Doesn't most of the bog standard routers given out by ISP's are not great.
"Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail."
Also how many devices the router supports and how many (wifi devices) you are trying to use on it might differ greatly.
Most routers supplied by the isps can cope with 4 or 5 devices, and your family might be trying to use way more... phones, tablets, laptops, TV's, consoles, NAS/Media drives etc
But i appreciate what they are trying to say, and it is better to know than not know.
don't forget distance from router can also have an impact on speeds too, as can the device it's connecting to. There are a huge number of variables with wifi.
I just love that they basically say if youre connection is rubbish you can always plug in a cable...kind of defeats the point of wireless but as we all know a wired network is really the only way to guarantee the connection speed.
'Completely Rubbish And Pathetic' ().
My WiFi is bad, because my Broadband is bad, because I live in the country and BT are the only ones who supply here.
Plugging it directly into the router will improve my speed by a *STAGGERING*..... 0.0004Mbps. Literally, the increase is so minute that it doesn't show up on test results.

He lives a couple miles South of the M4 right by Reading... and yet his friends hate coming over because they get ZERO signal on their fancy 4G phones!!
I average 0.5Mbps line speed, but should expect up to 2. I can get up to 4Mb download and 0.16 upload I think, but only on a good day.
One of many drawbacks in not having to live around town people....

Utter tosh, it's not slowing down your broadband, you just don't have a decent connection to your broadband....
