XR450 Nighthawk - Slower speeds than my default Spectrum Modem?

The only device this is happening on is that one so that is where I would look first. You can get higher than you pay for sometimes, depends on the demand in the area usually. Yes possible their modem locked speeds down as well.

Good, yes check out any kind of warranty as well. I believe ASUS has some after warranty services as well if this is a high end motherboard. Something i'd want to keep maintained.
Yes. It's marked now.
Thank you.
ps. if you need more wifi coverage at some point from the XR, the EX7700 does a great job and works well with the XR450. I have two and have great coverage and performance.
