    Hey just wondering does anyone know how to fix this. Have 200mg fibre but on my phone I am not even getting 6megs and even less are times ?

    Seen a few threads on this but is there any fix or is it cause the wifi chip on the phone doesn't have the ac band ?

    Could be a few things
    Is it a 5ghz network?

    - Stock wifi routers don't tend to have the top specs
    - If there is a lot of wifi networks that could be causing problems especially if its older wifi 2ghz issues signal strength etc
    - might be DNS also as I noticed an immediate improvement when I changed wifi to Google DNS

    It's 5ghz as it's virgin fibre, other wireless devices are fine. Housemate has a one plus 6 and it's getting the full wack of 200mg.

    Wifi - Advanced - Band - 5Ghz only.

    VM by default on some CPE call both bands the same thing so you can't force one or the other. If prevent the phone using 2.4 you'll get the 5Ghz.
