Product Model: C7000v2 (high speed in only 1 device )
i have a Product Model: C7000v2 cable modem router
Im using wifi in the house and I have 2 iPhones, 2 Ipads, 1 Windows laptop and 1 Apple laptop.
Only 1 device (the apple laptop) works at 90 Mbps internet speed, but the rest of the devices (all of them) download in between 20 Mbps and 45 Mbps.
Anyone knows whats going on and why this is happening ?

Are you connecting to the 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
5ghz is significanly faster than 2.4ghz.
In my area, 2.4ghz is so congested that my average speed on 2.4ghz is round that 30-40mbps.
5ghz I can hit 500+mbps.

You can log into the route and check which ssid (name) you have set for which band in the wireless settings.
here's how to get to the wireless settings and change them if needed
