WiFi is variable.  Thats why only tests made with a network cable are remotely valid.

The client (laptop/phone/tablet) may, for instance, decide that it thinks a 2.4GHz channel is best.  You'll be hard pressed to get much more than 250Mb from 2.4GHz - 5.8GHz is where you will get the speed.

The router may have a feature called band steering, that tries to persuade clients onto 5.8 from 2.4, though that can bring issues if poorly implemented with connectivity when slightly further from router, as the client may try to hang on to an inappropriate channel.  But worth a go.

Essentially, WiFi is a crap technology, particularly if you live in urban areas, and you're constantly fighting your neighbours for the airwaves, made worse by the fact that nobody sets their 2.4GHz up correctly, and channel bonding cocks it up for everyone else!

1014 down and 873 up sitting in exactly the same place as yesterday, when the figures were around 230 both up and down.

Go figure.

Not familiar with that specific model, but ZyXEL routers tend to fail to live up to claims.  They also tend to be a bit weak on vulnerabilities.

Presumably if you connect a computer to one of the LAN ports on back of router, you get the claimed broadband speed?  If so, might be worth messing with the WiFi channel, particularly the 5.8GHz one (thats the one you'll get all the speed from, its also the one that can't penetrate objects and walls).

Ha ha😛. Good boy for admitting it🤣🤣🤣. I don’t have a clue either, although I have many grandchildren to help me out👍

I rarely pair my phone to any vehicle as my hearing aids are already paired with my phone, so not much need for me to really. I can make/receive calls, play/pause music and YouTube from my hearing aids so I’ve never really bothered too much what our cars can or can’t do.
I just happened by chance to see ‘connection manager’ pop up on the display one day as I started the car and out of curiosity I looked to see what it was. I clicked on the menu and lo and behold there it was, Android Auto as clear as day.

With it now being fitted in the A6, and with the need for my phone to be paired with the car, I’ll be getting in a right tangle.

 

What router have they given you, as if thats WiFi 6 and no walls between your and the router, thats not great

Zyxel EX5601-TO 2.5G with SFP

No idea what that means.

Able bodied couples walking towards me along a narrow pavement, holding hands as if their hands are glued together and refusing to separate to allow other people to walk past them. I refuse to step out on to the road to go around them (unless it’s an elderly couple supporting each other), choosing to stop dead in my tracks so they have to go single file around me, albeit still holding hands.
My wife chooses to barge straight through the middle of them but she’s martial arts trained, so a lot harder than me.

Breaking young lovers apart. Merry Christmas to you too 

Apparently, the "thing" this year is 30' illuminated inflated santas.  I mean, really?

Is Santa black?

Apparently he should be.

No.....he can remain white, he just can't pass judgment on any children other than white children. Apparently, in some cultures, it's not being naughty when you kill people of a different religion.

Plenty fast enough for everyday use. I watch HD films on Netflix, etc, with 75.
