GOOGLE WIFI not getting good speeds
Hi, I have followed some threads and got telus 300 fibre optic internet and just use the internet service and tried to bridge and use my 3 google wifi mesh network. I am finding that I can't get ...
When I do bridge and am using the google wifi while bridged I get a constant 100-150 at times but when installed just today I had 300-330 even down and up just using the modem itself. Just don't know why i see fluctuations this high and want to make sure I'm not doing something or forgetting to do something.

High speeds are also gained by using multiple bands to achieve throughput, and a mesh network may run on a single band to an end device for simplicity. If you need the speed, the best option is to hardwire. Though wireless seems simple, it has many pitfalls.
