TP-Link - General More extenders isn’t always better?

0 Upvotes

I recently setup a Be550 pro mesh system: 2 x Be550 pros and 2 re315 to cover 4800 sq ft. The be550 pros cover both upstairs and downstairs well, with the satellite Be550 pro setup asd a wired backhaul. One of the RE315 is needed in the garage, but the other RE315 I’m thinking about just removing all together as it doesn’t seem needed. I seem to recall that more extenders will hurt overall performance…..better to just leave it out of the mesh network?

TP-Link - Technical Support TP-Link Deco X50 capping speeds at 100 Mbps on a Gigabit connection. Help?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have two TP-Link Deco X50 units and a 1000 Mbps internet connection at home. However, the Decos are capping my speed at 100 Mbps, and I haven't been able to get anything higher no matter what I try.
I've tested the Ethernet cables, and there is no issue there. The setup is also correct. When I connect directly to my main modem's Wi-Fi, I can easily get 700-800 Mbps. The problem is definitely with the Decos, but I just can't figure it out.
Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TP-Link - General Details are still sketchy, but it's safe to say these are the upgrades to the previous Wi-Fi 7 models.

TP-Link - General Deco BE25-Outdoor BE3600 Disappointment

Post image
4 Upvotes

I own two BE65 Deco's. One is connected to the router upstairs, the other is downstairs in the Kitchen. No issues inside, and excellent up to around halfway up my garden. However, the top half of my garden is more secluded, as it's where outdoor seating is, and a handful of Wi-Fi devices, such as smart lights and a security camera. Wi-Fi in the top half of the garden is spotty, and devices often keep disconnecting from the network. If I stand in the right place, and hold my phone out/up, pointing towards where the Wi-Fi is coming from, I can get lucky and get 800Mbps in a speed test.

Anyway, to solve the spotty Wi-Fi and disconnections of outdoor devices, I bought a Deco BE25-Outdoor unit.

Before I ordered it, I decided to unplug my kitchen BE65, and set it up in the place where the outdoor unit would go, just to see how the performance was.

I positioned it just before the halfway point of my garden. I stood adjacent to it on the path and did a speed test on my phone. I managed to get my full speed of 945Mbps down. I then went to the top of the garden; signal was great, and stable, and a speed test gave around 700Mbps.

BE25 outdoor unit arrived, set it all up, and placed it where I tested the BE65 yesterday. I did a speed test whilst stood adjacent to it, just like yesterday. All I got was 200Mbps.

The Deco app says the outdoor unit has medium signal to the bedroom unit.

Moved to the top half of my garden, signal on my phone is just as poor as it is without the BE25 running, and speeds are less than 100Mbps.

How can it make everything worse? A BE65 in the same place had no issues.

When checking devices connected to the outdoor unit, and tapping the signal icon to see the dBz, every device says "3"

You also can't see the dBz value of the deco's connection to the main one.

The other thing; TP-Link should also not be allowed to sell it with Wi-Fi 7 plastered all over it. It's not even Wi-Fi 6E ffs

TP-Link - Technical Support BE13000 ExperimentalFirmware

I recently upgraded from a Deco mesh wi-fi 6E system to the Deco wi-fi 7 BE13000 system. This setup is fast with our new 1 gig Gateway fiber. I can download with max speeds of my fiber network. I used to maybe get 500 mbps, but now getting full bandwidth of 1gbps! Now onto the bad news, gaming and network stability have been terrible compared to the old Deco 6E mesh system. The connection has been continually dropping and always in the middle of gaming or streaming. I have been working with TP Link support and was escalated to an engineer who had me instal this new firmware. Ive been on this for a few days and still having instability issues. Time to return to Costco and rebuy to see if I got a lemon or anyone have suggestions. Ive kept my settings stock, except when support had me make changes.
