Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I've had Deco M5 system working well with an LTE modem/router for several years. 

Now I'm attempting to set it up with a new 5G mocem/router (Vodafone GigaCube 5G).

Network speed when connecting straight to the router is around 80-90 mbps. 

With main Deco wired to router, it's about 28 mpbs.

Turning off wifi function on router doesn't change this.

 

My previous modem/router gets lower speeds-- closer to the 28mpbs, ironically-- but doesn't have the drop in speed when connecting to Deco vs directly to router.

 

I'm afraid the problem is with the (lack of) settings on the modem/router. But is there any change to the Deco setup people would recommend?

 

PS Please be kind; this explanation has already maxxed out my tech skills.

Main Deco M5 can provide much faster WiFi speeds than that, when everything is right.

 

You haven't changed any configuration settings on Vodafone GigaCube 5G other than turning off its WiFi, right? If yes, try switching your Deco mesh to Access Point mode and see what it does for WiFi speeds: Switching a Deco to Access Point (AP) Mode
