Am using the AX20 router which comes with independent FEM. Anybody know what is the transmit power (mW) of this router?

I doubt any brands still disclose it as transmit power don't matter as much these days since WiFi is a 2-way communication.

There will be no data transfer if it couldn't "hear back" from you devices as your mobile device transmit power is definitely much weaker.

That's why manufacturer put more focus on antenna gain and interference mitigation instead.

You can probably still check it on FCC filing docs.

Thanks for the insights!

In Deco apps, go to More for Router Setting > Wi-Fi, disable 5Ghz and try to reconnect Astro decoder. Once done, you may enable 5Ghz back again.

I have the Deco E4R. I noticed that there is firmware update version

1.4.3 build 20200918 rel 44982.

It says here fixes Wifi WPA2 encryption
Option to choose encryption type

Anyone tried it?

For my astro decoder problem, I resorted to connecting the astro via ethernet wire cable directly to the deco itself.

Hi, I owned AX20 and was using it around 1 month, but only using with 1 unit.

I placed the main unit in living room, and recently i was setting up another unit at upstair. I noticed the transmission speed is significantly drop nearly 40 - 50%.

How can I make both units to transmit at the max. speed? I heard of the ethernet backhaul, but, are there any other solutions?

Also, I have another issue, the main unit in the living room, 1 ethernet port has connected to the modem, and i tried to connect my few laptops to another ethernet port, the laptops show no connection.

Hi All,

Just got an X20 (2 pack) during 11.11 to be used for my 1.5k sqft condo. Am currently subscribed to Time 500Mbps and X20 is setup as router mode. There are few issues that I am facing

On Main Unit
1. Speed test are getting only around 250MBPS even i am standing next to it.
2. Test is done using Galaxy Note 9 through speedtest.
3. Wifi speed on the phone settings is showing 867MBPS.
4. My previous router ( ASUS - AC87) can get speed around 400mbps.
5, Tried speedtest morning, afternoon, night = same result
6. Enabled/Disabled 2,4Ghz/Beamforming/FastRoaming = same result
7. Speedtest using TPlink app showing 520 mbps

On Slave Unit located in Room around 15ft away (behind walls)
1. Connection dropped till 50mbps
2. While playing games (CS:GO) it always show internet time out after every 8s and reconnect back...happens almost at fixed 8s intervals.
3. Moving slave node next to PC solved the internet time out; PC to original slave node location is <5ft. What??
4. Enabled/Disabled 2,4Ghz/Beamforming/FastRoaming = same result
5. PC is using a nano USB ASUS AC53 receiver.

Just got the unit 2 days ago and i am already very frustrated and disappointed. This is supposed rated 4k sqft coverage. Seeking help from sifu/otai here to help and guide me to the light...

Another thing you can try is to reset the x20 to factory defaults and configure again

Since you already moved the slave unit next to your PC, can you try and connect your pc to the slave x20 via ethernet and run a speedtest?

That will be the last resort. Connected LAN to the slave node and its getting 115mbps

X20 don't have a dedicated channel to communicate with each node, speed drop to half is very normal...

250MBPS = 2000Mbps what u expecting?

Left is ASUS - AC87, Right is Deco X20


you are downgrading instead of upgrade... u just upgrade from Wifi 5 to Wifi 6.

EA-AC87 Selling price is RM580 1 unit, Deco X20 1 unit only RM350+-

Get the Deco X60 or M9 might get upgrade feel a bit...

Yep it doesnt come with a backhaul. Sorry my typo on the capital letters, shouldb be Mbps.
You may be right i am downgrading on the speed (if i were to maxismise all of it) but I wanted mesh to improve overall connectivity around the house.

Right out of the box, it should be getting closer to my ISP speed of 500Mbps and not 250Mbps.

If possible i really would like to try out a back haul capable router for my unit layout before deciding on one..

Honestly play game is more about latency and upload speed...
For better speed test u should test with transfer file through network...

what unifi plan are you on ?

your router upstairs is set AP and connect via Lan to main unit or ?

500mbps

No I didn't. I just turned on 2nd unit and it automatically paired with the main unit. Then I placed it on upstairs.

what version AX20 you have , both are V1 or ?

i did test mine a Asus /main , AX20 / AP wired with lan cable . both can get max speed of 100Mbps as my unifi plan .
you can try this to see if you get the speed u should.

eh, AFAIK, according to TP LINK, AX20 does not support mesh mode when using router + router. In your case 2 x AX20. How sure are you that the 2nd unit pair automatically?

As long as single SIID and when you walk from one node to another (with some distance apart) the wifi signal stay full bar?

Hi TP Link,

I am thinking to get this Wifi smart plug with energy monitoring for some specific experiment.

1. What is the minimum interval to sample average power consumption? (day?hour?min?sec?)
2. Can we perform measurement(eg: 5min) and exporting 5min data out to text file? or CSV file?


If no, is there any other tp link product that support above feature?

Or if there any handsome LYN master can recommend me some alternative product?

Nope, tplink onemesh will not auto pair, you have to set it up.
It doesn't even support ethernet backhaul

In short, your second unit of AX20 is just sitting there as an ornament wasting electricity
