Sorry for the lack of understanding in this I dont know a lot about this

What router?

It says ubee on the top of it (Let me know if you need more info on this)

What client device?

What do you mean by this?(If you mean what I use it would be pc and phones on the network.)

How many competing WIFI signals are visible?

We are 2 wifi signals One is normal and other is 5G - If you mean like bars we get that would be full (And if you mean people around me I would say I only pick up one other wifi signal besides my own)

Distance between WIFI source and client?

My house is small so its not really to far My room is right next to the living room(Thats where my wifi box is)

Same floor or different floor?

Same Floor (One floor only)

What is your current link rate?

585.0 Mbps

If you have a 585 Mbit link rate then that is about as good as you will get on WIFI.

That is why I asked about "client" devices. Just because your laptop gets a 585Mbit link speed, you mom might have an older laptop that only gets 144Mbit link speed.
The other thing that can make networking "feel" slow is the DNS. If you are using the default DNS provider the ISP provides (probably) changing to Google DNS might improve the perceived speed.

Which device(s) is she complaining about? What is the ISP speed that you subscribe to?

She says Her phone gets slow sometimes and that When she watches movies it says no connection sometimes , I think we have the highest we can get from Spectrum The Highest speed they had

But you don't know what speed you are paying for. That is just as important as the speed from the device to the router.
