I just bought and set up the TP-Link Deco X25 3 part mesh network.
Goal was to improve wifi to my basement, so I have one with the main router/modem in my wifes closet. (I know it is not an ideal spot).
The other heads are in my living room directly above my PC in the basement, and the third is directly next to my PC in the basement.
It did a great job of brining me from 20 mbps to over 150-200 in the basement which is plenty for my needs but it seems to constantly drop down to a 1-2mbps crawl randomly and the way to resolve it is unplugging the deco next to my PC? Is it bad for it to be directly next to the PC for some reason or is something defective? I do have a 6ghz capable modem as well but I opted to go with the 5ghz setup due to the mesh network price being $180 vs $400.
My desktop has a wifi 6 PCI-E card in it. The deco is about 2 feet above it on top of my desk with the PC on the floor.
