Model: Deco X55  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.4.6 Build 20250211 Rel. 39448

My ISP router is giving 100 mbps of download, while my main deco is giving 10-20 mbps. I have tried both ethernet and wifi and no chance. The main deco is connected through ethernet cable to the ISP router. It does not seem to be the cable, since I used the same cable directly to my laptop and got the 100 mbps.

 

I have 3 deco's set up as mesh, 1 connected via ethernet and the other via Wifi. No changes in speed from either. I use the mesh network for my smart home set up, although is not a big set up (mostly smart switches and alexas in an apartment).

 

In my mind this started happening some months ago, but can't pin point when exactly it did. At the beginning, when I first purchased the Decos, the speed was just fine all around the apartment.

 

I really need help figuring out the problem, as all posts and fixed I have found have not worked.

Have you looked to see if QoS is enabled? If it is disable it and see if that fixes the issue 

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

If you have ISP router, you can simplify your home network (and troubleshooting it) by configuring Deco mesh to run in Access Point mode: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/kb/detail/334

  @HelpFixDecoApp Yup. Did that and no change, if anything I was prioritizing the device I was using to test the speed and now I can’t get more than 10 mbps when speed testing.

1. Configure Deco mesh to run in Access Point mode.

 

2. After that, if speeds are still low, check if you see in Deco app error message described in this document: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/621512

Whats the hardware version of your deco? You can find it on the bottom of your deco.
