Model: Deco  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Latest

Hello!

 

I've recently gotten a PX-50 3 pack in hopes to get around my daughter's room which is very similar to a Faraday cage and in the middle of our apartment, while I get great speeds (300mbps and 16ms latency) when my network configured itself as living room > bedroom > main bedroom, but..

 

I find the deco being a bit too smart for Itself and reconfiguring itself as a hub and spoke model in the image, where speeds drop to below 50mbps and 300-600ms latency. Using the optimisation button doesn't do anything most of the time.

 

I'm looking for a way where I can set the routing and hopefully disable the plc bridge in the main bedroom as it's circuit is the worst one causing poor speeds and terrible latency to the point I might return this product as it's not solving my needs.

Hi, welcome to the community.

So far, it is still not allowed to manually configure the Mesh Backhaul between Deco units.

So I need your help to get more details to approve Wi-Fi Backhaul between the bedroom and main bedroom, is better than PLC Backahul between the living room and main bedroom.

1. Before there is a great speed  (300mbps and 16ms latency), the network configured itself as living room > bedroom > main bedroom,  have you checked its Mesh Backahul types? is it like map #1?

2. Now when the Main Bedroom decided to choose PLC backhaul over WiFi Backhaul(map #2) the speed dropped to 50mbps and 300-600ms latency.

 

3. As for the speed of 300mbps and 16ms latency/50mbps and 300-600ms latency,  are these wireless speeds or Ethernet speeds from the main bedroom PX50?

Thank you very much.

Wait for your reply.

best regards.

Yes your map 1 is correct with the ideal setup, The map 1 only difference is I still saw the plc icon but the layout is identical.

 

Speeds were tested with fast.com over ethernet plugged into main bedroom device.

 

I'll be traveling for the next 7 days but will be happy to convince the network to reconfigure itself and traceroute as well as fast.com speeds in the different configurations once back.
