BT Halo HUB-Device Speed Difference

[Mikehalo]

Hello

Just left Sky and took BT Halo with 900.

As a lot of people i have read, i am getting 900 to the Hub, but only 300 to my device (WiFi) sat right in front of it.

If i move into another room, it drops to about 80.

Have spoken to the help desk, and they say thats a normal  reduction they would expect to see.

Without being nasty, the help desk person did seem to be new at the job, they had to keep going to ask the supervisor.

Is just getting 1/3 of the "advertised" speed normal? 

Thanks Mike

What's the max rating on the wireless card in your device?

Sadly the 2018 smart hub 2 is not the most cutting edge router. 

To get anywhere near 900mbps over wifi you'll need a wifi 6 router 

Bizarrely EE which is owed by BT offer this but BT don't.

What band are you using? It's only on the 5GHz band that you'll get anywhere near the speeds you expect.
