Mesh router for 1gb fibernet connection

Hi

 

I have 1Gb fibernet connection with an effective speed of 800Mb down and 900Mb up (tested). I get around 400Mb  with my current Nighthawk or Nokia SurerWifi tested on Apple Macbook Pro M2 Pro or Iphone 14. 

 

Which mesh router would you recommend when I want to take full advantage of a 1 Gbps fiber optic connection?

 

regards

Anders

    What model MESH router do you have? MK?

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    Has a power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and router been performed since last update?
    Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
    Turn off and unplug modem.
    Turn off router and computers.
    Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
    Turn on computers and rest of network.

    What are you doing that needs a connection at 1 Gbps?
