Many thanks for this - appreciated. So, from this, there is no definitive way to check the WiFi speed I am getting on my mobile phone at home? Also, do I install iperf as a server on my PC and then check on my mobile?

I have Netgear 3 node Orbi connected directly to ONT at 500 / 70 package. I get almost full 500 / 70 speeds on Ethernet connection to my PC. However, testing with Ookla, my Pixel 6 (WiFi 6E compatible) gives me 160 / 70 on my ISP site as well as some other sites Ookla chooses automatically. If...

This was on 5Ghz in my case.

I am on 5Ghz band. As you can see I am hitting 450+ on some test sites.

How bizarre!! I am using Speed test by Ookla. I was trying out various Test servers in Ookla. Tried a few times with Giganet Portsmouth (who I am with) and I get 160/70. However, Swish, idnet, 4 different Vodaphone servers and Trooli. ALL gave me speed in region of 450+ / 70. These servers were...

Apologies for not making this clearer. I have 3 routers - NOT used at the same time and so not connected to each other. I tried all three, one at a time connecting to the ONT, and am getting slow WiFi speeds on all of them.

Sure can. What info is required?

Thank you. I do understand WiFi. I asked because I misunderstood your response. BTW my mail router is a Netgear Orbi Mesh - so, I do not necessarily need to replace the 86U which is working fine.

Please explain how to lock @20Mhz / 80Mhz

I have a RT-AC86U router. I am using a FTTP 500 / 70 service. This gives me full speeds over Ethernet connection. However, over WiFi, it only gives 160 / 70 connection (tried on Samsung phone, Pixel 6, iPad and Apple 12 phone as well). I have tried ISP router (Technicolor), Netgear RBR353 Orbi...

Thanks. In orger for me to access the bridged router, what IP address will the bridged isp router have?

Soon to change my ISP to one who provides a router. Only reason to use this is the VoIP phone facility on it. I can put that router in Bridge mode (what I prefer) so I can use my Mesh router system. New ISP router has 192.168.1.1 setup. If I use the Bridge mode, will this change? I want my...

Straight to the router

Thanks Colin. Will run along the internal Garage wall, through a internal wall (duct already there) and into the study. Not near power cables.

Are you allowed to provide any names here please?
