Wi-Fi Mode

• High Capacity
  (Enabled automatically and cannot be changed because I’m using Ethernet backhaul)

2.4 GHz

• Channel width: 20 MHz
• Channel selection: Automatic

5 GHz

• Channel width: 80 MHz
• Channel selection: Automatic

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.

I've updated my 3x X50 and everything looks OK. I also have an X50-Outdoor, and I think this prevents the "traffic usage" function from working, but I can live with that.

Yesterday I noticed (but the issue could have been older) that my laptop was sometimes all of a sudden getting weaker signal (the Windows signal strength indicator showed one or two lines) and the connection was choppy (video conference, etc.). After a while it went back to normal. This happened a few times, and during those times the Deco app showed that the laptop was connected with a strong signal.

I suspected that maybe the beam forming (which was active) might be getting confused. I deactivated it, and the connection was stable (and with full signal strength) for a few hours.Obviously I will have to check this more thoroughly and for a longer time.

My question: is this a known problem with beam forming? (note that the laptop was stationary all the time, so it shouldn't have caused any difficulties for the beam forming).

Thanks in advance for your reply!

  @David-TP I'm unable to use Jio 5G on the Japan version that I bought to India, I tried manually upgrading to version 1.8.0, upgrade happens successfully but the version shown is still the same. This is really Frustrating. You guy haven't been able to add 464XLAT support for JIO 5G?

Hi,

the issue you’re experiencing is due to firmware incompatibility, not a failed update.

Your device is Deco X50-5G (V1.0), which is a different hardware model from the standard Deco X50 / X55.

Firmware 1.8.0 is released only for Deco X50/X55 V1 and does not support the X50-5G variant.

Because of this:

• The update process may appear to finish successfully
• But the firmware version remains unchanged
• New features from 1.8.0 will not be applied

The Deco X50-5G uses a separate firmware branch, and firmware files are not interchangeable between these models.

You’ll need to wait for an official firmware release specifically for Deco X50-5G.

Hope this clears things up.
