Hi all,
I'm posting this question out of general curiosity and a little bit of frustration.
So I've been paying for 1gig internet for a little over two years now, and have never really gotten anywhere near those speeds wirelessly. Using my ATT modem, I average anywhere from 200mbps-400mbps depending on proximity, which I've always attributed to 'using the crappy modem as my wireless router' because using a wired connection to the modem I always do get ~930-940mbps.
So recently I decided to do something about it and buy an actual router.
After much research to find a good mid-range AX router (Asus RT-AX86U) and seeing it's wireless performance results in a bunch of different websites I decided to buy it hoping it'd get me to at least 800-900mbps while sitting in front of the router (router being behind my TV and me sitting on the couch 5-6ft in front of it)... but nope, I'm now testing at around 500-600mbps sitting 5ft away from the router. When I test the internet speeds via the Asus router itself I do get a full 940mbps which makes me wonder, is it even possible to get those speeds wirelessly? Do I need to return this, and shell out $600-700 to be able to get those speeds?
At this point I'm really boggled and thought I'd reach out to the community for advice/help.
Thanks
