Bad performance, bad coverage, no dns, no ...
Hi all...
I bought a 3-pack with Deco M9+ a couple of months ago, and it has been a big disappointment. I might have to swithch to another brand, as they fail to deliver basic functionality.
1) The network-performance is terrible, especially when in routing mode. This counts for both wired and wifi, where max when next to the main router is around 500 Mb/sek. PC directly to cheap router delivered by internet-provider is 900 Mb/sek.
2) If i set up wan with vlan - which i have to if i dont want the extra router provided by my ISP - I cannot use the second port in the Deco. How brilliant is that?
3) The Deco router cannot act as internal dns server for devices connected to the Deco network. First router i have ever met without this function, and it makes it unusable for all my smarthome devices.
4) The Deco performs 20% better in AP-mode, but then the ability to reserver ip-adresses to devices is lost. The coverage is still not impressive.
If You do a search on Deco Mx and performance, you will see that it is a general issue with this box.
