Depending upon connection rates see at the device and design and support of wifi performances, you'll not see anything much over 400-500Mbps on wifi speeds tests on AC mode. Contact the Mfr to see what rates and performances your devices are designed for.

Wired LAN cable speeds should see near 900Mpbs on the down.
