Model: Deco XE75  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have a XE75 Deco system. I've run the interference optimizer, on the latest firmware, they are all on the same (primary/non-guest, non-IoT) network, and have set my four test devices to have "high priority" in the app.

 

I've been testing from four devices:

  • A new M3 MacBook Pro (on wifi 6)
  • An older Dell XPS running Windows 10
  • An older 2015 MacBook Pro
  • A home server running Unraid, which is connected to the base Deco node by a cat6 cable. (Per specs, each node has three gigabit ports.)

 

As a baseline, speedtest.net currently gives about 114mbps download speed from the open internet.

 

I'm using the iperf3 tool to measure network speeds. Between any two of the above devices, I'm getting transfer rates of about 47 mbits/sec -- that's less than 6 mbytes/sec. This can't be as designed.

 

Any ideas? This is really bad, and basically makes my home storage server useless. It took an hour to transfer 20gb!

  @Zudnic 

You are testing between two devices,

  1. A home server running Unraid, which is connected to the base Deco node by a cat6 cable
  2. what is the other device, how is it connected to what?

 

What is the setup providing the 114mbps download speed from the open internet?

  @yves_b thank you -

 

The server is wired by cat6 to the base Deco unit.

 

The other computers are connected by wifi to the Deco system. They are not on the guest or IoT networks.

 

To check open Internet speed, I simply opened speedtest.net and ran the test on one of the laptops on wifi. It demonstrates the bandwidth is capable of much higher speeds than I'm getting.

  @Zudnic Do you mean a laptop has higher bandwidth with internet than with a server wired on the base Deco?

 

Do you run your Deco mesh in Router or in Access Point mode?

 

Are your Deco wired with each other?

 

Please describe your setup.
