Model: Deco XE70 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.11

I just replaced my older Google nest wifi mesh non pro with one node with the Deco XE70 pro with one node and my speeds when doing a speed test is literally half of what I was getting with the Nest. I have 1gb Comcast and my speeds at max 500 - 575 with whatever I use to test the speeds. I would do the same thing on the nest and get 800 easy. Is this anything I should be upset about? I am just a plug and play guy I have no idea about any specific things to enable or disable. I have read a very limited amount of redit posts for the Xe70 that say disable qos and that's off but still speeds max at 500ish. Why am I not seeing 1gb like others are? I'm literally next to the router for the test and computer is less than 10 feet away.

What are you using to test your internet speed? 

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

  @HelpFixDecoApp  just speedtest.net that's all I know. Yesterday after work I did another test and I was maxing out at 350 so it got even slower. This was around 11am. Don't know if the time matters or not
