Can get more than 300s Mbpa with the AC2200 in a 1000 Mbps

I used to pay for ATT fiber optica 300 Mbps speed and I was always getting even a little higher (320's Mbps) in all my devices with my Orbi AC2200. I changed lately to 1000 Mbps internet and the speed test in the Orbi app shows speeds of more than 900 Mbps and it is confirmed when connect devices directly to the modem. However, the devices conected to the Orbi router through the WiFi still only shows ~320-330 Mbps as it best, not matter if I am in front of the Orbi's base and nobody else is at home, only me actually using the internet.

 

I have reset the ATT modem, the Orbi system, etc. However, since the Orbi's base reports velocities of 900's Mbps I think the ATT modem is not an issue.

 

It is supposed that the Orbi Ac2200 handles speed unitl 833 Mbps when connected to 5Ghz so why I can;t get more than 300's Mbps?. I am thinking to get the Orbi 6, but first I want to be sure the problems is the AC2200.

 

Thanks in advance,

A lot depends on settings, interference, device's capabilities, etc. If a laptop, (I have one), has a NIC that only supports 2.4Ghz 150Mbps, that is all you are going to get out of that device. Most of my wireless devices connect between 150 and 475Mbps. Most WIFI6 devices connect between 400 and 850Mbps. The further away from the router or satellite I am, the slower the speed.

Usually a good rule of thumb is take your fastest wired connection speed and cut it in half, unless you have 500Mbps and less Internet WIFI6 cababilities. Then you may get the max speed.

If you have not done so try these settings suggestions:
Disable Circle, Armor, Daisy Chaining, Fast Roaming, IPv6 and uncheck 20/40Mhz Coexistence.
Enable WMM, Implicit BeamForming, Mu-MIMO
Set Short preamble mode.

Save settings, reboot Orbi.
