Model: Deco BE85  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.0.15

I have a few issues and questions. I've tried several Deco models and settled on the BE85. I have two of them. I have tried AP mode and currently in router mode. 

 

My questions/issues:

1. I only have 80 MHz and 160 MHz channel width options for 5 GHz. I live in Canada. Is 240 MHz not available here? 

2. DECO app on Google Pixel is terrible. It constantly disconnects if I go away from the app. I have restart app to get connected and updated data. This isn't the case on iOS with my IPad or wife's phone. 

3. Is there anywhere in the app or web interface of Deco to see what speed the wired back haul is connected at? 

 

Thank you..

  @winsor50 I believe the only channel widths available in 5Ghz are 20Meg, 40Meg, 80Meg & 160Meg.  In 6Ghz there is also 320Meg smiley

@winsor50 

The 5Ghz of Deco BE85 supports 802.11be and it could use a non-contiguous 160+80 MHz bandwidth, which is what we call 240MHz.

However, it couldn't be edited or viewed anywhere on the Deco APP. 

The mobile clients need to support 802.11be over 5GHz to use 240MHz.

 Usually, it will be mentioned on the official website if 240mhz is not supported, and I have seen such a notification on the AU site:

Thank you very much and best regards.

  @David-TP I am located in Canada and have not seen such restriction.

 

I also have a Google Pixel 8 Pro which indicates Wifi 7 when connected to any band. Specs on the Google website show Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) with 2.4 GHz + 5 GHz + 6 Ghz, 2x2 + 2x2 MIMO. 

Also, when using the WiFiAnalyzer app I only see 160 GHz being broadcast by Deco on 5 GHz and 6 GHz. 

Correct, the only channel widths available on the Deco app for 5 Ghz are 80 and 160 MHz. My intenet service is 3 Gbps FTTH and I do not see any better speed on my phone with 6 GHz as opposed to 5 GHz. Standing next to the main deco I get at most 1700 mbps.

@winsor50 Why the hell do you need 240 MHz? 160 is more than enough

Just a M4 (2-pack) user who regrets buying it
