provides better network speed than WiFi Backhaul.

While if WiFi Backhaul is the only choice now, you can try to adjust the location:

  • A regular triangle shape is more recommended.
  • The backward direction of X50-POE has the weakest WiFi signal. Please avoid installing the satellite X50-PoE right below the main Deco.
  • If possible, put them in a clear line of sight and avoid necessary physical barriers

 

 

Thank you very much and best regards.
