I recently upgraded to Gigafast and have only been achieving max download speeds of around 400Mbps.
I have the previous black Sky Hub and saw that they now have WiFi Max which offers a new hub.
Should I be upgrading to the new hub to get the minimum download speed of 600Mbps or would this not make a difference?
Note: Due to the position of the router/ hub most of our devices have to be connected wirelessly.

Is your 400mbps direct to the hub or via WiFi?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more400Mbs would be a very good speed over WiFi from an 802.11ac (WiFi 5) router, which is what the Sky Broadband Hub is.
The Max Hub is WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and so should be faster, but only for WiFi 6 client devices.
It's perhaps also worth noting that very few individual client devices actually benefit from even a small fraction of Gigabit speed: the point of that kind of bandwidth is really to supply multiple hardware items with 'enough' connection simultaneously.
