Using Ethernet gives you around 40MB/s, while your phone only gets about 30MB/s when you're far from the router. Your computer's speed is limited by your ISP, but could a higher-speed plan improve your phone's performance even if it hasn't reached its maximum yet?
It relies on whether your device connects to a 3G or 5G network via the router. You're restricted by how many simultaneous 5G Wi-Fi links are available, though actual performance is often better than wired connections.
Your device is linking to the router or modem via wireless means, isn't it? Any wireless link suffers from signal loss due to distance from the broadcast source, obstacles between devices, and interference from other signals like Bluetooth gadgets and fluorescent lights. An ISP can only promise consistent speeds on a wired setup—wireless connections aren’t reliable for guaranteed performance. Conduct speed tests (such as speedtest.net or fast.com) in the same area where the modem/router is placed, ideally near it. Make sure to check both the standard 2.4GHz network and the 5GHz network, as the latter offers higher speeds but a limited range and less penetration through materials.
In theory, yes. Wireless connections always experience some packet loss at any internet speed, requiring retransmissions that can slow you down. This approach works best when network bottlenecks aren’t close to your current performance or when devices are near the access point and support 802.11AC standards. Older 802.11N only handled 2.4 GHz, offering less bandwidth, while 802.11AC supports 5 GHz networks, providing better capacity. These standards are widely encountered in practice.
