Model: Deco X20  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have the Deco X20 for a couple of months now and it has been really good until this last two weeks. I have my main deco connected to the router of the company that provides 300mbs wifi download and 100 upload, and the second deco in my room which by speedtesting it gives my 120 mb download and 80 upload. The numbers i suppose that are not bad, but having my ps5 connected in my room by ethernet to the second deco is giving me packet loss and high m/s in quite a lot moments of the day. I thought of a solution which could be to place a power line adapter which i owned and chenged for the Deco system, and connect the second deco unit to the ethernet of the powerline, in order to boost it, but i am not sure how that works. I would really appreciate getting help or tips, since i dont even know if i can give more wifi to another deco X20 unit that is not the main one.

I can give you recommendations for powerline adapters.

 

It is rather simple: connect one powerline adapter with Ethernet cable to free Ethernet port of Main Deco, connect second powerline adapter with Ethernet cable to Ethernet port of Satellite Deco. If these adapters are compatible with Deco mesh backhaul, your Satellite Deco will report Ethernet backhaul.

 

I would suggest, after you connect Decos through powerline adapters, power off and on Satellite Deco to make sure it recognizes connection to powerline adapter.

 

If powerline adapters can't support Deco mesh, Satellite Deco will keep reporting WiFi backhaul.

  @Alexandre. I have the PLC AV600, and i believe it does not support mesh technology. Nevertheless, i have tried putting my decos in acces point mode and I am getting better speeds but the ms is still high, being at 34 ms while in the main one is 15. Does this happen due to the mode it is in? If it is in router mode should it be in less ms?

In Router mode Main Deco runs under heavier load than in Access Point mode. If you have many devices connected to your WiFi mesh, 30-40 and up, changing Deco mode could make a difference.

 

If you plan to use powerline adapters and yours do not support Deco Ethernet backhaul, consider TP-Link brand, such as "TP-Link Powerline Ethernet Adapter Starter Kit - AV1000 (TL-PA7017 KIT)"
