WIFI Substantially slower on mobile vs mac on speed test

So, long story short. My wife and I recently got a Nighthawk AX3600 mesh wifi 6 and I've been having a heck of a time figuring what's going on with our wifi.

 

Router speed test says 350m/12m download upload. My iPhone runs 1-5mb/s and my mac runs 350mb/s. I'm at my wits end. None of our streaming devices seem to be effected. I can't test my tv's speeds but I'd argue the clarity is better than it use to be. I could be nuts though.

 

Traffic meter and QoS is off. Router is completely up to date. What...on...earth...gives?

  • What actual router do you have? AX3600 is a speed. 

    What firmware is it running? 

    What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

     

    have you tried forgetting the network and reconnecting?
