Dramatic reduction in speed when my Starlink network goes through TP-LINK Deco X60 v3.20
I installed 2 X DECO X60s to cover 2 floors in my house. Both connected through ethernet cables as access points.
My internet provider is Starlink.
When I connect directly to Starlink router with cable or to Starink wifi, the down speed is 300 to 400 Mbps.
When I connect through the 2 DECOs the speed is usually around 30-40 Mbps. Almost 90% down.
There are no diconnections or error messages. Everything looks normal. Green light in both DECOs, the app shows the deivces connected.
But why so much loss in speed?
Please advice.
Hi, welcome to the community.
Can I have the firmware version of the Deco X60?
Did you run two Ethernet cables directly from the Starlink WiFi router? Or are there reserved Ethernet ports on 2 floors, and Decos are connected directly to the wall Ethernet jacks?
It is suggested to test the Ethernet connection from the Starlink router on the laptop in case the Ethernet connection is capped at 100mbps.
Please also try to disable the 2.4GHz band under the Main WiFi network to see whether the wireless speed would get better when there is only the 5GHz band.
By the way, as for the Backhaul type on the satellite Deco X60, does it show up as:
Wait for your reply。
Best regards.
Dear David, thank you for your reply.
See the firmware version in the screenshots provided.
The connection is through wall Ethernet jacks. The house has 3 levels. Top level is the Starlink router, Middle and lower levels are the 2 Decos. There is a Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. It is not capped at 100mbps.
I will try the 5Ghz option, but I don't think it is the cause of the problem
