Slow WiFi

Hello new to this just had fibre extra fitted a few weeks ago thought my speed was low until I directly linked laptop to router with cable getting speeds of 60 to 70.
But when I do speed test with phone or tablet right next to router I get speeds of 30 with all other devices turned off.
Do I need to change setting in router or could it be faulty.
Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the forum.
Try separating the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands then try each in turn. See. https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/2-4ghz-and-or-5ghz-best-practice/td-p/1351950

If you only experience these problems on a wireless, but it's fine on a wired connection, this could point to wireless interference or similar.
Along with the advice @Baldrick1 has given, could you try changing the wireless channel you're connecting on to see if this gives you a more consistent wireless connection.
More information on changing wireless settings can be found here: https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/router-user-guides/
I hope this helps.
