R8000 WiFi speed slow. with Cox Cable at 450GBps the wifi speed is a 80Gps to 230GBps
AC3200 capable of 1300Bps on Cox Cable Router Netgear CM1100 with direct ethernet speed out of 450 to 470Bps. Wifi 5G-01 and 5G-02 download speed per Speed Test. net varies from less that 100Bps up ...
Bps=bytes per second
Mbps=megabytes per second (1,000,000 Bps=1Mbps)
Gbps=gigabytes per second (1,000 Mbps=1Gbps)
Theres a big difference between them.
Another thing is there's a big differnce from link speed to throughput speed. And that 1300mbps link speed from the R8000 is if all 3x3 antennas are connected. If the device you're testing on is only a 1x1 antenna device, its maximum link speed is 433mbps. And thats link speed, not throughput (actual speed). A rough calculation for throughput is 55% of the link speed. And those link speeds decrease with distance, interference, obstruction, etc.

What firmware are you running?
What speed do you get directly off the cm1100?
Are you using any form of link aggregation? If so, disable it. Its not beneficial unless you have >1gig speeds.
What speed do you get hardwired into the R8000?
What device are you testing on?
