@Mukuextrem Okay and does it improve overall WiFi performance? Like 5 GHz performance after using 2.4 GHz on different channels on all Deco nodes.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
It is not suggested to downgrade the firmware, and the official version has just been uploaded to the EN site.
If you'd like to further cooperate with us, you can submit the Deco APP log-How to submit Deco APP log and add the model numbers of the devices that are online but in the "Offline List" on the Deco App.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.

From what I can tell so far, the main improvement is not directly on 5 GHz performance.
Using different channels on 2.4 GHz mainly seems to reduce interference and congestion in that band, especially for IoT devices. Since I’m using Ethernet backhaul (High Capacity mode), 5 GHz isn’t used for backhaul anyway, so its performance stays consistently good regardless of the 2.4 GHz channel behavior.
Indirectly, less load and fewer collisions on 2.4 GHz can help overall network stability, but raw 5 GHz throughput and latency look the same as before in my setup.
So I’d say the benefit is more about stability and capacity on 2.4 GHz, not a measurable boost to 5 GHz speeds.
