Why am I not getting the full package speed over Wi‑Fi?

The package speed is delivered to the router; a wireless device’s result also depends on its radio, band, signal, interference, mesh hop and current traffic. Test the gateway or a capable wired device first.

What to check

Gateway vs client test; link rate; RSSI/SNR; band; channel busy; backhaul.

When to get help from a person

Escalate if isolated wired/gateway results are persistently below service profile.

Show the technical detail
On a managed Wi-Fi plan

Use managed gateway testing plus per-client telemetry; recommend optimisation or wired backhaul where indicated.

On another provider's router

Use the provider’s official test and hub guidance.

What to be careful of

Do not guarantee headline speed to every Wi‑Fi client.
