How do I get Wifi over 100 Mbps on Deco E4?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi.
I have a Deco E4 and have a 300 Mbps broadband connection, but is only able to get less than 100 Mbps Wifi connection (up- and download) with my E4.
I can see that the E4 can deliver up 300 Mbps at 2,4 GHz, but did also read this in a support thread:
"Please note if the Deco model is a product with 100Mbps Ethernet ports, the maximum speed of the Deco system is 100Mbps only".
Now I am a bit confused. How I can fully use my 300 Mbps broadband connection with the E4?
(On a side note, I can around 300 Mpbs if I connect my computer directly to the fiber box, without the E4 in between).
Can someone can elaborate :-)

Hello, Klaus, the Deco E4 has the 100Mbps ethernet ports, with it connected to the modem or other Deco by wired cable, the speed clients can get will be limited by the ethernet ports, which is to say, with E4 wired connected, the speed won't be higher than 100Mbps.
The 300Mbps is not the actual speed, instead, it is the wireless negotiation speed of 2.4GHZ; With Deco E4 connected to other Deco by wireless as a slave Deco, the wired speed from Deco E4 won't be higher than 100Mbps either due to the 100Mbps LAN ports, while cause the Deco E4 communicates with the front-end device by wireless, and the wireless negotiation speed of two wifi bands are 300Mbps and 867Mbps, the wireless speed can be able to reach more than 100Mbps.
Note: The actual wireless speed is about the 60% of the wireless negotiation speed and it is still affected by the bandwidth, interference and network environment.
Back to your case, cause you use the Deco E4 as the main Deco, then the maximum speed is limited to 100Mbps; you can return it and get a Deco with gigabit LAN ports.
May it help.

@Kevin_Z Thanks. So if one uses a Deco M4/M5 as the main node (connected via ethernet) & use Deco E4 as slave nodes, one can get more than 100 Mbps speed on the E4s. Is that correct?
Thanks

Yes, theoretically the wifi speed can be higher than 100Mbps with E4 connected to the main Deco by wireless. The wired speed won't be higher than 100Mbps either.
Good day.

Hi, I am having the exact same issue as you.
May I ask, did you replace the main E4 and successfully get higher speeds with the slave E4s?
Hope to hear back, thank you!

thanks for clarified the problem
just bought the device (E4) and was facing the same difficulty.
can you please suggest if I purchase a new single m4 dome and make it the main hub, whereafter I connect my e4 device wireless, will it upgrade the speed to 300mbps ?
