Wireless Speed
I recently purchased a Netgear modem CM1150V and a Netgear wireless router RAX15. I'm getting wired download speeds of 900+ mbps, but wireless speeds of just over 100 mbps. I'm under the impression that I should get faster wireless speeds than that. Am I incorrect in my expectations? Can I change something in the settings? Do I need a better router?

are you connecting to the 2.4ghz network or the 5ghz network?
2.4ghz is much slower than 5ghz and more sensitive to interference.
If you're using smart connect, it might be putting your device on the 2.4ghz band and not the 5ghz.
Also, what device are you testing with? A 1x1 antenna device is going to get lower speeds than a 2x2 antenna device
I'm connecting to the 5g network. Testing with an app on my cell phone provides results around 70 mbps. Testing with an app on my Firestick provides results just over 100 mbps. My tv is in the other room about 15 feet away with only 1 wall in between.
What speed do you get over a hardwired connection on the router?

Double checked this is with a correctly working Gigabit Ethernet LAN link from the test computer to the RAX15, not using a wireless link?
In case it's wireless (as per this thread subject) what wireless client are we facing here - make, model, driver version, on what operating system?
- Both wired. from cm1100 to desktop 900mbps but from cm1100 to router RAX15 wired i got only 275-290mbps
