Firmware Version: 1.1.7 rel 53484

Hi - I recently had my fibre upgraded from 300mbps to 500mbps and since the upgrade in speed my wifi has been lagging, hanging up and buffering on streaming - none of this happend at 300mbps ! 

 

I have a Fritzbox 7530 wifi 6 router, which I have disabled the wifi on, this then has a deco X10 plugged into it with two other x10 nodes about the house.

Fritxbox is a 1,800 Mbit/s (5 GHz) and up to 600 Mbit/s (2.4 GHz), DSL router. 

I know that the 2.4 Ghz rating on the Deco X10 is only at 300mbps, so I dissabled the 2.4GHz channel on the master unit, leaving only 5GHz in the house.

But it constantly drops out, i loose connection on teams calls, downloading streaming content on Netflix I just watch it buffer 1%, 2% 3% etc... its like dial up !!

 

Is there an issue with my hardware/software ? are faster speeds just less stable !

 

Kinda wishing I never upgraded

Hi, welcome to the community.

Have you also configured Deco X10 into Access Point mode under Deco APP>More>Advanced>Operation Mode?

 

It is also suggested to disable "fast roaming" and "beamforming" under Deco APP>More>Advanced.

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

Hi thanks David, I've not done either of those. Only thing i did was disable wifi on my Fritzbox modem router to prevent any confusion when roaming in the house

  @jimbo_uk Are you facing slow speed on Main Deco Unit or Satellite Units ? And please turn ON the 2.4 GHz WiFi because Satellite Units can create reliable mesh network on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz for better performance. Only 5 GHz is not reliable to create mesh network with Satellite Deco Units and also change your ethernet cable to higher category such as CAT6 CAT6a or CAT7 to get higher internet speed and have u checked the speed by using ethernet connection on your PC or Laptop? Are you getting full speed by using Deco ?
