Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.1.19

My setup: main deco connected to internet via LAN and i have satellite deco connected wireless. There's only one wall between those two. I have 450mbps internet, when i am connected to main deco i can reach that speed. But when i am connected to satellite deco my max speed is 200-250mbps.

 

Is this because deco m4 2.4ghz band max speed is only 300mbps? And decom4 uses 2.4ghz band to communicate with each other?

Hi, welcome to the community.

You can check the current Mesh Backhaul on the Deco APP:

The satellite Deco M4 should use both 2.4GHz and 5GHz as Mesh Backhaul.

As for the speed from satellite Deco, it is suggested to refer to 

Why is my satellite Deco unit not getting the same speed as the main Deco?

200-250m/s from the satellite M4 is not bad and if possible, you could run the following test:

1. temporarily unplug the satellite M4.

2. Stand where the satellite M4 used to be and connect the device to the WiFi of the main Deco M4 to test the speed.

3. then plug the satellite M4 back in and connect a laptop via an Ethernet cable to the satellite M4 to test the speed again.

Thank you very much and best regards.

  @David-TP I tried unplugging the satellite and then connecting to the main. Speed was definitely faster when connected to satellite. But not fast as when connected to main. Certainly 200mbps is fast, but why waste the other 250? I doubt that M4 uses 2.4ghz, please confirm if upgrading to AC1900 can improve wireless backhaul.
