Hi i have had  full fibre package for about a week with the BT complete wifi 2 discs  i have been getting about 300 down with  both discs which is ok and about 600 down close to the  SH2 router any idea if it worth getting a wifi 6 router to get closer to the 900 mbps and any idea if it would work with Complete wifi?

WiFi-6 enabled routers are always going to perform better for sure.

Here is my Asus RT-AX88U  performing via WiFi-6 direct to my Gigabyte laptop.

I cannot help regarding the complete WiFi system in your home.

This is direct to my iPhone 11  from the same router.

Do you have the Acer router and put the SH2 in modem mode or you have got rid of the BT router.   Bought the Honor Router 3 Wi-fi 6 yesterday evening supposed to be good router.

Hello Tom, With FTTP you obviously don't need a modem as the ONT (Optical Network Terminal) does that job.

Just running my Asus RT-AX88U Router because my install was brought forward and my Home Hub 2 has not been delivered yet.

Expecting it today as it happens but won't be fitting it as my Asus is doing the job fine as you can see.😊

I have received my wifi 6 router today and didnt see a difference in wifi speed roughly the same at 600 max output with only one device connected.  I only had fibre for about 1 week and half and must be that the line needs to settle.

600Mb is about par for the couse wireless. If you want 900Mb use a wired connection.

is it worth to keep the Wifi 6 router then  BT SH2 into a modem i guess that my BT complete  black disc will work and the BT  Voice service.

If you want digital voice you have to have the hub as the main device. It does not have modem mode anyway as the ONT performs that function.

 ahh ok i would just have to keep it connected to the BT SH2  to the ethernet and then   Lan to the Wifi 6 router.   not sure if there would be inter-fence though as the BT SH2 is still beaming wifi.

Turn off the hub WiFi.
