    940mbps is not 9.4MB/s. The transfer rate should be about 110MB/s if it's at full speed. Using a mesh system could slow the overall transfer speed depending if your PC is plugged into the one connected to the ONT or one of the other M5s.

     

    Put the T3200M on the ONT instead of the M5 and then test your download speeds on your PC when it's connected by ethernet. 8-10MB/s is not fast for Steam downloads. I'm on the same gigabit plan and I get far higher speeds when downloading from Steam or from other sources. If the M5s can be set to act as wireless access points instead of as a router, they can also be connected to the T3200M.

     

    As I have said before, plugging your PC directly to the ONT is not recommended. If you aren't that familiar with networking, I would say never connect your PC directly to the ONT.

Keep in mind the ONT is not a router. All it does is convert fibre to copper. Only one port on the ONT is going to be active. There is no way to activate the rest of the ports.

 

Connecting a PC to the ONT is not a recommended practice as it would expose it directly to the internet. It would also be outside of your home network. The only way to connect two devices to the ONT is with a gigabit switch connected to DATA1 on the ONT. If you need more ports on your home network, attach a gigabit switch to the ethernet port on the Deco M5.
