Slow Wi Fi Vs contract

Manorozco — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 09:31:29 GMT

I recently joined SKY with a contract for 500Mbps, I already connected Sky Hub and the Wi Fi signal works but when I run the speed test it shows a very weak signal.

Attached test result and hub status

@Manorozco

The 500Mbs for Ultrafast 2 (400Mbs Guaranteed Minimum Download Speed) applies to the speed delivered over optical fibre to the router, not WiFi broadcast from it.

@Manorozco

You may get some improvement by moving the Hub away from that cabinet: a large chunk of metal with (presumably) electronic devices inside isn't ideal for WiFi.

thanks @TimmyBGood

not good news for me

Apparently most of the rooms are wired with ethernet outlet coming from a switch,

so any advice to increase wi fi signal? maybe a booster in one of the rooms?
