Airtel XStream 3999 plan will come with a complimentary 1GBps Wifi Router

210mbps right next to the router....like 6 inches away

Something is wrong here, raise a support ticket with Airtel.

iPhone 12 has good WiFi (2x2 mu-mimo). It should be able to use up to ~600mbps on WiFi AC.

Yes have raised a ticket since the day ot was installed that is 9th March 2021. When they fired up the router the technician said the speed will take a few days to be normal. that day it was 120-140mbps. Have been on the phone with them since that day. Just now got a call that some power switch in the back end was not working and they are on the job.

Yes, looks like an issue on backend or fiber line. WiFo on Macbook Air and iPad 2019 is not as good, but iPhone 12 can even do 1 gbps if you upgrade the router.

So if its the router and I want to buy a new one what would the forum members recommend? So how will that new router connect to this Nokia?

Is this on Ookla or actually getting 800 Mbps ? Isnt it limited by your machine`s write speed

Nop download speeds, I have seen mid nineties to almost 100 megabytes.
Using nvme ssds so write speed is not a constraint for me.

@mikrotik were you able to get the 1 gbps H680GM-A GPON ??

@bhuvanmisra hows your experience with it ?.

Btw, I found the Tech specifications on this one (without the -A i.e. Antennas) H680GM Data sheet

Who is going to be the first one to introduce 2.5 Gbps plans?

 

[pillaicha]

2.5 Gbps is less of a jump than 10Gbps. So I assume once we jump to XG(E)PON, 1Gbps becomes ubiquitous. It will probably take a decade to start in tier 1 cities.

It is probably not necessary in the first place cause YouTube uploads generally start throttling at 500 Mbps. What I mean to say is, many websites still don't have a big ingest capacity or limit it by IP. Unless there is a small studio or office with multiple parallel upload or download. 2.5Gig is not needed and ISP will try to cover maximum users on single port. The place where it will be needed is Educational institutions.

You also need a good device to get that kind of Read/Write speeds
