More speed means more Wi-Fi speed?
I have Symetric 500Mbps Internet speed and, in the main Deco, I could have decent speed up to 450Mbps using Wi-Fi, which is very good. Then, my ISP proposed me to duplicate it. I am currently on trial mode until tomorrow and the best speed I could get is 612Mbps. Using Ethernet from either the ISP modem and from the Main Deco is ok, since I got speeds up to 985Mbps.
- QoS is off and the top speed settings are both in 1000Mbps.
- Firmware version (v1) is 1.2.2 Build 20231226 Rel. 74361
- Latency is 1ms
- For the other secondary three Decos, the speed is the same as with the symetric 500 (158Mbps, 174Mbps top)
- 2048 is Wi-Fi (advertised) the top speed from Decos PX50
For what I can say, I am only adding more digits to my montlhy payment. Is there any missing parameter that I am not aware of that is preventing this? I read several threads about the Internet speed and the link speed and I got confused. For a normal user, if a product states that you can have speed up to 2048, the user is buying it because it has a subscriptions with the ISP that supports this.
Thanks for yor help.
@EAMT I found a similar topic raised by @John_Greaves , the 597844 that can be found here: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/597844 . I have Deco PX50 and the problem persists. Any migration to a Wi-Fi7 TP-Link solution is on hold, since I do not want to spend more money and then found out umpleasant surprises. Those speeds listed below seem not reachable at all.
Hi, Thanks for the further update.
Have you checked the wireless link speed on the mobile devices when its download speed is 612-650m/s? Can I have the model number of the tested mobile device?
How to check the associated/link speed on a wireless client
The Deco PX50 achieves a speed of 2402Mbps over 5GHz based on the highlighted factors in the attached picture, which is not just for TP-Link routers and it suits other brands as well. In the lab test, when the mobile device connects to Deco PX50 with a link speed of 2402Mbps, the expected wireless download speed is about 900-1.2Gbps. So I think it is very likely your tested device doesn't support 160mhz over 5Ghz and the maximum link speed is about 1201Mbps so the final Wi-Fi download speed would be about 600-900Mbps.
However, as you pointed out, they are explanations and are not explicit in the ad. However, it might help to understand the commonly used network parameters for future decisions. Thank you very much and best regards.
@David-TP By analyzing your insights, I got this information from Apple: https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/wi-fi-specifications-for-apple-devices-dep268652e6c/web
I don't know if this table is complete or not, but it seems that the iPhone 15 Pro uses the 160MHz bandwidth only at 6GHz, something the Deco PX50 can't do. However, using the 80Mhz, the iPhone 15 Pro can reach up to 1200Mbps.
I will appreciate if you could get more information about this and many thanks for your support.
