Model: Deco X60  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.5.1 Build 20210204

Hi :)

 

I have 1Gbs download and 600Mbs upload speed coming from my ISP. I have a router connected to the optical cable bridging the network to the main Deco X60.

 

The secondary X60 is connected via Ethernet backhaul to the main deco, and on cable I am getting ~850Mbps speeds. However, on WiFi I cannot go above 550Mbps in any case. Funny enough, upload speeds mark higher than download speeds.

 

The PC I am testing on has WiFi 6 with 2.4Gbps max bandwidth. I am in direct line of sight of the second Deco (~1m) and I cannot understand why I can't get higher speeds.


Disabled QoS, Decos are functioning in Router Mode, not AP. And tried pretty much everything I found on the internet as solutions to the problem. Bought the x60 as replacement to M4s, which I figured that will have higher speeds over WiFi 6, but that's not the case.

 

Testing the speed through the Deco App, it rates 850/600 which is kind of what I would expect. Here's the connection profile from my PC:


Protocol:    Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
Security type:    WPA2-Personal
Network band:    5 GHz
Network channel:    36
Link speed (Receive/Transmit):    1201/1201 (Mbps)
Manufacturer:    Intel Corporation
Description:    Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz
Driver version:    22.100.1.1
 

Please help.
