Not getting 600 MBPS speed through wifi for C7000v2
Hi I have a xfinity connection with 600 MBPS speed, when I am using my wifi max speed I get is around 250 MBPS however when I connect any laptop via LAN I get proper 600 mbps. I am novice when it comes to router setup. can someone please guide me what config changes I need to make to get wifi to full speed.

You won't.
the 250-300mbps is about all you can expect from the wifi on that device.
I could go into the long explaination of why but its been gone over many times.
Read this article on misunderstandings of wifi.
- Understood, any model recommendation which will give me 600 mbps?
Sadly it isn't just a "what router will give me those speeds" but what device are you using.
A lot of times the bottleneck isn't necessarily the router but the device you're using and the environment you're in.
I'd recommend looking at the article I linked to for info on what to expect. then I'd recommend looking at smallnetbuilder for some actual tested reviews of routers.
