Fastest achievable WiFi speed on the Hub Two router

[#1]

Hi. I'm currently on the 300Mb package which finishes in Feb. It's fast enough for our needs but if I was to upgrade am I right in saying that the Hub Two tops out at about 433Mb?

@Megaafc1 that's about right. The Hub 2 is only wifi5 capable. I used to use a wifi5 router (not a Hub 2) and it limited my wifi speed on my laptop to about 450Mb.

As an example of what is possible, my laptop is wifi6 capable and changing to a wifi6 capable router I can now get around 750Mb. Do I notice any difference in reality, well not really!

If you are close enough to exceed 433Mb/s on half duplex Wi-Fi you are close enough to use a full duplex network cable !

Uh?

What "speed" are we talking about here? It's possible I am misunderstanding something...

I use a standard PN Hub 2 router on 5GHz Wi-Fi only, and a little dual band TP-Link Archer AC1300 Mini Wireless USB adaptor. From the router logs the Wi-Fi *connection* is shown at various speeds - but they are all over 433Mb(ps). Here I mean link connection speed, not download speed. As I am on 150Mbps FF I clearly can't stress the Wi-Fi data rate.

Here are a few samples from the Hub 2 router Event log:

This one takes the biscuit - but why is the host name not shown? In too much of a hurry? 🙂

Thanks for the reply. I mainly use my phone (OnePlus 13) which has WiFi 7, my Nvidia Shield and I use my laptop occasionally. My other half only uses her laptop. I don't do any gaming so I might just keep my current package or upgrade to 500Mb. I don't think there's any point in changing my router as I don't have anything that I use ethernet cables on.

Thank you for the reply. I might get one of those TP-Link Archer AC1300 Mini Wireless USB adaptors then. Thanks again. 👍

I'm talking throughput.

Decided to upgrade to the 500Mb package and I've managed to get very good speeds with the Hub Two. Got around 500Mb, 506Mb max this morning. 👍
