Hello everybody,

 

I have another question concerning the Deco X90.

 

The device is functioning as access point with a wired back haul. Main unit and satellite are connect at the same switch (not directly connected). 

 

My internet provider deliver a speed of max. 1Gbps and so I don't think that connecting the utp at the 2.5 Gpbs port of the units should have any advantage attempting to create a better back haul connection because both connected to switch (TP) with max handlng capacity of 1 Gpbs. 

 

It seems obvious that you can't exceed the speed of the switch but in IT sometimes strange things can happen. Anyone experiences what this concerns. 

 

I am a tech amateur and a little bit scary for IT experiments at moments where everything is working.

 

Maybe a silly question, but just to be sure ...

Yor bottleneck is your switch, which is a gigabit switch.

Unless you upgrade to a switch like this one there's no point using the X90's 2.5 Gbps port for the wired backhaul.

So my assumption was right. Thanks a lot for your reply. 

 

I think using 2.5 Gpbs makes no sense since my provider delivers max 1 Gps down. Also the cost of the 2.5 Gbps switch is a little bit too high.

Yes, the price is a bit bigger but although your ISP provides 1 Gbps downstream for you, your wired backhaul will communicate at 2.5 Gbps - this means faster transfers in your local network.
