Finally got my 3 dual band Velop setup.
M1 Huawei Fibre Modem only port one has internet service.
So I connected ASUS router to port 1 of Huawei
Connected Main Node to ASUS, then setup the other 2 nodes
All working fine but Velop download speed is only 60Mbps whereas my ASUS router 5G AP can give me 100Mbps consistently
Is there any configuration I miss out?
once you are using mesh network, you have no control over speed already, and there is no way you can maintain consistent speed.
Mesh network uses a dynamic algorithm to determine your device type, device speed capability and how far away are you from a nearest node using RSSI. Although you may have full wifi signal bar, but velop might have allocated a slower band because you were further away just now. There is also a bounce time window, which helps to save power on your device as well, cos band switching is also energy intensive.
Ignore the speed test, as all of us should have gone through the same experience. once you have gotten pass through this stage, use the wifi as per normal and you shouldn't experience any performance issue.
Of cos, if you are downloading intensive things on wifi, you should consider cable. Torrenting on wifi is just not the forte of velop.
If, by any chance your transmit region is set to a country other than United States, then probably you might wanna consider switching the region to US. US transmit region uses the best power output for your wifi, and that is also about higher energy consumption. I have been using US region and never looked back. Better coverage, better speed.
