Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hey guys,

Our house divided into 4 buildings, and except one, they have Deco M5 (9 units overall)


My questions are :


1) Since they all connected wirelessly and all in different buildings, signal travels from 1 building to yard and to Deco. Does such things like weather, humidity, rain, snow, etc affect our performances of Deco ?


2) The furthest Deco have 2 Decos between (nodes), before reaching Main Deco, will this somehow affect performance, like high ping and some packet losses ?
In other words, will farthest Deco have less performance, compared to Main Deco ?

Here's our home layout:

1 - in different building 
2 - 2nd floor different room
3 - 2nd floor different room
4 - 1st floor hallway
5 - 1st floor hallway (Master Deco)
6 - 1st floor different building
7 - 1st floor same room as 6
8 - 1st floor same building but different room
9 - 1st floor same as 8, but different room


1 mostly connect to 5
2 mostly connect to 3
3 mostly connect to 5
4 mainly connect to 5
5 main Deco
6 mainly connect to 5
7 mostly connect to 6, sometimes 5
8 mainly connect to 6
9 mainly connect to 8

1. I've seen cases of physical obstacles cause issues, but weather may play a factor too.

 

2. Yes, the furthest Deco will not have the same performance compared to a Deco near the main Deco. Every additional hop the Deco needs to go through affects performance. To help with performance you can connect an Ethernet cable instead of relying on Wi-Fi from one Deco node to another.

Hi,

Do you have any numbers about nodes ? 
Like how many drops of % should we expect from each added node ?

If it's just barely 1-2% it would be alright. Hopefully not half of the performance

There aren't exact number, but what will happen is the Deco will see what band is least used / best for speed and use that to communicate with the other Deco, so it changes.
