Hello everyone,
I am a newbie here and I really hope someone can help.
Today after many years of waiting we finally got FTTP from EE after switching from FTTC with BT previously. On my old setup, I had the BT Smart Hub 2 as the modem and had my TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro plugged into an ethernet port and it provided the same speed as I got through the BT router through the TP-Link Mesh. Today however we had the EE router installed and I thought it would be a simple job of switching the ethernet wires over from the old BT Hub to the New EE Hub but upon doing this I seem to have lost a ton of the speed.
If I connect my PC to the new EE Hub (WiFi or Wired) I am getting close to 900mbps download and over 100mbps upload but if I connect my computer to the TP-Link Deco system which is plugged into the EE router via ethernet I am getting less than 50mbps download and about 15mbps upload. I have some other brands of routers (Netgear and TP-Link) which I have used in the past. If I plug them into the EE Hub I get the same slow speeds. I thought maybe the EE Hub was faulty so I thought I would try the old BT Hub and see if that would even connect which it connected fine with high speeds but again the same issue of less than 50mbps to the connected mesh I use r any of the other routers I try.
I have tried connecting the WAN cable directly from the ONT to the Deco but it doesn't connect so this won't work. I've tried numerous different ethernet cables including CAT8 but none work. If I turn the EE Hub off and the Deco off then both back on for a very short time there is good speed but it then drops down to less than 50 again. I have no idea what to do but it just doesn't work like it did before and I'm not aware of a reason why.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS. I wish to use the Deco mesh because it works better in my home and has extra security features for my family which is why I need to be able to get this working somehow. The EE mesh doesn't seem very good and I had lots of trouble connecting one WiFi Plus to the EE Hub.
