Discussion topic: Wifi getting slower

This message was authored by: IdaH · ‎21 Jul 2024

I have fibre and normally fast.com shows between 900mg-1g but the last couple of days its only been showing 340mg. I havent made any changes to anything, it seems like the speed has just dropped. Did the tests in the Sky app and they say that everythings good. Anyone experienced anything similar and know what might cause it?

WiFi is an inherently unstable medium: both the wireless signal from your own Hub and any neighbouring routers or access points can change over time (particularly as they automatically shift band to avoid congestion), as well as potentially being affected by electrical devices in your own and other properties.

If possible it's important to try and test speed over an ethernet device with a gigabit chipset: that's the only way to confirm that Hub speed is still being delivered.
