Not seeing quicker speeds on 5ghz network with new RT-AC87U router

Ok just connected it all up via LAN and unfortunately I am getting the exact same speeds as I was getting through wireless.

BT should have told you how fast it was expected to be when you signed up. Those figures suggest that it's a 40/10 connection rather than 80/20, but it could just be the distance from the cabinet.

Whatever you do with the wireless it's never going to be faster than what you get with a cable. Your flashy new router should help with LAN transfers between your devices, but for Internet access it's massive overkill and as you've seen will make little difference.

that's fair enough then i guess. As long as there is nothing wrong then I'm perfectly happy as I bought it for the many features and unit as a whole package not just one single aspect.
