You are unlikely to get anything like the full speed over wireless, on a single device. Even on Ethernet, you need a high specification device.
It was never intended that people get 900mb on all devices, especially on a wireless connection. The intention is to allow that bandwidth to be shared among family members and multiple devices, without each user noticing any slowdown.
Here is a quote from old post by @SeanD on 18/06/2021
"I think for the first time ever we are in a situation whereby the speed you can now get through Full Fibre outperforms the capabilities of many devices.
The Smart hub 2 does not come with Wi-Fi 6 but this is something we are looking to include in our next generation of Hub. I don't have any info as to when we will launch a new router by Wi-Fi 6 will bring some improvement.
As an example of what I mean in terms of devices not being able to support the full breadth of speed available on Full Fibre 900, take a look at the table below. This is just for a couple of Apple Smart Phones and Tablets along with popular Samsung models,
Apple (Smartphones) | Dualband (2.4 & 5Ghz) | Theoretical Max speed on 2.4Ghz connection | Theoretical Max speed on 5Ghz connection |
IPHONE SE | Yes | 60mbps | 300mbps |
IPHONE SE 2020 | Yes | 135mbps |
600mbps |
Samsung (Smartphones) | Dualband (2.4 & 5Ghz) | Theoretical Max speed on 2.4Ghz connection | Theoretical Max speed on 5Ghz connection |
galaxy-s10e | Yes | 135mbps | 600mbps |
galaxy-s10-5g | Yes | 135mbps | 600mbps |
Apple (Tablets) | Dualband (2.4 & 5Ghz) | Theoretical Max speed on 2.4Ghz connection | Theoretical Max speed on 5Ghz connection |
IPAD pro 3rd gen (Nov 2018) | Yes | 135mbps | 600mbps |
IPAD pro 4th gen (March 2020) | Yes | 135mbps | 600mbps |
Samsung (Tablet) | Dualband (2.4 & 5Ghz) | Theoretical Max speed on 2.4Ghz connection | Theoretical Max speed on 5Ghz connection |
galaxy-tab-s5e | Yes | 100mbps | 300mbps |
galaxy-tab-s6 | Yes | 60mbps | 600mbps |
@PB54 The router will always report 1000Mbps as that is the link speed between the ONT and the router. You can't see the received rate with FTTP as that is only seen at the ONT which isn't user accessible.
I would concentrate on the Ethernet connected device first. Can you check if in theory it’s network card can deal with 500mbs.
