Vodafone Fibre speeds, I have recently changed from VDSL to Fibre but when using the supplied modem I have noticed limited performance over the WiFi connection, I am getting a range of speeds this weekend. Over nine different speed tests i have a wide range of results,

Min Speed Down, 102 Mbps ~ Max Speed Down, 214 Mbps

Min Speed Up, 83.8 Mbps ~ Max Speed Up, 158 Mbps

Any suggestions on how to improve this WiFi speed?

It's very hard to be hitting gbit on wifi, particularly on mobile devices where your likely only getting a 2x2 connection.

 

 

 

i'd be happy with 100-200 from a supplied device. I highly suspect vodafone are still only doing a 2x2 or 3x3 device.

 

even then, there is a question of what sort of config they have opted for, Throughput  configs go at the expense of coverage over distance - Which then lead to customers going "i need more powerful wifi it doesnt reach my basement anymore!"

 

 

 

in my testing, if your lucky with a nice 4x4 device, 700 is doable, but that's basically sitting on the ap and unrealistic to expect that.
