Ok, so I have an iPhone 5s. For some reason I'm not able to get close to the download speed I'm paying for which is 50 . On my iphone and iPad highest I reach is 25. My time capsule is set up on my iMac on my first floor. I use an express to extend the network so it works on my second floor. I consistently get 25 mpbs, I just don't know why I can't get closer to what I'm paying for. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong,. Please help!

The 5S, see attached, is capable of farily good speeds.

As you know with wifi, there are a lot of factors that contribute to what the speed test will show and none of that is configurable on the iphone.

Factors include:
- distance
- wall materials
- interference from other 2.4 ghz and neighboors wifi
- router configuration

If you post your router brand, you maybe able to get some help.
