Deco X60 slows significantly when prioritizing device
I am using the latest release firmware for the Deco X60 and have discovered what looks to be a firmware issue. When doing a speed test from the router using the tplink app I would consistently get around 950Mb up/down (as expeted with the 1Gb service I have). When performing a speed test on my devices, however, I would see around 100Mb down and around 11Mb up (or much worse). I also have had other networking issues which I couldn't explain. After doing some debug I found the root cause of the issue to be enabling the prioritization of my Ooma phone from within the Tplink app. That was the one and only device I had prioritized. Once I disabled prioritizing my Ooma device I was able to get over 700Mb up/down with the speed test from my laptop. Similarly, my other devices confirmed the improvement.
The odd thing with this is I have a second location with the X60 and a Ooma device that is prioritized and don't see this issue. The ooma device on for this network is many years old while the location with the issue has a new Ooma. There may be other variables at play here (e.g. location without the issue uses PPoE and VLAN tagging while the other does not), but I wanted to pass this info along.
This is informational for your engineering team to be aware and perhaps for anyone else out there who may be experiencing similar issues. I figure this is likely an edge case as it clearly wasn't a problem for similar setups at 2 different locations (although not the same configuration as I've explained above).
