Deco App needs a WAN speed test
Again, I believe there have been several posts on this topic. I don't have it handy but I believe one previous thread had an official response from TP-Link saying that users should take a laptop with ethernet cable to the ISP modem to do a speed test. What absolutely horrible advice. Putting your laptop directly on a presumably public IP like that! Absoluate garbage. And to top it off, apparently there used to be a speed test function in the Deco Lab tab of the mobile app but it was removed.
I bought the X55 Pro beacuse my ISP has 2Gbps service, and my previous mesh wifi solution only had 1 Gbps upstream. I certianly don't have any 2+ Gbps laptops to test with, so even if I were inclined to follow that ridiculous suggestion it wouldn't provide the testing I need. I want to make sure I am getting the maximum connection speed from my ISP that I have paid for, and I cannot without going out and buying a USB ethernet adapater.
This is another function that I had with the 1st gen Google Wifi, that I no longer have with a Deco unit modle released in 2023 and marketed as Pro.
