The WNDR manual says "Up to 300 Mbps for 5GHz and up to 145 Mbps for 2.4GHzb" Wireless speeds are the same, or slightly faster around 90mbps on two different 5g devices. An LG 7q thin and a windows 10 laptop less than a year old.

_Which_ "The WNDR manual"? (By the way, is that a WNDR3400[v1],
WNDR3400v2 or WNDR3400v3?)
You do understand the meaning of "Up to", right?
Let's imagine that the marketing fiction were actually true, and that
you actually could get a speed like 300Mb/s between some real-world
wireless client device and the WNDR3400. Then what? All the Ethernet
ports on the WNDR3400 are limited to 100Mb/s. "A chain is only as
strong as its weakest link" is true here, too.
