300 to 400 Mbps sounds right for Wi-Fi. It will drop as you move away from the router. The speed will halve on each hop of a mesh network, as each packet has to be re-transmitted along the route.
Remember, Gigabit service is meant to offer reasonable speeds to multiple devices / users on your network, rather than super high speeds to one user. Many content suppliers cannot provide their data to consumers at GB speeds.

Restarting the boosters has returned my wifi boosters to having blue lights. Thanks for that suggestion, a small victory like this is huge right now. 🙂

So i was able to reconnect my doorbell in one step, but i keep failing with my roof mounted camera. I can push the button on the back of the camera until the light flashes white and gives off the temporary alarmxxox wifi signal. I can connect my phone to that just fine. I just keep failing in the last step where i try to connect my camera to my home wifi network. I may have to get a technician out to tackle that unless there are some other methods to try.
