Deco x20 setting

Hi,
I set up the deco x20 and did a speed test. Apparently, the speed on the deco router is not going beyond 100 Mbps. When I connect my device to the main router and the speed is averaging 400-500 Mbps. As soon as I switch it to the deco router, the speed drop below 100 Mbps, and the average is around 80-90 Mbps when I am near the deco router, if I go further away from the deco router it drops furthermore to 45 Mbps.
Is there any setting that I need to do to help boost the speed up?
Thanks
Mike
There could be settings in Deco responsible for throttling traffic, but other scenario also possible: Deco pushes your device to slower 2.4GHz or Main Deco negotiated 100Mbps wired link with the router.
To eliminate Deco settings as a cause, make the following two changes:
1. Configure Deco mesh to run in Access Point mode. How to set up Deco to work in Access Point mode
2. Turn off 2.4GHz on Main network in Deco app:
Then, run your speed tests again. If all you get is under 100Mbps, that strongly points at Ethernet cable between Main Deco and router, forcing Deco negotiate 100Mbps instead of gigabit.
