Future Consideration Deco app missing "Internet Speed Test"
I recently purchased the Deco X20 to acommodate a 1gig fiber install. I was referred to the Deco X20 by a friend who has a similar setup. On his app he is able to check the speed of the main Deco remotely via his app when he goes to more, and then internet speed test. My app does not show that feature. Is it hidden somewhere in the newer version of the app?

Router side speed test is 100% essential tool on any router/app. What on earth were TP-Link thinking when removing it? Will be returning XE75 Pro set.

@KJ_Cook Pretty sure they didn't want to keep paying Ookla for the Speedtest SDK costs. Funny thing is that Starlink can afford it and so can many other network hardware manufacturers. It is not cheap and from what I understand the pricing starts at $5,000 / year and goes up from there based on volume of requests.

Please add this as a base feature for all Decos
- Testing of speed between main Deco unit with the ISP modem
- Testing of speed between Deco unit and connected devices
Disappointed to find that this feature was unavailable upgrading to the XE75pro from the Google Nest setup.
(The speed test features were available on Google Nest)

@Justin8207 I will add my strong support for getting "Internet Speed Test" back. Just added an X55 as my main deco to get the Wi-Fi 6 speed in that area of my house, and no more "Internet Speed Test" in the app. Really confused as to why TP-Link would not support this on all of their Deco units. We have a goofy ISP here, and I used the speed test a lot when I just had M9's. Very frustrating.

@Justin8207 I agree, the feature is massively missing! And it is a disgrace that it has been actually removed. Also considering of moving to some other mesh system.
