I don't have a MK system so can't attest to its speeds/performance personally. I haven't seen a whole lot of testing on it but one tester (https://dongknows.com/netgear-nighthawk-mk63-review/) hit much faster speeds than what you're seeing.

3. put the netgear into access point mode. this leaves the att device controlling routing. wifi/ethernet all still work, you just loose some features. https://kb.netgear.com/26765/Which-features-are-disabled-on-my-NETGEAR-router-when-it-is-set-to-AP-Mode
