TP-Link - General Advice with unstable network
I have Deco x55s - a set if 3. I have used them for years at my old house snd never had an issue. I just moved and I have one of them in my garage (about 35-40 feet from the nearest deco, which is NOT the main deco) and it is functional, I have a pc and a nas hooked to it and I can connect to them. However - ever since I hooked them up, I am having MAJOR instability on the network. I can run a speed test and get 500 down and 15 ping, and then 5 min later the speed test freezes part way through and has 0.01 mbps upload with 500 ping. It is very inconsistent and is definitely impacting my TVs and their streaming. Is this something with my ISP at the new house or is it related to the deco being on the edge of range and all the focus of the decos is on that? Does anyone have experience with this and/or advice? (Obviously i know I could just not have one in the garage, but I do enjoy having part of my setup out there)
