Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.6.2 Build 20240308 Rel. 55841

I'm experiencing relatively slow speeds on one of my 3 Deco M4 units, as it's insisting on connecting to the main unit rather than a closer node.

 

My flat is quite long, and the internet access point (that my main unit is connected to) is in the main bedroom. I have a second unit in another bedroom, which has a medium signal from the main Deco (as there are two bathrooms in the way), and a third unit in the living room - essentially the three units form a straight line, albeit with bathrooms and walls in between.

 

I have fibre internet, and the speed on the main Deco is 500mb/s. The living room gets about 50mb/s, as the Deco unit insists on connecting to the main unit rather than the one in the middle. I imagine the speed would be similar if the living room unit connected to the middle Deco, but I'm unable to test this as I can't find a way to select the source for the living room unit.

 

Am I just being dense, or is there no way to manually select a signal source on the M4 unit?

For this Deco model and its hardware version the only way to enable Select Source feature is to install beta 1.7 firmware version, which is discussed at this forum topic:  Deco M4/S4_V2 Support Connection Preference
