Hey Mike94025: thanks for your response and I'm aware the wired vs wireless speed won't be the same.   I'm using multiple speed test sites and results are now an avg of 220Mbps (wireless).    Wired speed is around 750Mbps (Cox cable).   I've attached my link speed from the wireless device properties so the results should be pretty close but it isn't.

That link speed appears to be the theoretical maximum for the network connection and not an actual measure of your connectivity bandwidth.  The 468Mbps comes from here, apparently a property of the 80Mhz channel width: http://www.revolutionwifi.net/revolutionwifi/2013/04/first-look-80211ac-gigabit-wi-fi-speed.html . Note how in this article the author says he measured 190Mbps in his testing on that 468Mbps theoretical maximum link. 

What does the link speed show when you were hardwired to your cable modem?  I suspect it says 1GB (assuming you have it connected to a 1Gb and not 100Mb network port) regardless of your actual internet Comcast connection bandwidth limit.

This article describes some of the differences between wireless link speed and actual, real world, limits: https://superuser.com/questions/1222561/what-does-the-link-speed-of-a-wifi-connection-depend-upon
