Deco wifi question
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi. I am considering an M5 system but need a "real life" comment. I have a 500mb fibre connection. What speed could I expect through wifi? My current router, a Netgear X10 loses 200mb!
Thanks

Hello,
As per the Deco M5 specifications, it will provide you a 400 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps on 5 GHz, which means you will get a maximum of 867M wireless link speed if your wireless adapter also supports it.
However, the wireless link speed/rate is not equal to the real wireless speed you will get, the actual wireless speed is almost 60%-80% of the wireless link speed. For more details, you may refer to the below article:

Hopefully, that answers your question but let us know if you need more details.

Thanks for this. It looks like the link you sent is broken. I completely rebuilt the network today from a full factory reset on all 5 devices. When I restored the main, without any other devices or Decos connected, I stood near the Main and with WiFi got the full 500mb download. There was no loss!! However, as I reconnected the other Decos and they started to connect the devices, the speed at the main dropped markedly. I wish I understood more of the technicalities! Cheers
