It is certainly possible for Wi-Fi to be slower than cellular, but, this is usually not the case.  Your Wi-Fi router/access point is more than seven years old, I could foresee cellular being faster, assuming you have access to LTE or 5G ultra wideband.
A poorly optimized Wi-Fi network can also be slow, especially if you live in a congested area, like an apartment complex.
But, if Wi-Fi is set up correctly and is reasonably modern, it will usually be pretty fast. And, like Richard said, You are not going to run into nearly as many data limits with Wi-Fi as you would with typical cellular.

Hi Everyone,

Can someone please tell me when downloading an update using cellular will the download take a long time, or will it take the same amount of time when downloading with Wi-Fi? I can’t keep my Wi-Fi connections on my XR iPhone 16.6.1 for some strange reason.  I’ve just talked to Apple support, and we thought we had it rectified, but as soon as we hung up the phone, I lost my Wi-Fi connections again.  The Apple rep and I turned on Airplane mode, and restarted the phone, turned Airplane mode back off, turned on Wi-Fi again, and all was well, until we hung up the phone.  The Apple rep suggested I download the 16.7 update to see if that would help. 

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Janet
