can someone pse tell me if a wi-fi speed of 72Mbps on a note 8 is good and if there's anyway to boost it without getting complicated. I'm 2 metres from my billion router and supposed to be on a 2meg line. I don't want to do amything i can't undo because i'm a noob at this. Tks
 
72 Mbps is super fast for internet in SA. What's the problem?

Well, your link to your router is 31 times the speed of your internet connection... ;)

Dunno, what do you mean?

What I mean is that the link between your phone and router is 72mbps, and the link out from your router to the internet is only 2mbps. There's nothing to gain, except if you regularly move large files between your phone and other devices on your own network...
 
Depends what the router is capable of. I am guessing the router only does 150Mbps so then 72Mbps sounds fine.

Are you copying large files over the network to the device?
 
Tks dr, i'm planning to stream from youtube through my tablet and mirror onto the tv. I bought a dongle thingy today which is supposed to pick up the picture from my note.
 
It's called a "samsung allshare cast dongle" to plug into the tv.
