What connect rate speed is the mac book air connecting at with the RBR. I'd turn OFF the RBS temporarily to ensure the mac book connects to the RBR. Use the Opt key + Right Click on the wifi icon on the top tool bar on OSX to see additional information and the connection rate.

You should see near 1300Mbps or over. What the highest connection rate supported by Apple for this Mac Book? My 2018 supports 1300Mpbs. I usually see around 700Mpbs speed results.

Interesting...my download speeds are great (700+mbps) but upload cannot seem to break 200mbps.
I checked my phones as well, 600+mbps download, ~150mbps upload.
I'm not sure what else to try...maybe it is a bug in the firmware?
