Pyramid supports speeds of up to 900mbps - the only way to reach those heights is by connecting the provided ethernet cable between your broadband router (LAN) and Pi.

If you for some reason can't plug Pyramid Pi into your router, or maybe you want to place Pyramid in another room, then Pi won't reach it's full speed potential when it's paired wirelessly with your router.

If you want to place it in another room and still max out its top speed, then we'd suggest a Powerline adapter - a Powerline adapter is a device used to extend a wired internet connection through the electrical wiring in a home so you get most of the speed as being in the same room.

Here's an example of a popular set of Powerline adapters from Amazon.co.uk

Another reason why you might not want to use the single port on the Pyramid Pi to connect to your router - is because you're using that precious port to deliver internet via cable to a device that lacks WiFi (such as a Magbox / set-top box)

A pro tip for that is a USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter (like this one) which can be picked up normally for around £8/£9 and adds an extra ethernet port so you can have both WAN and LAN ports on the Pyramid Pi. Use the spare blue USB port on the Pi for best speeds.

Pyramid can sometimes go a bit faster than your home router but not faster than your line. The 900mbps advertised max speed for Pyramid is the max speed on ideal conditions on a high-speed line. Your speeds will depend on the quality of your home internet - if your line has a max speed of 100mbps, then you can hope to get most of that speed with Pyramid Pi but you can't exceed the speed of your line.
