RBR850 on 4.6.7.5 firmware wifi download isssue

There is no interfering wireless....at least in reasonable signal strength. Even cutting out the RBS, I still suffer the same issue. Wired performance is acceptable. Wireless is not. I was expecting the move to 1 Gbps download would be 800-900 Mbps down on wireless. I've also tested with broadcom wireless (N) ...and i get about the same speed as i do on an AX enabled wireless.
Wireless has limits, even with wi-fi 6. I don't think you should expect speeds much more than 600 Mbps, and that's the max under even ideal conditions (which are usually not the case).
Actually for WiFi6 you can get near 900mpbs and over that as well. Depends on client device support and antenna MIMO confguration.
I've see 700Mpbs on my iphone and constantly see over 900Mbps with a RAXE500 in wireless bridge mode set up as a client.
