What Is your ISP suppeed UP and down that you pay for?

 

What devices are you using to speed test?

Wireless speeds on most wifi devices max out at around 400-500Mb on 5Ghz AC.

      That's so weird. It's just your download speed that's slow over WiFi? Everything else is hitting expected speeds i.e. LAN, upload over WiFi?

       

      Is there anything using the connection at the same time that could be slowing this down?

       

      In >QoS >Anti-Bufferbloat, have you set your max speeds to 300mbps in the Antu-Bufferbloat settings?
