Gig1 wifi speeds not as expected

I’m struggling with speeds on my Amazon Firestick. A speed test via VM connect on my mobile behind the TV where the Firestick is gives a result of around 600. But a speed test run via the Firestick barely gets 30. I can also plug an Ethernet direct into the Firestick and it’s even slower with that.

Is there anything I can do to achieve the speeds I’m getting on my phone via the Virgin app?

thanks for any help

      Thank you for the info. I'm still puzzled with the slow speeds though. I'm flummoxed as to why?

        Is the firestick's ethernet port only 10/100 - and not 1GB ?

    Get a better wifi router with 1Gb ports and use hub in modem mode
