Slow Wi-Fi speed but have great speed when hardwareed.
I have a C6250 purchase 1-1-2023. I have 300 mb when hardwired to my pc. On WiFi I only have 0-49mb. My Feit lights say Network Error. Please Check. Obviously it's with the C6250. The only item I have hardwire is my PC. The only WiFi items are my security cameras, and lights. I just added 3Google WiFi extenders.

Google wifi extenders?
What actual models did you have as they have a mesh system but not extenders.
Also, are you testing speeds on the c6250 over 2.4ghz or 5ghz? 2.4ghz is a much slower network and sensitive to interference.
the 5ghz is going to be much faster but not have as much range or penetration power.
Yes they are a Google Mesh system.
What is strange is Netgear92-5G does not appear on my computer but does on my IPHONE....The Google ID is num 1.

Not really strange if your computer is a single band device.
You have to have a dual band device to see the 5ghz.
what wireless card is in the pc?
Also, why are you using the google mesh and the netgear?
You can just use the google mesh by putting the netgear in modem only mode and then you're not in a double nat.
