Nighthawk mesh slow speed

Hello,

 

I have a similar problem as others have mentioned.  I'm using an MK63S Mesh System with two satelites.  My Nighthawk app and my ISP's tests show 480 MB/s (I'm only paying them for 400) at the router, but a Speedtest on my PC shows <180.  I'm upstairs from the router, running an 3' ethernet cable from the Satelite to my PC.

 

I've gone as far as upgrading the ethernet cable and installing a new Gigabit Network Adapter card, as well as trying a 1300 MB/s Wireless USB WiFi Adapter.  Neither solution has improved the test speeds beyond 180 MB/s.  I'm tired of throwing money at this problem.  Please help.

 

Thanks

Same.  I should have returned this thing months ago when I first started having problems with it, which was the very first day I bought it.  It has been a monumental piece of junk.

Current problem is what has been reported on this thread.   I previously had 200mb speeds from my ISP.  The MK63 was mostly stable after updating and downgrading the firmware a million times and after months of troubleshooting and being stuck at 80mb, it finally started providing up to 200mb.   

Yesterday I upgraded to a 400mb plan.  I ran a speedtest from my laptop and was still getting around 180mb.  I then logged into the MK63's router through its web interface and tried a speedtest there and it hit 400mb.  Tried again on my laptop which is connected via 5G and is wifi 6 enabled and again got just under 200.  I then tried on my desktop which is physically connected by wire to one of the satellites and it's getting 400mb.    I then tried a few other devices that are connected via wireless and none of them are getting over 200mb.  But the router itself and the PC that's hardwired to a satellite are fine.

Basically, none of my wireless devices are getting more than 200mb from this piece of junk system.  Is wifi somehow capped to 200mb on this product?  Because that's what it seems like.

What speeds do you see when connected at the MR?
