Whilst i understand this, i dont understand why antenna differences would be so extreme? When i was at university, this wasnt an issue. All my devices worked fine on university provided wifi in my accommodation. Phone got about 70 Mbps, as did the laptop. My laptop struggling to hit 3Mbps on this network and my phone being anything from 10-20 Mbps doesnt seem like normal behaviour?

Hi, so background - I live in the countryside and the internet is delivered via 4G (traditionaly broadband only delivers speed of 2Mbps). I have tested speeds on both Speedtest.net and testmy.net. I have a Huawei b593s-22 as the router, the mobile network is virgin. The download speed is stable, 0 jitter, 45 ping and 53 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. Over wifi however, there is massive inconsistency between devices (even in the same room as the router). For example, on my Galaxy Note 9 mobile phone it recives a download speed of 15.4 Mbps and an Upload speed of 11.0 Mbps, with a ping of 58ms, jitter of 36ms and loss 0 %. On my Windows laptop (Acer v7-581 i5) it receives a download speed of 3Mbps and 15 Mbps upload. This happens with multiple devices basically ~ Through ethernet, the connection is solid and consistent across devices (such as firestick using testmy.net on browser) but through wifi it's slow and unresponsive. Does anyone have any idea why it's doing this? Surely there shouldnt be such a discrepency! It's at the point where sometimes the wireless devices hang and dont load pages for a minute or 2.

Hello, I have a weird issue. I live in the countryside, and as a result decided to get a 4G Mobile Internet Wi-Fi (WIFI) as the speeds and reliability for this is higher (2 Mbps versus 20 on Mifi). I decided however that i was a little disappointed with just 20 Mbps, so i decided to purchase an external omni-directional antenna that can sit outside of my house. As a result, i've got a much higher download speed (47-50) and a better signal (1 bar versus 2). However, the speed between devices is very inconsistent. On any windows Device i've tested, im getting the full 50 mbps which is fine, and this is consistent both wired and wirelessly. On Android or iOS devices, i am only getting anything from 8 Mbps to 20 Mbps, with very high jitter and slightly higher ping (42 vs 52). I have no idea what's causing this, as prior to installing the omni antenna the speed was consistent across all devices. To make sure it wasnt an issue with the signal just dropping, i tried downloading a game on steam to make sure the speed was consistent, and it was on Windows. My Router is a Huawei B315-22s.
