The issue is not the wireless speed. The issue is the wired network speed. If you have a wired backhaul then the loss of speed at every mesh node will be noticeable. If you use the built-in wireless...

@David-TP Can you please post the 1.6.1 firmware?

@Schueler Hi! Yes, wiring the decos will provide each of the deco with what the switch is capable of and mostly it will be at least 1Gbps and hence there will be no much reduction in wireless speeds....

@Wizman It is how the system works. For every hop, there will be a speed reduction of 50%. The back haul 5GHz channel (the second 5GHz) is supposed to mimic the wired back haul but I think the decos...

@David-TP Updated all my decos with V1 and V2 versions of 1.6.0.... so far so good..... was running the 1.5.0 test version earlier but 1.6.0 looks like is faster than before....

@David-TP Many thanks for the effort. Check the caption and link.... it says v1 but linked to v2 firmware and it says v2 but linked to v1 firmware..... oversight I guess....haha
