Can't get above 200 mbps with 5g on every speed test. Xfinity, fast .com. etc. I watched the xfinity tech put his tester on the cable connector that goes into the modem/router and signal was good.
Wired signal with gigabit port to my laptop was between 98 and 100 mbps.
I am well aware of what the abbreviations are. I have troubleshoot this issue and that is why I am asking for help here.
This model is what xfinity recommends for the gigabit service genius.

You not see anything near 900mpbs on wifi. Depending upon your wireless devices being used, most will max out at around 400-500Mpbs on 5Ghz AC. You maybe seeing average speeds on 5Ghz,
Your wired speed, if you have a good PC with a good wired adatper and CPU speeds are good, you should see near or over 900Mpbs on a 1000Mpbs ethernet connection. Try a different PC or laptop to compare speeds tests. I prefer using ooklas installable speed test app.
