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

Yes, it’s totally normal, unless your router is WiFi 6, because it can reach quite the maximum speed of your connection, and so the speedtest you’ve posted con be a little lower then what you can expect from a WiFi 6 router (the speed depends a lot on the distance from your router and the obstacles between your smartphone and the router).

Yes, it’s actually a wi-fi 6 router and I was close to it, using the 5hz band. My smartTV was also connected to the router but that was pretty much it

Internet is a finicky thing. What you should be getting depends a lot on what you pay for, what device you have, and the equipment you’re using, not to mention the infrastructure you don’t control. Without more detailed information, it’s hard to say. But, that said, your download and upload speeds are more than enough to do practically anything you should want without much of an issue.
