internet speed wire router

The R8000 (X6) is technically a 802.11ac Tri-Band Gigabit device,  AC3200 (600 + 1300 + 1300 Mbps), Tx/Rx or MIMO 3x3 (2.4 GHz) + 3x3 (5 GHz) + 3x3 (5 GHz).

 

Said that, technically, the 2.4 GHz could do up to ~450 Mb/s, both the 5 GHz could do up to ~850...900 Mb/s each - permitting the wireless client can deal with it.

 

Trouble is, Apple ws the last computer maker has ceased from including 3x3 Wi-Fi clients, most notebooks come with 2x2 Wi-Fi AC clients, typically 80 MHz bandwidth today, low cost computers and mobiles even less. This makes the 2.4 GHz nominal 300 Mb/s (this is indeed 802.11n - but standard on ac devices) could do up to ~200 Mb/s, both the 5 GHz are nominal 866 Mb/s (at 80 MHz) could do up to ~550...600 Mb/s each.

 

Wild guess: Your computer might use a basic 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi client only.

 

You still consider to buy a new router? 

 

Let's have an eye.

 

MK63 AX1800, 802.11ax, dual-band, 2.4 GHz (600 Mb/s, 2x2), 2x2 5 GHz (1200 Mbps, 2x2). To reach these numbers you need again a very decent Wi-Fi client, if you are keen on the performance (~400 Mb/s on 2.4 GHz, ~800 Mb/s on 5 GHz, a similar spec'ed 802.11a (aka. WiFi 6) one. 

 

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the NightHawk MESH products. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Hi

my internet speed wired is 240 Mbps but wireless, sitting in front of the router it is only 80-100 Mbps. 

It drops further moving away from the router. 

The R8000 is only 4 years old.

Do you recommend replacing the router or obtaining a mesh system for a three story house?

the MK 63 AX1800 is on sale at Costco,

do you recommend it?

thank you
