  @BastropGuy 
The message warns about the speed on the cable betwen the Deco and the modem.
Even it the Internet connection is lower, recent modems usually support 1Gb/s on the Ethernet port with the Deco.

  @yves_b Apparently my modem doesn't. Shouldn't be the cable, I'm using the one that came with the Deco.

  @Ryan Day before yesterday I rebooted all the Decos (I hate to do that because it takes most of the day for my 45 IoT devices to find the closest Deco, so some devices aren't connected well enough to function correctly for quite awhile. The "Connection Preference" attribute, which I've set up on all of them is completely ignored, even by the TP-Link switches and plugs which I find weird) and the error message has gone away. The Speed Test also went way up after the reboot. I'd like to regularly reboot, but like I said it causes prolonged havoc.
