Hey Guys
I ain’t the best re networking tech etc but I know some of you are
After months of waiting, I finally have Full Fibre in the UK, I went with BT and got the fastest package. (Full Fibre 900). Super happy with it so far but need to ask some questions please.
Did a few tests and using the BT Smart Hub 2 router, on Ethernet I was getting 1.1 Gbps but WiFi is only around 410 Mbps, the BT engineer told me the WiFi speeds will improve after around 24 hours after the ONT updates etc.
Is this just BS? As looked online and some say the BT SH2 is capped at around 500Mbps as it used WiFi 5. Or can it reach faster WiFi speeds?
I know first world problems and 410Mbps is still great but paying for the fastest package so that’s what I would like and realistically who uses Ethernet at home? (Maybe into PC but I have Xbox, ps5, Apple TV and around 20 other wireless devices at home)
If I got a 3rd party wifi 6 router, would this cause problems or quite easy to set up and use with my current broadband provider and would this improve wifi speeds please?
Thanks for any help.
