I just purchased the Nighthwawk AC 1900 and can only get speeds of 130up/130down sitting in front of router. My router wired speeds are always 500/500. We have about 20 devices connected including ...
What router do you have? AC1900 is a speed, not a model.
What firmware is on it?
What modem do you have it connected it?
What device are you testing on? A 1x1 antenna device is going to be slower than a 2x2.
Also, are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz? 5ghz is much faster
Updated firmware but may have to downgrade as 5g is dropping.
Fios ONT connected.
of course, 5g and tested on new devices.
More specifically, what kind of drop in throughput is seen for wifi vs wired connections?
My spectrum router Sagemcom Fast 5280 was consistently giving me 450 download speeds.
Why is Netgear so slow?

Fios ONT connected.----which ont? Some have their own integrated routers.
of course, 5g and tested on new devices.---on what device? Again, a 1x1 antenna device is going to be slower.
More specifically, what kind of drop in throughput is seen for wifi vs wired connections?
My spectrum router Sagemcom Fast 5280 was consistently giving me 450 download speeds.---wifi? Or wired? Also, the 5280 is a AC2600 device while the R7000 is an AC1900.
Why is Netgear so slow?---what actual speeds do you get?
