Less than promised Mbps Downlaod

We have noticed a slower WiFi speed on devices. I tested on good internet checker and it states 596.3, which is lower than the guarantee.

@Willia29 speeds over WiFi rarely will reach the full 900Mb/s not thst any devices really need that speed in the first place. Speed tests should be run over a gigabit Ethernet link. To get the full 900Mb/s over WiFi you would need the white Sky Max hub which offers WiFi6 and a device capable of supporting WiFi6 and be in the same area as the hub. Which is out in the open. Even a partition wall will reduce speeds.

Nearly 600Mbs is both extremely good for WiFi and about twenty times faster than any individual device actually needs.
