Slow speed despite app saying 500+
I live in a very small flat and somehow I can't get good wifi service in my bedroom, which is less than 3 metres from my router. My app says speeds of 500+ most of the time, nothing below 450 but my PC has a download speed of between 5-15Mbps. I often disconnect my phone from the wifi as my mobile signal is better. Why is this happening?

Re: Slow speed despite app saying 500+
I'm experiencing the same issue, only today. All checks say everything is fine, but averaging 20mbs which should be 450-500mbs.
all resets complete, but same issue every time. Hopefully someone can advise.
