Hi,

 

Regarding my question regarding the Deco M5 is only 50%, I would like to provide more information.

 

1. The speed is as fast as the 5GHZ when near to the main Deco M5.

2. The speed is about 50% in the room, about 30 feet from the main M5.

 

I also forward you the requested information as follows to your private message:

1. Please leave me a private message about the MAC address of your main Deco.

1. A screenshot of the speed test on the Deco APP.

2. A screenshot of the speed test on the clients on 5ghz.—it would be great if you could test the Ethernet speed from the main Deco as well.

 

My question is as follow:

 

1. Is it normal for the speed to reduce by 50% when the other Deco M5 is away from the main 30 feet away?

 

Hope to hear from you soon.

 

Martin

@MartinChew 

Hi, it required access permission on Google drive.

And I have sent you my email address, could you please send the files via email to me?

The speed would be reduced when satellite Deco is wirelessly connected to the main Deco, and the attenuation rate would be decided by the distance and barriers in between.

Can I also have a picture of the signal source strength on this satellite unit:

I noticed there is a new firmware available for Deco M5 and could you please try to update to the latest firmware:

Deco M5(US)_V3_1.5.7_20210819

Thank you very much.
