I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, which according to the internet should be able to support speeds up to 1.2Ghz. I have a contract in which my provider should give me access to 500mbs on wi-fi but this is the most I ever got with my phone, I normally get 280mbs or lower. Is this considered normal, despite being a wireless speed test?

Thanks

    Most providers give you a “UP TO X Mb/s” number which is not what u get most of the time. Usually there is a lower minimum limit in the contract or law that they have to deliver, at least in germany thats how it works.

    The key words in your plan are certainly “up to”.

    Actual speed is going to be highly variable depending on your provider, bandwidth available at your specific location, even weather.

    Yes, it’s totally normal, unless your router is WiFi 6, because it can reach quite the maximum speed of your connection, and so the speedtest you’ve posted con be a little lower then what you can expect from a WiFi 6 router (the speed depends a lot on the distance from your router and the obstacles between your smartphone and the router).

      Yes, it’s actually a wi-fi 6 router and I was close to it, using the 5hz band. My smartTV was also connected to the router but that was pretty much it
