Model: Deco X50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

 Hi everyone heres some background context

Internet Service Bell Canada 1.5gbps Plan

4000 SQ ft home

model Deco X50

Deco's are in wifi router mode

 

Modem in Basement connected to Main Deco Unit

Sattelite 1 is in kitchen 1 floor above

Sattelite 2 is in Top Floor Bedroom

 

My Deco that is in the top floor is connected by an ethernet cable. I am getting about 800-900 speeds when i connect an ethernet either into the port directly or into the deco x50 so speeds there are pretty consistent. However when i try to connect to the Deco on the top floor using wifi im getting very slow and low speeds raning anywhere from 10-40 mbps. I understand with greater distances wifi speed is slower but i was under the impression with a ethernert cable connected into the deco i should be getting really good speeds. 

 

Am i wrong on this or is there something else happening.

  @Scufflle Connected to what??? To the satellite Deco or the main one?

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

It almost sounds when you are using your "device" via WiFi when you are on the top floor, it is actually connecting to a Deco on a lower floor. For example, you were in the basement, the device via wifi connects to the basement Deco. As you walk up stairs to the top floor, it does not "let go" of that basement Deco connection.

 

Via the Deco app, can you tell what Deco the device is connect to? Does the app allow you to change it to another Deco?

 

I have  been told that device roaming is all about the ... well ... device. The Decos are all there saying "here I am use me". Its up to the device to say "Okay, fine, I'll connect to the top floor Deco, sorry basement Deco, no hard feelings."
