Deco - Auto negotiation issue - How to override it?
I have the following setup
X60 (Main deco)
X20 (3 nodes) connected to primary deco.
1gbps cables
Internet plan (500mbps)
ISP modem (Archer C5 - 1.2Gbps Wi-Fi speed, 300Mbps 2.4GHz, 867Mbps 5GHz)
The setup to my PC is as follows (lets call this my Ideal Setup)
ISP Fiber cable -> Main Deco (X60. Setup as PPPoE) -> Archer C5 Modem (Router mode) -> MyPC
I am using the archer c5 like a network switch, to be able to get more ethernet ports connected to my Main Deco
Scenario 1: Connect MyPC to Main Deco directly
- Getting correct speed (500mbps as per plan)
Scenario 2: Connected as per Ideal Setup
- Getting 100mbps in most cases (Due to auto-negotiation issue. I am 100% sure this is the issue)
- And getting correct speed in some cases (upon restart. But goes back to 100mbps automatically after a while?)
- There is no cable issue between Main Deco to Archer C5 modem
I need a way to override this auto negotiation setting between Main Deco and Archer C5 modem.
- I have tried searching this in Deco's app and web interface, but I don't see any visibility of the auto negotiation values, nor an option on how to change this.
- I am looking for an interface like this article - What if my Router Speed is capped at 100 Mbps? - Home Network Community
