Correct, I just tried WiFi, 75mpbs but that's sat out in the garden some distance from the router.

Most of my use  is wired, all my computers and TV are wired, so WiFi speed doesn't worry me so long as I have a connection.

I might try the hub 2 one day but at least I have it as a backup.

My tablet and phone are on the older side so I doubt if they would support WiFi 6

I used a VR400 v3 in preferrence to a Hub One for improved wireless performance.

On paper the Hub Two Wifi should be better, but you can not split the WiFi band names which is helpful for some older 2.4GHz only device. I prefer to use 3rd party routers to give me configuration flexablity.

Also the VR400 has VPN server which can be handy connecting to your hoem network remotely.

The in the garden WiFi speed of 75 Mbps would probley be a 2.4GHz connection, that would like be the maximum speed for that band.
