Part 1: For the Deco models that support the Test Internet Speed feature.
Tap the Test Internet Speed feature on the Deco app to check the internet speed that the main deco obtains from the front modem.
1. The speed test result shows the speed that the main deco gets from the modem, not the speed on the client connected to the deco.
2. The Test Internet Speed function is only available on Deco M5, Deco M1300, Deco P7, Deco M9 Plus, Deco W3600 V1/V1.2, Deco X20 V1/V1.2, Deco X25 V1, and Deco X60 V1/V2.
3. If you have multiple Deco models forming a mesh network together, the Test Internet Speed will only appear when the above Deco models are configured as the main Deco.
Here we use Deco M5 as an example.
Launch the Deco app, and tap the Test Internet Speed feature on the Network page to test the speed that the main deco obtains from the modem. Please tap Continue on the Privacy Notice page of the Speedtest® if you want to test the speed since this feature is powered by Speedtest®.
Note: The test speed will vary as a result of network conditions, the speed test tool, and environmental factors.
If the speed test result is slow, you can tap the ">" icon below Test Server to select a different server, then click on Done and Test Speed to test the speed again.
If you tap the icon at the top right corner, here is the speed test history.
Part 2: For the Deco models that do not support the Test Internet Speed feature.
For these models, you can connect a computer to the main deco by an Ethernet cable and then go to www.speedtest.net or the Speedtest app to test the internet speed.

The Deco mesh system creates a web-like network of wireless coverage using multiple access points, which eliminates Wi-Fi dead zones and provides seamless roaming. This system is ideal for large environments where traditional routers struggle, providing wider coverage and a stable wireless connection.
app to check the internet speed that the main deco obtains from the front modem. NOTE: 1. The speed test result shows the speed that the main deco gets from the modem, not the speed on the client connected to the deco.
1. Replace the Ethernet cables between the ISP modem, main Deco, and laptop with new cables rated as CAT5E or above, then test the speed on the laptop again. 2. Set a Satellite Deco as The Main Deco: Try using a Different Deco from your Network as the Main Deco; there is an option in the Deco App to Easily swap nodes.
We recommend Speedtest.net, Fast.com, or CloudFlare. Each test should take 60 seconds or less, providing download and upload speeds. Conduct a few Wi-Fi tests for optimal results. W-Fi usage varies from person to person and amongst households, thus so does the Wi-Fi speed you'll need.
How to check the associated speed on a wireless client? Windows: Windows key + “R”->type in ”ncpa. cpl”->right click the “Wi-Fi/Wireless network connection”->Status. Or you may go to Settings>>Network and Sharing Center>>Change adapter options>>left click on wifi adapter, you will see speed, this speed is link speed.
Each Deco unit is powered by a quad-core processor and contains four high-power internal antennas. The router is an AC1300 device capable of speeds of up to 400Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 867Mbps on the 5GHz band.
The true top wireless speed, at least per TP-Link, is 4,804Mbps (4.8Gbps), which is the top speed of the faster of the two 5GHz bands. Each Deco X90 device features a WAN port that supports incoming wired speeds of up to 2.5Gbps.
1) Finding a place for your Deco that's at the same level as the source Deco, do put the Deco too high or too low. 2) Move your Deco off the floor and away from walls and metal objects (such as metal file cabinets). Metal, walls, and floors will interfere with the wireless signals.
This Deco M5 Wi-Fi System supports the 802.11ac Wi-Fi network standard and operates on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies, supporting wireless data transfer rates of up to 1300 Mbps.
Move the connected device closer to your Wifi router or point. Run a mesh test to confirm placement of your Wifi points. Try to move your router or point to a more open or unobstructed location and your router or points closer to each other. Restart your network.
It could be an outdated router. Maybe you have a less-than-ideal router location. You could potentially solve slow speeds with an easy fix, like upgrading to a mesh network (which also has to be set up in the right spot) or simply restarting your modem and router.
Ookla provides a reliable, consistent test experience across devices. Speedtest provides an accurate, consistent test experience that consumers trust across the many device types available on today's market. Our rigorous methodology applies to all of our applications.
Make sure that there are no barriers between the router and wireless device running a speed test, and the best location is 6-9 ft from the router. It's better to put the clients (like phones or computers) and router in the same horizontal plane. 3. Disable the QoS and Parental Settings on the TP-Link router.
How to check network adapter speed from Command Prompt
Open Start.
Search for Command Prompt and click the top result to open the console.
Type the following command to determine the connection speed for all the Ethernet and Wi-Fi adapters and press Enter: wmic nic where netEnabled=true get name, speed.
The best way to ensure that your mesh network is as well-connected as possible is to open its app and check the signal strength of each device, which is something most systems offer.
