Low speed over WiFi AP mode
Hi all,
Everything non-moving in our property is hardwired CAT6 (TVs etc) and we get the full 300mb/s from our broadband provider.
However, with the Decos we are only getting around 1/3 of this at all WIFi devices. First Deco is the 'main' with its ethernet then creating the back haul, all wired Cat6.
I changed the MESH network to Access Point (using Ethernet backhaul), but still not getting the full speed through. Hardwired is fine at full speed everywhere.
Just wanted to check if there were any starters I could go with to try and get better WIFi speed via MESH and/or Access points?

While keeping Deco mesh in Access Point mode, force Main Network to run on 5GHz only. You will find this option under WiFi Setting in Deco app:
Also, try different speed test apps and sites. My preferred are OOkla speed test app and fast.com web site.

If that does not help, please clarify this: "Hardwired is fine at full speed everywhere" - hardwired through Main Deco or directly to ISP modem/router?
Also, network diagram would by nice to have, it may help in further troubleshooting.

Thanks both! 5ghz didn't make any difference, I'm still limited to about 90mb/s over WiFi. :(
Network itself is hardwired from ISP router to switch to individual points throughout the house.
One of these goes into main deco, this deco then hard wired into all the following decos via distribution over their own dedicated gigabit tp link POE switch

It sounds like Main Deco having 100Mbps link speed to ISP router instead of gigabit. Is there an "Abnormal WAN speed" alert in Deco app?

Unplug whatever is plugged to second Ethernet port of Main Deco, connect to it laptop instead and run speed tests on laptop wired to Main Deco.
You can also repeat the same with each Satellite Deco to find if they have better than 100Mbps Ethernet backhaul link.
