Hi, I've had my deco system for about a month and it's been working great. I have the comcast 400mbps plan, and on my MacBook Pro (it's the late 2018 model) I can get the full speed + comcast's 20% overprovisioning (equating to about 467mbps). On my iPhone 8, I can only get about 300mbps. This happens pretty much all the time now. It's worth noting that I used to get 400mbps on my phone when I first got the deco system, and I've tried rebooting all the nodes. I guess my phone won't be my primary for downloading large files, but I like to download lots of HD movies :P Any ideas? Thanks!

If you are getting 300 Mbps on your phone, that is actually still pretty good. You can try to mess with some settings in the Deco app such as QoS, beamforming, but I think that might be doing more damage then good given how your cpu seems to be running excellent.

Oh ok, thanks :) Would you mind explaining beamforming?

It is a feature in which a router can "see" where the device is so it will try and provide a stronger signal to it to get better performance.
