Hi, Sifusss, Im new to mesh wifi stuff.

Recently moved in to 4 storey house so i bought 3packs of TP Link MEsh wifi M4 model.

Currently setup was using TIME 300mbps package and modem have to put at G floor as the fibred cable built into there.

Router im using the mesh wifi router FREE by TIME when i upgraded from 100mbps to 300mbps recently and place at 1st floor living hall.

For the 3 packs of M4 mesh, 1st M4 i set as main deco and plugged into router at 1st floor living hall there.

2nd deco i plugged at second floor small living hall and 3rd deco I put at top 3rd floor inside my master bedroom.

Currently speed was G floor around 20-30mbps, 1st floor can get full 300++mbps, 2nd floor can only get around 60-70mbps and last top 4th floor can only can like 40-50mbps.

Can I ask if these reading were normal for this kind of house and placements?

Or how can I improve 2nd and 3rd floor speed atleast can reach half of 300mbps which around 100-150mbps?

*I tried to move around the M4 deco packs within the floors as well but not much differents.  doh.gif

Seeking advise from you guys! Thanks in advanced~ smile.gif

If you need full speed (or near to full), you must use backhaul or tri-band mesh. These are your only option.
Wifi is half duplex. Mean your 2nd node or satelite will be half of your first node best speed.
Practically in real life your best speed for 1st AC1200 node, about 650mbps. Your 2nd node will be 325mbps while your 3rd will be 162.5mbps. Since your best speed was 300m+. I see that is very normal.

For 3rd node oso only get 30-40+ mbps as well

Yes.
This is based on best result.
The other factors such as distance, walls... will affect your best result too.
