First MEGA boost would be to move the router from behind the TV! My thought on any BT engineer saying that is not a bad place to put the router are unprintable!!! None of the discs are in good locations, some absolutely appalling!
More mesh points does not always mean better connections and higher speeds!
On the plan he’s on, he’s never going to hit 150Mbps upload unless there is something (not completely unheard of) going on.
With the right third-party equipment you can get Wi-Fi speeds VERY close to those of a wired connection – not hypothetical, I’ve AX3000 devices that connect to the AX6000 router, and Wi-Fi 7 can be even better.
When performing a speed test, don’t put your testing device TOO close to the access point, 1m should be the absolute minimum, or the signal strength can be too high and/or the two Wi-Fi devices can interfere with each other.
When taking any speed-test, make sure you are actually connected to the Access-Point/Mesh-unit that you think you are using. Also, it’s necessary to actually check you have not connected to the 2.4GHz band. Also, also, make sure you are connecting to the same speed-test servers (there are at least four different servers, Leicester – Nottingham – Manchester – Ilkley, shown in the video!).
Also make sure you are being limited by the capabilities of the device you are using to make the test.
I only learn by making mistakes and owning up to them - boy do I learn a lot!
