the router says it is 4 gigabytes download speed but when i connect it with my LAN to my computer it maxes out at 50 mbps. Sometimes it runs at 100mbps (highest ive gotten). ive tried everything rest...
guess what? i got the router back to 100mbps wohoo, i just was messing with the settings and i put the wireless 5g network to a higher channel and put it up to 3600mbps and it went back disclaimer i use ethernet
Is the RAX43 model you have?

Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.

4Gb is a combined WiFi speed.
