Hi,
I've changed my setup to use deco as main router, but am experiencing speed drops on LAN from 900+ to 90+ on my 2nd Deco, but the rest of the devices are still 900+
All wires cat6
Seems like it dropped from gigabit to megabit speeds

Attached the setup changes below.
When i change it back to setup A the speeds are back up again

WIFI speeds are still 500-700+ on iPhone/iPad/Apple TV around the house 

Also tried marking device as high priority

 

Multiple devices connected to all switches.

Hi, welcome to the community.

Have you also tested the wireless speed from the 2nd Deco X60 here:

I see you also used the TP-Link switch and can I have its model number?

Have you checked the Ethernet port indication? is it green or orange?

Since the 3rd Deco X60 could still get 900+, I think the ports 1+2 should be fine. Have you tried to connect the laptop and TV to other Ethernet ports of the switch?

Thank you very much and best regards.

  @David-TP 
Switch Model: TL-SG108(un) v6.0

Light is green

Tried switching ports around, still same speed. (Without switching ports, in setup A i was getting gigabit).

Tried deco to PC lan directly speed went up to gigabit. moved it back to switch and it went down again.

With setup A to Setup B, I didn't change any ports. took wire going from modem to router to modem to Deco and changed main deco to router mode.

  @amornn Can you show screenshots of the mesh (how Deco are logically interconnected) in Router and in AP mode?

What is your QOS setting?

  @David-TP Is it a good idea, in Router mode, to connect wired devices on a switch used for Ethernet backhaul?

  @amornn I suggest testing with QOS disabled.
I do not understand how both satellite Decos could establish an Ethernet link with the main Deco.  To me, it contradicts your network map.
