I'd highly recommend reading through both to get realistic expectations of wireless and why. Both are well written and very informative both on your device and wireless expectations.

Is that correct from what you've said?
And what device are you testing it on?
Yes that is correct and that speed is over WiFi.. I’ve used both an iPhone and laptop to test speeds. I’ve also confirmed the network card in the laptop is capable of these speeds so that is not the culprit either.

plemans thanks for the informative reply. I will give these a read. I was truly looking for a more informed and in-depth explanation like you have provided rather than boasting as michaelkenward suggested. Have a good day.
