Link speed isn't the same as throughput speed.
Its also device dependant as well.
there's a bunch of information I could go over or you could try reading this article;
Understand Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E (802.11 n/ac/ax) (duckware.com)
It goes over a lot of the misconceptions with wireless.
But in summary do I not believe that my router can then push out the speeds it advertised?
Its a sad state of how manufactures advertise speeds for wireless.
Whats more important is actual tested speeds. I usualy recommend smallnetbuilder for speedtest reviews (he's been doing less of it lately).
here's the review for your device.

If you do look for other solutions, I'd recommend reading a few tested reveiews of the units to see what actual speeds they get.
