Try changing channel to see if it improves your speed.

Channel 48

Looks like channel 48 is my best bet.
However running the test again and can't reach more than 400Mbps which is a let down.

I guess a third party would resolve this, any recommendation?

Not really, you know your budget and what whistle and bells you want. Personally, I have absolutely no idea what you are going to do with the speeds you are getting on a single device let alone anything faster, but hey ho.

This is a very valid point. Of course what you spend your money on is entirely up to you, but in the real world what do you need to do with your iPhone that you can't do with a 400Mb connection?

Also bear in mind that if you have DV, you'll still need the SH2 connected for that to work. In which case if you really must have higher speeds then a WiFi 6 mesh or access point might be a better solution. But make sure you research real world speeds & don't get seduced by fictional numbers printed on the box...

As for EE, we do have a report today of someone who was prompted to call EE for an upgrade. When they did they were told that the WiFi6 router doesn't exist & that there were no upgrade options. It's all a bit of a mess so far so best sit tight on that one until the two parties have go their act together.
