XR 450 Wifi Speed slower than Wired
I have a XR450, and theoritcally a 5ghz should be able to go past 300MBS right? I'm standing right next my router and I am pretty sure I turned off all of those settings which might limit speed. I'm ...

If there are wireless devices such as phones, headsets etc within close proximity of the router than can interfere with the signal so move any of these devices at least 3 feet away. Also use a WiFi analyzer to find the least congested channel and then change to that and redo the speed test.
My channel is by itself, it is not congested. It is the only one on its channel... and there are no other devices in a 3 feet proximity.
No it doesn't have a wireless analyzer. Could you provide a screenshot of your Advanced WiFi Settings please? Also double check you've done everything in this guide: http://support.netduma.com/en/support/solutions/articles/16000076586-dumaos-optimal-settings-guide-maximum-bandwidth-speeds

I can't add two pictures for some reason.
- That all looks fine, it's really the second half of the screenshot I'd need to see really. Which device are you testing the speed with? Do you have any other WiFi devices you can test with? Do they get the same results?

Wired connection from the router does that, but a singular device on Wifi 5Ghz does not. I'm getting around 200ish range on both up and down.
