Still ok for working remotely and watching tv, but strange that upgrading the service to increase the speed actually decreased my speed. Those tests were using the Ookla speed test, using my Iphone 13.
There is another post or two in another thread, I believe by jrref, that mentions a problem if the new WiFi 6 pods are too close together. You might want to find that post and see if something in there could help.
