Finally installed and active today, speeds not great but I’m told they improve over time or maybe it’s the fact I’m using WiFi currently.

Whoever told you your speeds will improve over time is talking rubbish, FTTP speeds should be full rate immediately.

However any speed tests over Wi-Fi are pointless, you need to test with an ethernet connection.

Yeah I thought so when they said it takes time but I have checked with a cable since and the speeds are fine around 940/940 both ways, is there anyway to get better speeds using Wi-Fi even if it means me buying a better router would that help?.

There is a technology called Wifi 6 which can be faster. Both the router/access point and what ever device being used such as laptop or mobile phone etc need to support this to benefit. I could have bought a wifi 6 card for my laptop. The practical benefit of doing this is probably not much.

A Windows laptop will show you the actual connection speed if you click the Network Connection icon. Practical data transfer rate is likely to be about 1/3rd of the speed shown.

Depends what the router and the computer specs are, if a phone or tablet less likely.

My office provides me a Lenovo laptop for home working with an Intel chip, and it has a WiFi 6 radio, and I have an ASUS router on my broadband which is WiFi 6, the theoretical rate is 1200 Mbps between the two. This can't be compared to Ethernet wired rates, so I would expect to see 700 or faster over WiFi.

(My broadband is only 200 Mbps as I don't have FTTP here).
