Your speed will not be much faster than the max speed of your wifi service contract (or agreement, if you pay month by month). Your speed will also be significantly slower if you are piggybacking multiple devices on a single router. Your speed will also be significantly lower if you are using a device that is physically further away from your router. It will also be slower than if you were hdmi-connected directly to your modem rather than using a wifi network in the house.

This is whether you have 5G service or not. Having 5G service is useless if your devices can't go that fast to begin with.
