M4 + E4 Wi-Fi mesh only getting 100mbps
M4 + E4 Wi-Fi mesh only getting 100mbps

Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.8

Hello,


I am only getting ~90 Mbps on my devices but I have a gigabit connection at home.

 

This is my current setup:

1 x Deco M4 (AC1200) (connected to my wi-fi router, the original wifi is disabled)

3 x Deco E4 (AC1200) (setup in 3 different rooms, including the same room as the M4)

 

I have tried this as "Router" and then switched to "Access Point", neither have made a difference speed wise. I never setup QoS, which is the only reason I have found for this to not have worked properly.

 

Connected to the router directly I do get the 1 Gbps connection. 

 

The setup was originally just the 3 x E4 but I upgraded my connection at home recently and I added the M4 as the main access point. 

 

Help would be much appreciated.

@ddebasilio Did you figure out the issue?

Because I am planning to do the same setup after I found out that E4 only support 100mbps and I can not return it.

@Muji 

 

After I destroyed the mesh and started over by setting up first the M4 I did get higher speeds but never close to 1gb. It works around the 200mbps going down the further you are from the first access point. I deemed it sufficient since I have multiple devices and it served as a accidental QoS, but it is not perfect. I am quite disappointed that I didn't originally just buy M4's because there are times when a 1gb over wifi would be great.

@ddebasilio My internet speed is 200mbps but I only get 95mbps with the E4 setup. I'll get an M4 to connect it to the main router hoping to get something near the 200 speed. I wish I knew about this before too. I would have gotten all M4s instead. 
 

thank you. I hope it works.
