R7800 fireware 1.0.2.20 get low speed at Network Neighborhood

I've used iOs "Netgear Genie" app to get the speed between my Win 10 laptop (with 802.11 ac) and R7800, it shows 867Mbps.
But when I download files from USB storage which is plugged into R7800 USB port, the real download speed is only about 400 Mbps (showed by my Win10).
Is it reasonable performance ?

 

Besides,  iPhone6 downloads files from R7800 USB storage with only about 30 Mbps, but "Netgear Genie" app shows it can reach 430 Mbps max. (both speeds were test at the same place)

    Hi KevinChen,

     

    Transfer rate can be affected and may be bottlenecked by the processing power of the router since it handles other features and functionalities as well. A lower than the maximum transfer rate should be normal.
