Okay , i live in ireland where we have insane internet speeds , my current plan is 240mbps down and 24 up , thing is , over ethernet i get full speed but over wifi i only get a MAX of 50 , never crossed it , my laptop has AC 3160 which is pretty good , i have a note 4 which also has a good wifi chip , i dont the problem is my devices. is it my router and if so what do i buy to get the max i could , my router is also a modem , so its connected to the wall and it gives out wifi , will i buy a new modem all together or just buy a router and connect it with ethernet.

if someone can link me to anything i need to buy that would be fantastic

That's completely incorrect. 802.11g was limited to a theoretical 54Mb/s. 802.11n can go to theoretical 450Mb/s on 2.4GHz with the right router and WiFi card, and I've seen at least 80Mb/s I think.

802.11ac can theoretically go into the gigabits, but cards that can handle this speed are rare. It's no faster than 11n when on 2.4GHz.

Says here that max potential speed is 100mbps, but realistically is only 50mbps.

That's specifically talking about backwards compatibility with other devices in use.

I just did a speed test, with 5GHz disabled on the router. Both devices 2x2 MIMO, not 3x3:

That's limited by my internet connection - internal file transfers get ~16-18MB/s.

tried 5ghz , only 5 mbps better , im stuck at 55 now , its getting anooying , should i just get a new router ??

You haven't told us what model router you have.
