@rob5683 if you are testing using wifi the speeds you see are the speeds of the wifi signal in your home which isnt guaranteed.. Given very few apps can use 100Mb/s you sre not losing anything other than a little bit of download speed. As an example streaming video in UHD cannot use more than 50Mb/s usally far less any extra bandwidth is unused.

 

Your speeds will also depend on the WiFi standard of the device and hub as both need to support at least WiFi6 for faster speeds the black Sky hub is only WiFi5 the newer white Sky Max hub supports WiFi6 but its expander pods dont. A direct Gigabit Ethernet cable connection should deliver up to 900Mb/s.
