5G chips used
Does the X50-5G and BE65-5G use same generation 5G chips? I am wondering if upgrading from X50-5G would likely bring any benefit when using n20/n28 channels under suboptimal ("good") signal levels, when using an external antenna? I am mostly experiencing ping/jitter issues while the bandwidth has been ok.

Unfortunately, i couldn't find specific information in our knowledgebase regarding the 5G chip generations used in different Deco models or direct comparisons of their performance under the conditions you described. @David-TP any idea if they both use the same 5G chips?
However, regarding external antenna optimization for your current X50-5G, I can share some guidance on verifying and improving external antenna performance:
Before and after adjusting your external antenna setup, you can check signal quality metrics in the Deco app by going to MORE > Internet and scrolling down to view readings like RSRP, RSRQ, and SNR. These are negative values where higher numbers indicate better signal (for example, -78dBm is better than -80dBm). This can help you determine if your current antenna configuration is optimal.
Make sure you have enabled the external antennas in the Deco app by going to MORE > External Antennas after properly installing them on your main Deco unit.

Hi,
What's the hardware version of your Deco X50-5G?
How to Find the Hardware Version on Your TP-Link Device
The 5G signal received by a Deco unit depends on various factors, including the Deco's installation location, operating environment, etc. It's hard to ensure that using the Deco BE65-5G with external antennas will bring benefits. If you own the Deco X50-5G, the following instructions may be helpful: How to Find a Good 5G Network Environment for Deco X50-5G

Thank you for the tips! I have used Claude for interpreting the signal levels, channels and performance. I can recommend that for everyone as a tool for such use. I believe my current setup is quite optimized and any improvement requires a better external antenna or a better (newer) 5G transceiver, both than might improve signal to noise. This is why I am asking about the 5G chips used in Deco products.

@Solla-topee Thank you for the tips! My X50-5G is V1.

Hi,
The Deco X50-5G V1 and BE65-5G V1 use the same generation 5G chips.
