You won't get a WiFi 6 hub from BT - all they supply is the Smarthub 2 which is WiFi 5.
But you can buy an EE WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 hub - just Google it and several surprisingly cheap offers come up. And it's been established that EE hubs work seamlessly with BT broadband.
However, and I may be wrong, but I don't think you'll ever get 900Mbps via WiFi. That needs a Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable between the device and the hub.

See my WiFi 5 screenshot

I have BT 500mbps...on the BT router never managed more then 120 mbps over wifi. I invested in the EE wifi 6 router for £35 unopened. 

Now regularly get 510mbps on wifi. 

Do you need 900mbps though?

You'll find in the real world even 500mbps is overkill. Plus it's obviously a lot cheaper.
