no...must connected via the same phase. to be honest, no matter how fast speed quoted on your powerline networking, you will only get less than 100mbps. trust me. wired cat5e or cat6 connection is always the best. lol

hi,

just need the advise on my new RE650, configured as an wired AP from the main router (dir-882, gigabit LAN), once i connected to this RE650 via wifi on my note 8, signal strength and wifi data link is 866mbps (5ghz band), but when i did the unifi speed test to TM server (or singtel), only get 200mbps (unifi package 300mbps). CH width set to 80mhz, and channel set to auto. when i swap to my RE450 and connected to his wifi, i easily get 280 - 310mbps on the speed test on my note 8 (channel width also 80Mhz and channel set to auto). so, my LAN cat5e connection is fine in this case right? just now i update my RE650 firmware to the latest one (RE650(US)_V1_180719), do the speed test and even worst, get 90mbps only. could it be the defect item that the shop gave to me?

i saw on my packaging, got RE650(AS) thus compatibles with the new firmware after i check on the global TP link website, btw later i have a try to flash back with the stock firmware either i have a luck or not.

yes... at least, to me it's a minimum requirement to enjoy that speed on wireless, unless you don't care much about the speed as long as got the internet. lol

this is mine....M9 plus as an AP using ethernet backhaul from mikrotik rb4011igs+rm router, configure as a STAR connections.

ethernet backhaul consists of 2 method, chain or star?

Seem to be your wifi protocol was set only for 802.11ax, that why other device with wifi g/n/ac can't see. just look back on your setup and set it to 802.11n/ac/ax, so that old device can see.

thank you.

Hi

if you unsure, just leave the channel to auto.

deco X90 still not yet in malaysia i think. lol

what is your internet connection speed? before i can share my thoughts.

tq

ok...similar with mine, to be honest with you, to deal with that speed especially on wifi, you need a powerful machine, either from the main router itself to until the wireless AP, unless you don't care much about the speed, as long as you got internet. i have tried :
1. Mikrotik wired RB750gr3 as a main, after TM ONU
2. via LAN from Mikrotik RB750gr3 : 1 length CAT6 to Dir3060 at living room, 1 length to Dir 882 at upstairs room 1, and another Dir882 for master bedroom upstairs, all as an wireless AP, 5ghz band, protocol AC only, same SSID, same password but different channel, for the benefits of the roaming purpose.

observation : 1. since my mikrotik only dual core 880mhz, 256MB RAM, it's run up to 80% (without fasttrack enable) during the full bandwidth running at 500mbps. i have about 10 device connected on my house. 2. slightly delay on the roaming experience maybe due to the absence of the mesh capabilities. 3. overall wifi speed inside my house is within 350 to 450mbps. i'm using wireless networking apps to measure the wifi signal coming to the device.

until...,.i get the free deco mesh m9 plus from the TM, and get the new powerful mikrotik RB4011igs+rm wired router (google for the spec) to replace the whole of my above setup, it's changed the whole wifi experience in my house. with the mesh capabilities, all connected via LAN for the ethernet backhaul, really impress me and my family. as an additions to that, i'm waiting for my 2 unit deco mesh X60 to arrive, to add to the network via LAN later.

my advise, get the good mesh wifi, as an long investment, consider the minimum spec similar to the tplink mesh m9 plus. higher the better. get it connected from your AX20 either via the chain method or star method and not via wifi. good luck.

if i'm were you, since Ax20 also have a mesh capabilities, just use it as a main, deco unit 1 as an wired AP slightly further away. if you don't have any LAN ready beyond that, just install another deco unit 2 at other area you need and let deco 1 and 2 communicate via wifi backhaul.

if you intend to access remotely, beyond your LAN networking, you should assign the fix IP so that you can enable the port fowarding and use the dynamic DNS for that.

my correction...DHCP is always auto. after the first ip assignment to the device, we configure or set whatever ip allocated by the dhcp to be static/fix.

see to be no backhaul on one mesh. read this:

AX50 actually only with a dual core cpu as compare to AX20 quad core. where in theory can do more. BTW, please confirm that no Qos was set.

Ok, i do believe you are using same LAN cable on the ONU to the default router and to PC = 500mbps while after swapping to AX50 = suddenly only get 300mbps. base on the Qos snapshot, seem to be the default router with his telco firmware works better. i think both router with the same powerplant, only AX50 is a wifi 6. wait some expert to guide you further.

to be honest with you, i spend a lot $$ on the equipment, trying and error people said, just to deal with that 500mbps especially on wifi. finally the best setup and guarantee speed on wifi (at the most area on my 2 storey house including in the toilet, not lower than 330mbps) = Main wired router Mikrotik RB4011igs+rm, 2 unit Deco mesh X60, 2 unit Deco Mesh M9 plus (free from TM) and all of them connected via CAT5e/CAT6 cable dedicated direct from the main Mikrotik RB4011igs+rm router.

yes..... all my deco is on AP mode with Star network method, i.e. all via CAT5e and CAT6 individually direct from mikrotik router. one of them, X60 mounted at 7 feet high at my living room.

below a speed taken just now. seated about 15ft from the router.

you need to configure your wifi security to WPA3. if not available, at least WPA2 + AES.
