Reply To: Full fibre Wi-Fi speeds XT8 Hi we have recently upgraded the BT package from 500mbps to the full fibre 900. When using Lan speeds they are fine however over Wi-Fi it doesn’t go above 650…

I have done some investigation and if you switch it to 160mhz only instead of 20/40/80/160 my surface 4 then shows 2400/2400 so it allows dual band. Previously even with 20/40/80/160 selected its wont double up its has to be only 160mhz only. I have done a speed test and its gets nearly 900mbps on wifi so problem solved. just a shame not many wireless cards inc apple MacBook Pro are 160mhz enabled. useful to know for anyone else having similar problems on the FTTP 900 and didn’t notice this at all when on the 500/75 package.

I was pretty sure that your issue was that devices were conneting via 80MHz when you had it set up as 20/40/80/160.  Baffling how modern PC/mobile devices are still not 160MHz compliant.
