Model: Deco X60  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version: 1.5.3 Build 20231227

So I recently switched to a fiber internet connection giving me 1GBs down and 1GBS up. I noticed that my download speed through ethernet connection through my deco X60  is slower than when I directly connect my laptop to the modem provided by my internet provider. 

 

Tested on Windows laptop (Windows 11) and Macbook Pro

 

Below are some figures. The strangest part is that the upload speed through a wired connection from the Deco is higher than the download speed, and at a speed I would actually expect.

 

Tested with multiple cables (cat5e / cat6), but since speed directly from Zyxel modem is good, I don’t think the issue is in the cables.

 

I have my QoS settings in my Deco at 940, so that is not the issue either. Mesh is all wired with Cat6.

 

Any thoughts?

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

You could try to modify the QOS bandwidth to 1000mbps download/upload first.

 

Are all the speedtest results from the main Deco X60?

--- Do you use the "inverter" to replace the Zyxel Modem?

 

It is also suggested to set a different Deco X60 as the main Deco to see whether it helped:

Thanks again and best regards.
