RBK852 Maxes out as fast as the old Orbi

I have these connected via an ethernet cable, and in AP mode.  My Note 10 shows on SpeedTest.net maxed out at 450mbps right in front of the node.  Most of the time its about 350.  My AX enabled laptop with the Killer 1650 adapter is about the same.  Im using Fios with the gigabit internet.  Wired PCs get about 900mbps.  Shouldnt wireless connections get about 600?

    Probably not. Some wireless devices have there own max limitations. Usually max out at around 400-500Mbps depending. Check with the Mfr of your devices to see what there max speed limits are. 

     

    Killer adapters also have there own QoS or Priortization features which may interferre with speeds testing.
