Issue after upgrade firmware - Deco M5

2021-11-30 18:01:58

Model: Deco M5

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 1.5.7 Build 20210819 Rel. 43499

Has anyone here had problems updating the Deco M5 to firmware 1.5.7 Build 20210819 Rel. 43499?

My environment:

3 Decos M5 V3,, all wired.
Internet speed: 300MB/Download - 200MB/Upload
Modem ISP (bridge mode) -> Deco main (wired to deco2) -> Deco2(wired to deco3) -> Deco3

When I'm connected to the main Deco, my speed reaches 295Mb/Download and 180Mb/upload.

When I'm connected to the other Decos they are wired to, my speed doesn't exceed 90Mb/Download and Upload.

With the other firmware I had (1.5.4 - Build 20210302 Rel.57126), this did not happen.

The connection is slow only on Decos(2 and 3 ) that are connected to the main one.

Has anyone ever experienced this? Can you help me?

Tks.

@alexfmachado

Hi, thank you for the feedback.

I think there might be two possible reasons:

1. the Ethernet cable between the Deco is only up to 100m/s.

2. the Link speed of Ethernet ports on the satellite Deco is only 100m/s.

So there are some suggestions for your reference:

1. Swap a new cable, cat 6 or 7 would be perfect.

2. Unplug the Ethernet cable between main Deco and Deco 2, plug your computer via Ethernet cable to main Deco and check the Ethernet link speed on the main Deco;

How to check the associated/link speed on a wired client

3. Then check the wireless speed and Ethernet speed on Deco 2 when it Is wirelessly connected to the main Deco.

Thank you and wait for your reply.
