NETGEAR Nighthawk 6-Stream AX5400 WiFi 6 Router wireless speeds are slow
My wireless speeds standing right next to the router are only 140 mbps. My ISP plan supports up to 500 mbps. I live in a small apartment less than 1500 sq feet. In the bedroom the speeds are 90 mbps....
I used to use a mesh system which got higher speeds when I used those routers but they were terrible for trying to play online games so I switched to this new router. So depending on the router, I get different speeds. My ISP is Spectrum sadly and my plan should support up to 500 mbps so I do not understand why my wireless connection is so slow to begin with and slower with this router than the mesh system

Wifi and gaming don't go well together. Wired is better.
