Deco M5 VR troubleshooting
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Recently we got some Deco M5's in our house to expand the reach of our wifi connections for 2 main reasons.
- We were having issues upstairs with connecting to our wifi (probably because ISP routers aren't great)
- We were getting a VR headset (Oculus Quest 2) so the wifi streaming functionality of that headset could greatly benefit some access points close by.
I've had this setup for about a week. But I'm having 1 major issue. Which is that the connection for the wifi streaming isn't fantastic.
We reach about 300-400 download and 40-50 upload speed wise with minimal latency (within normal ranges). But I'm still having issues with weird stuttering and lag while in-game. This is most likely due to the M5 dropping me from 80Mhz bandwith to lower 40 or even 20 while playing, resulting in lag issues. Is there any way to set a consistent bandwith (aka set it to 80Mhz permanently instead of having it on auto?
There are no settings in Deco M5 to change channel width. Still, the Deco would not change channel width just because. It is possible your Deco nodes are not properly placed, or VR headset is too far, or other reasons.
If you want, I can help you to verify correct placement of Deco nodes and help with basic tuning of Deco mesh. This may, or may not resolve the issue you described.
To help you with that, if you want my assistance, I will need you to tell me the following:
1. How many Deco M5s do you have?
2. Do you run Deco mesh in its default Router mode or in Access Point mode?
Also, Deco M5 firmware version you provides appears to be not correct. Would you please check it again. It may have been 1.6.1, not 1.1.1 you listed.
Finally, please make and share screenshot from your Deco app with the list of Deco nodes, like this one I made of my Deco mesh:
