I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my Google Wifi setup. While Google Home indicates I'm getting around 500mbs (since I'm paying for 550mbs from my internet provider), my actual device speeds (on various devices like TVs, Firesticks, and my mobile phone) are only around 20mbs. This issue persists across devices, and I'm usually close to the routers, so distance shouldn't be a factor. Any thoughts or suggestions on how to improve my speeds?

Sometimes simply changing the channels on your router can make a difference. Interference from nearby networks can slow down your connection, so it might be worthwhile to experiment with different channels.
First things first, check your wifi settings to ensure that the encryption method is set to AES instead of TKIP. That can sometimes limit performance. If that doesn’t help, it might be useful to share screenshots of your configurations for further troubleshooting.
There might be interference in your house that's affecting the wifi signal. Have you tried checking if any devices are causing a disruption? Also, do you notice if anything connected is actually achieving the full speeds? It could be worth adjusting the antennas on your router as well.
What are you using to measure your speeds? If you haven't already, try a reliable site like Fast.com for a quick test. That can help verify if it’s a consistent issue across the board.
