On day two with plusnet. As expected, the speeds have fluctuated, however my wifi speed are ridiculous. I'm getting around the 50mbps wired but only 1-3mpbs via wifi. I have tried different channels with no luck. I'm sitting right next to the router also. Any suggestions?

Download a sniffer app, I use WiFi Analyser on an Android phone. This will enable you to see the strength of your WiFi transmissions compared with neighbours and select the best channel. It could be a faulty router. The other thing to try is to separate the 2,4 and 5 GHz channels. This should help with this: https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Making-5-GHz-have-separate-SSID-with-the-Hub-One/m-p/1349587....

Turned out to be a faulty USB WiFi dongle which we proved by plugging it into a known working system.
