    Are you testing over the 2.4ghz or the 5ghz?

    2.4ghz is a much slower network than 5ghz. 

    And the MR systems do band steering so its not something you can just "choose" to be on the 5ghz. 

  • With the Netgear EAX15 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Extender ($129.99), all you have to do is plug it into a wall outlet and configure it with a mobile app to get wall-to-wall Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.
