experience the samething , previously use Deco M9 Plus ( 6 modules ) just replaced with X60 ( 6 modules ) seem like the range drop and speed drop too. example one of the module i actually using the Ethernet cable as backhaul using M9 can go up to 300Mbps download and upload 400Mbps , now with X60 less than 100Mbps for download and upload. 

 

Will revert to my M9 and retest .

I have the same issue.  I have a 1GB internet line coming into the house (Virgin cable Network).  When I test the speed using the virgin WiFi and stand near the virgin router i get about 980Mb/s (expected).  If I connect via Ethernet cable to laptop to the Virgin router i get the same speed.  The speed remains the same when I turn off the WiFi from the virgin router and just test via Ethernet = 980MB/s

 

I connect my Deco X60 to the Virgin router via cable and ensure Virgin router WiFi signal remains off.  I connect via WiFi to the deco and cannot get more than 100Mb/s (standing right next to the deco router).  I connect a second Ethernet cable to the deco router and plug into my laptop and test the speed.  I am again capped to 100Mb/s.  My expectation is for the full 1GB/s.

 

I have also ensured that the deco is fully updated (latest firmware).  I have also tried this in BOTH modes on the Deco (access point or router) and I get the same result.  I have also tested on any combination of 2.4GHz and 5GHz (off or on)

 

So in short, it seems that in my case, I cannot get more than 100MB/s out of this device no matter the connection options (WiFi or direct by cable Ethernet).  I bought the Deco X60 because I was guaranteed faster than 1Gb/s speed.   I am getting 1/10th of the speed expected.

 

This seems to be a problem that is reported often in forums - please someone at TP-Link respond.

I'm having the same issue, paying for 1.5 Gbps down and 1Gbps up. When testing directly with the Modem, speeds are as expected. But for the last 2 months with my Deco x60 (3 nodes) I don't get more than 100Mbps up or down. 

 

Things I've tried:

• Speed test vai WiFi
• Speed test via Ethernet
• Reset each deco separately
• Full reset and reconfig on the nodes switching which is primary
• Test with only one node enabled
• Cleared QoS settings
• Disabled UPNP
• Removed all High priority devices
• Tested with only one device connected to the Deco x60

 

I need a solution to this as this is not workable with the bandwidth demands in my house currently.

@TP-Link The network topology is very simple: 

Modem --rj45--> x60 --rj45--> Laptop (when testing Ethernet connection, from the Status window the ethernet adapter on my laptop the speed is set to 1.0 Gbps) I'd send a screen shot, but not sure how to attach it here.

Modem --rj45--> x60 --WiFi--> Mobile via Deco App (when testing WiFi, less than 3m from the x60, no barriers in between the x60 and my phone [iPhone 7])

 

Please let me know if there is anything else you need.

Hey Bharani,

 

I was able to find a solution, albeit a not satisfactory one, with some TPLink Technicians. Turns out that one of the units was defective and since I was out of warranty they would not replace it.

 

The end solution was to test each of the units separately one at a time connected to the modem to find the defective unit. After that I removed it from the network and now the two remaining units are working at max capacity.

 

With the refusal to replace the defective unit I would probably not buy TPLink again.

HI Plasmarif, That is good to know. I think mine are still under warranty, so I'll try that test with each unit and see if it can be replaced. Thanks for the details.
