How much internet speed on Wi-Fi should I typically get on my smartphone? (lemmy.world)

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, which according to the internet should be able to support speeds up to 1.2Ghz. I have a contract in which my provider should give me access to 500mbs on wi-fi but this is the most I ever got with my phone, I normally get 280mbs or lower. Is this considered normal, despite being a wireless speed test?

Thanks

This could also be limited by your router, and/or what band you're on. 2.4GHz WiFi is indeed limited to around 300-400 Mbps whereas 5GHz can reach speeds in excess of gigabit. It can also change depending on how far from the router you are and what sort of obstructions are between you and the router.

Yeah, the 500mbps feel like what the isp is delivering on the WAN.
