Model: Deco XE75 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: Out of the box

Hi, I recently purchased the XE-75 PRO to bolster speeds across a 3 story house as reception on the top floor was non existent.

 

I have tried the X3 units over the WiFi, with the main being directly connected to my router. By the time I receive connection on the top floor, the internet is ok but download speeds go from ~900 download to ~150-300. If I remove the third deco unit and just leave the second my download speeds increase to ~300-500. Is this normal behaviour?

 

Secondly. If I'm going to hardwire these together. Am I right in thinking the best approach is;

 

- ISP (Vodafone line)

- connected to my router (do I turn this into modem only mode, I've currently just disabled WiFi?)

- which connects to the main deco unit.

- do I connect a switch to the deco unit, or just connect off the back of the 'main', and repeat?

 

Thanks any advice is appreciated.

Hi, welcome to the community.

The satellite Deco will reduce the speed in a certain level but considering there are 6Ghz Backhaul between Decos, I think the 3rd Deco XE75 Pro should behave better.

Ethernet Connection over Deco would be a wonderful idea.

If you don't worry about Double NAT issue, I think disabling Wi-Fi on the Vodafone router will be fine.

And the following topology would work: ISP---Vodafone Wi-Fi router---main XE75 Pro---- <cable>---2nd XE75 Pro---- <cable>--- 3rd XE75 Pro.

There are also other possible topologies here: General questions about Ethernet Backhaul feature on your Deco

 

Thank you very much and best regards.
