Model: Deco XE75  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.4.3 Build 20240926 Release 38336

I have been using a setup of two XE75 devices, running in Access Point mode, and connected with wired backhaul. Typically, the Wifi transmission speed should be around 350 Mbit/s, based on my internet bandwidth. However, over the last couple of months I noticed the speed being throttled to 90-100 Mbit/s, as tested on a 5 GHz network (regardless of the device I am testing from). This affects both download and upload, and it's the same when the device is connected to Deco through an Ethernet cable.Outside the Deco devices, the home network runs at expected speed.

 

Typically, it was enough to restart the Deco devices to remove the problem. However, over the last couple of days restarting no longer helps. I have also tried restarting the ISP router, with no result. I have not been changing any settings recently, and did not receive a firmware upgrade. Please let me know if this is a known issue, and what are the ways to resolve it.

Hi, welcome to the community.

May I know the network topology of the Deco Mesh network, such as:

ISP router---<cable>---main Deco XE75---<cable>---satellite Deco XE75

or

           /---main Deco XE75

ISP----

          \----Satellite Deco XE75

 

Did you run into the following issue on both Deco XE75s:

 the speed being throttled to 90-100 Mbit/s

 

Please also try to connect the ISP router to the middle port on the main Deco XE75 to see whether it makes any difference.

By the way, may I know how long you have had the Deco?

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Hello David,

 

Coincidentally, the topology is exactly as in your example:

ISP router---<cable>---main Deco XE75---<cable>---satellite Deco XE75

 

The issue applies to both Deco units. I have been using XE75s since August 2025. Using the alternate Ethernet port does not make a difference.

 

However, in the meantime I noticed that doing a hard restart (disconnecting the power cable and connecting it once again) helped to restore my Wifi network bandwidth to the expected 350 Mbit/s. Restarting through the Android application did not help. I would hope the issue does not come back, however in the past it already did a couple of times.

 

I wonder if there is a way to avoid the issue from happening, without having todoing the hard restarts, and what could be the reason of my network slowing down after some time.

 

best regards;

  @jerzymichal Hi, thank you very much for your time and patience.

Did the speed slow down again in the past few days?

If yes, it is recommended to send an email to support.forum@tp-link.com with the following details:

(Please add the forum ID#859862 in the subject.)

  • The model number of the ISP router
  • How often would the speed slow down?

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
