I have 3 Deco XE70's connected to a fiber modem.  After initial setup about 6 months ago all worked great.  Sometime a couple months ago some smart devices stopped working (blink cameras and Delta faucets), and wifi internet speed tests from my laptop showed slow (5-15 Mb/s) download and still screaming upload (500-800).  I have no devices with ethernet ports, so I couldn't test the modem directly.  Fiber company came and checked and said all was fine.  Most web browsing seemed fine and all streaming (firestick and Roku) was also fine.  I tried checking speed with my phone (S24) and it was fast up and down.  I deleted the network and set it up several times.  The behavior is still the same.  Super frustrating is that some download sites don't work at all (Windows update and Adobe).  Also, Adobe Lightroom can't up or download.  But I can download a 300 Mb file from Google drive in seconds.  Then I noticed that some websites just didn't work at all.  I tried hotspotting with my phone and those same sites worked fine.  I also use the same laptop on other networks, like hotels and my hospital and business with no issues.  Lastly, every time I have deleted and set up my network again a 6 GHz ID is not visible.  Initially there was my main network ID (bzyair) and a 6 Ghz ID (bzyair 6G).  My laptop and phones are new enough to see 6G and now do not.

I like the look of the Deco, the pricepoint, the initial ease of set up, and the app; but this is nonfunctional.  I'm about ready to chalk this up to a bad investment and get an Orbi.
