What sort of speeds should I get with a Deco M4?

 

My connection is 500Mb.

I was comfortably getting near on full speeds through a wired backhaul Deco.

 

I've now change internet supplier and have a 1Gb package.

They supplied me with a WiFi 6 router - an AX3000.

 

However now the PC barely gets above 90Mb through Speedtest.net.  My phone gets to 245Mb wirelessly.

 

When I use the supplied TP-Link router, I can get 400Mb / 500Mb speeds wirelessly.  I didn't test what I could get wired.

However that TP-Link router isn't compatible with my M4 Deco network, so I opted to use the Decos as I did before.

 

I have a TP-Link gigabit switch but this shouldn't affect anything?

 

Should the M4 Decos be able to handle 1Gb internet?

I had a connector to join two cat 6 cables together (yeah, I know!).

 

Replaced that with a switch and now I get 600Mb down on the PC - that's using flat ethernet cables too!

 

But confident the connector was a bottle neck.

Deco M4 have gigabit Ethernet ports. They should be able to handle gigabit speeds, wired. Their WiFi speed will be about 500-600Mbps in ideal conditions. This is as much as WiFi5 can deliver in real life.

 

Often, when people say "speeds around 90-100Mbps" it points at issue with Ethernet cable. When devices can't negotiate gigabit speed over the cable, they downgrade wired link to 100Mbps. 

Check Ethernet cables you are using.
