Brsk FTTP Speed connection

Hi guys, I recently went live with BRSK, better1000 subscription (900mbps), they gave me a technicolor dga0122 router, testing on wifi it gives me around 600mbps with ping at 12, is this a good result? Can it be improved on wifi? It seems obvious to me that I could get 900mbps with an ethernet cable.
Thanks
 
Ok, so there's a few things to unpack here

It seems that router is WiFi 4 2x2 on 2.4GHz
And WiFi 5 3x3 on 5GHz.

Is the device you're testing with Connected using 2.4GHz or 5GHz?
How many streams can the testing device deal with at 5GHz? What are the specs of the WiFi on the device you are testing with?

Each WiFi 5 stream is in theory a max of 433Mbits throughout but in reality it would be less. So if your client device can only do two streams at 5GHz then 600Mbits might be realistic.
 
You'll struggle to get more than 600Mbps on WiFi generally. If you actually need full 900Mbps on a more consistent basis then consider hard wiring your device as wifi is always a compromise.

WiFi 6 can easily handle 900mbps, i get 921 on my iPhone with a wifi 6 router...
 
What happened to the icotera router they were handing out? My mates got one and it seems to work perfectly fine.
She’s on a 100/100 package but gets 150/300 most of the time all over the house.
 
my Ubiquiti setup gives me 900 on 6 and over a gig on 6E. 600 on the Technicolor is likely the best you will get.
