speed test missing from 6E xe75pro, we need this functionality!!
speed test missing from 6E xe75pro, we need this functionality!!
So I upgraded my deco network a third time, in order to get a 2.5g network connection to my over-1g-Internet I am unable to take advantage of with my old deco 1g ethernet interface. My previous decos had speed test, why was the feature removed?
Ok, so now that things are up and running I can't find a speed test option any longer. What? I do not appear to be getting the expected speed, but the router upstream (ubiquity UDM SE) shows full speed to the Internet. The XE75Pro doesn't seem like a pro device, it seems like a downgrade to the network.
Do I need to return these and get Ubiquity AP's?
Disappointed

Why they removed it I'm not sure but you can do a speed test in the Wi-Fi Toolkit

@HelpFixDecoApp I understand the toolkit will do a speedtest on the phone, not on the Deco.

It's all we have until Tp-Link decides to add it back directly into the deco app if they decied to add it in at all

@HelpFixDecoApp It's really disappointing how so many companies like BMW, Tesla, etc.. and TP-Link are removing basic feature's and going to a subscription model for for what were once included in firmware.

I may not have all the information, but it seems that TP-Link is unlikely to reintroduce this feature into the Deco app as a paid option. It appears they simply have not yet incorporated it into the application.

The TP-Link toolkit is highly inaccurate, use an external speed test like fast.com or the like. This toolkit needs updates or a rework.

@HelpFixDecoApp they've removed several features. 6ghz backhaul and OFDMA/MU-MIMO without any explanation.

Have you considered downgrading your firmware to determine if the missing options reappear?
Please visit the link below for instructions on how to revert your firmware to an earlier version. Kindly refer to the section titled "Instructions for Reverting Your Firmware - Basic.

Additionally, if your Deco devices are operating in Access Point mode, that may also explain the absence of those options.

@HelpFixDecoApp I don't understand. My units are in WiFi mode, not access mode, so we can rule out that being an issue. Downgrading the firmware is inconvenient and really, doesn't make sense.
I was told by a representative of TP Link in one of these threads that 1 of the 2 features removed (OFDMA/MU-MIMO) was do to having two different versions of the same router (XE75 PRO).

Did they recommend switching the second unit to serve as the main unit? If the second unit has the OFDMA/MU-MIMO capability, then designating it as the primary unit should enable this feature.
