Thanks. The laptop is ASUS K501 with Intel Dual Band wireless AC 7265 adapter. On 5g network from ~10 feet, my download speed is roughly 135-150 Mbps, from basement 1 floor below, 115-130 (understandably). My son's desktop (he built, I don't know the components but he's upgrading frequently) is hardwired to the router. On the same 5g network his download speed is around 200. Hardwired to the cable modem he gets around 400.

Yes - however the Inhell AC 7265 (and AC 867 Mbit 2x2) should allow net data rates on 5 GHz in 40 MHz bandwidth of some 300...500 Mbit/s. Technology wise, this client and the router is a good match - similar technology supported.
