Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.8.1 build 20250829 rel. 44659

Hello and thanks in advance for the answer.

I live in a 4 floors house.

I bought a set of 4 decos (3 M4R and 1 E4)

I placed it one per floor.

Main Deco M4R in ground floor 

Satellite 1 M4R in floor -1 

Satellite 2 M4R in floor 1 

Satellite 3 E4 in floor 2

all of them have power strenght "medium"

 

Satellite 3 is connected to satellite 2 which is connected to main deco. Satellite 1 connected to main deco.

 

My ISP provider runs at 1gbps

If i connect to the wifi of the ISP modem, i get 800mbps

If I connect to DECO wifi on main deco, i get 250mpbs

Then, satellite 2 90mbps, and satellite 3 20mpbs

 

I set DECO network in accesspoint mode.

Can't find better positions to get stronger signal, i tried all combinantions...

But it seems that speed is cut of is already in Main Deco, non only in the satellites (which I would explain with distance, even if it's just one floor away).

Is there any chance to avoid this speed drop? 

 

Thanks in advance!

  @19_pc_85 Hmmm so are you using any network switch between ISP modem and Deco Unit? What's your linkspeed on phone or laptop after connected to Main Deco WiFi and ISP Modem WiFi? Have you tested the speed through Main Deco by using ethernet cable? Have u tried Connection Preference to connect Deco to Deco for better signals and performance? 

Please & Thank You !! ❤️

Hello. Thanks for your answer.

Main DECO is connected with ethernet to a port of the ISP modem/router with a cat6 cable.

If I connect with phoneto DECO wifi on main deco, i get 250mpbs

If i connect with phone to the wifi of the ISP modem, i get 800mbps

I did not try to connect laptop with lan to main DECO.

I confirm i choose the connection preferences to keep the schema: Satellite1 --> Main <-- Satellite2 <--- Satellite3 (for some unknonw reasons satellite2 connected automatically often to main deco instead of sat2 so I forced it to hook on sat2).

 

Thanks again for the answer!
