This is what I was talking about last Monday. It's a big deal.

Only Starlink is not hit by the ban. Starlink would be a Elon Musk company. Naturally.

picoZ80 – A Z80 microprocessor drop-in replacement based on Raspberry Pi RP2350B and ESP32

Please boost to try and reach some one far more knowledgeable than me.

Network Speed Issues.

Today I finally had my fibre to the home activated.

But I'm struggling with speeds to some wifi devices.

5ghz band is reporting a connection speed of over 800mb to my mediaserver and main pc... and 650Mb to my phone.

Networks have always been a blind spot for me.

Router is a Fritzbox 7530AX, with an older Fritxbox 7530 being used in mesh.

There are also some powerline adapters in the house to extend wifi out to the converted garage where my mum's bedroom is, and the wifi dongle for the solar/battery system as the signal was too weak to reach from either of the routers.

Current speeds are

Main PC 100Mb down, 65Mb up
Server 120M down 65Mb up
Phone 510Mb down 68Mb up

Fibre to the home is 550Mbps down and 75Mb up.

At first i thought it's signal strength, but that's good. Then perhaps distance from the router... Except other devices in the same room are getting 650Mb connections just fine.

Then I thought it was the wifi dongle, a D-Link DWA X1850 AX1800 Wifi 6 USB adapter.

Both computers use the same dongles, router is wifi 6 as are the dongles. The shield TV box in the room is only wifi 5, but gets 650Mb and the Pixel 6 Pro phone gets 650Mb.

I'm stumped. I've even disconnected the mesh router and forced all connections through the main router which is in the room below... about 3m away with only a wooden floor between.

Any help would be appreciated.

For reference, my previous ADSL connection was only giving me 40Mb... So I had no idea that I was getting such dreadful speeds across my home network.

All PC's running windows 10 Pro

I find this #zdnet article about this portable router to be pretty weird in 2026.
https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/networking/tp-link-roam-7-review/ why would anyone need a portable #router when everyone (mostly) already has a portable and personal WiFi hotspot in their pockets that doesn't require you to download any 3rd party software or scan any QR codes to use?

In the Old Days (2003-2004), a guy in the US called Julian Bleecker developed a portable WiFi node called wifi.bedouin which he toted around in a backpack. I was enthralled! Imagine being able to do that! I felt I'd like to do the same but I had very little money, lived in the UK and wasn't at Uni. Even so, I had a go, and my version - "Billy Nomad/YARWAP" was born. YARWAP=Yet Another Roaming Wireless Access Point ☺️

I wrote it up as I went along and today rediscovered the PDF, which is available for you reading pleasure at https://petergarner.net/projects/YARWAP-The_Billy_Nomad_Project.pdf and Julian's is at https://nearfuturelaboratory.com/projects/en/wifi-bedouin/

I did actually take it outside a couple of times for testing, but in those days so few people had mobile devices that did WiFi, that it didn't really achieve its objective. Enjoy!

Team Shitstain are up to something at the FCC, and it's either just another extortion-based money grab or they're really going after home networking.
