Increasing Gigabit speeds
My current setup is the Arcadyan router with 2 boosts setup in the house. One of the boosts is used to wire my gaming Systems which is about 10 feet away from the router. I also have Optik tv. Sinc...
The Internet Plan speed is at the modem, it's not the speed per device on your network. If you have 3 devices each at 300 Mbps then you have 900 Mbps going through the modem.
That, of course, is correct if all three are getting that at once. That would be great speed. And, what would you think and say if you have only 1 device and it is only 300 Mbps 1 foot away from the router?
If it is a mobile device, which model?
If it is a laptop, which WiFi adapter?
Desktop with AC1200 PCI EXpress Adapter which is rated at 867 Mbps on 5g
Norm2 I'm confused about some of the information you are providing.
"With only one device using Wifi a foot away from the router"
"Just trying to use video calls on Messenger 25 feet away from hub"
"First booster is connected via copper and 2nd is wireless."
Is your desktop a foot away or 25 feet away?
Are you connected to the hub or the booster?
"Also trying to get signal strong enough to service the three bedrooms on same floor"
"I have Optik tv"
So you actually have more than one device on WiFi. It does have impact on speed tests if those other devices are accessing the Internet at the same time.
"I see are two 2 streams using 80 MHz channel"
"Says 390 Mbps"
That link speed corresponds to 1 stream on 5Ghz band or possibly 2 streams on 2.4Ghz band. Are you connected to the 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz band? With smart steering on you might be switching between the two bands and not know it.
