Model: Deco M4

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.5.8

Hi All

I have recently upgraded from Virgin 600 to the Gigabit service they provide. Originally when getting the Vorgin 600, I bought the M4 Deco and it served perfectly for the connection I had.

I installed the new virgin router today and on the Wifi through that I am reaching speeds of 900mbps however if i transfer over onto my Deco network, that drops to 400 in the same room.

Am i seeing some form of throttling on this. I am using the Virgin router as a router and the Deco is set as Access Point.

Hi, welcome to the community.

When the internet service has updated to 1G, you might also consider updating the Deco as well, such as our Wi-Fi 6 Decos:

For Deco M4, It has a gigabit Ethernet port so the Ethernet connection could still get close to 1G/s. However, the wireless connection might be a problem. Its wireless specs are

5 GHz: 867 Mbps (802.11ac)
2.4 GHz: 300 Mbps (802.11n)

Basically, the expected 5Ghz internet speed would be 350-600m/s. So 400m/s out of Deco M4 is not that bad.

Thank you very much and best regards.
