Slow Home Wireless Broadband

[Caleb77]

Hi,
Been using Home Wireless Broadband service with Netcomm NL1901ACV modem for a little while now. Would expect to be getting around the 12 Mbs connection as advertised as I am in an Optus 4g Plus network area and the modem is placed high in a two storey house on top of a hill with the modem showing full service; however, the speeds I am receiving range from 1Mbs to 5Mbs with an average of around 2.

I am wondering if this might be a setup issue, service issue or similar and was wondering if someone could please help me troubleshoot?

Thanks
Steve
