XR1000 Slow WIFI download speed

Question

Hello i have the XR1000 Wifi 6 gaming router and I have 400 mbps spectrum service which i almost get at ethernet cable direct connect speeds but the wifi I'm only getting around 100 mbps. Any ideas ?&nbsp;

5ghz speeds drop off quickly with distance/obstructions. 5ghz also doesn't penetrate materials as well as 2.4ghz so if there obstructions in the way, it can also slow down speeds.&nbsp;&nbsp;If your phone is getting full speed, I don't think its an issue of the router. You're also a bit behind on the intel driver.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd recommend taking a read through this article on wifi misconceptionshttps://www.duckware.com/tech/wifi-in-the-us.html

I am using my desktop pc that has an Intel dual band wireless AC adapter. I am on the 5HZ connection, and using the ookla site speedtest.net

how far from the router are you?&nbsp;Have you tried other devices?what actual intel card is it?&nbsp;What firmware is on the wireless card?&nbsp;&nbsp;

My PC is probably about 25-30 feet away. Signal strength in netsh interface shows 85%. It is the AC 8265 card, I looked at the specs and it seems like it can go to 400 mbps or better on wifi on 5Ghz. I don't see firmware but i see driver version&nbsp;20.70.19.1. My iphone if i go to the speedtest page in safari gets 400 mbps.&nbsp;
