AX1800 internet speed in nighthawk app
so is the internet speed that shows up in the nighthawk after running speedtest still that of the router plugged into the modem or of the wifi speed at the closest sattelite. Numbers look too good at teh sattelite so wondering how to get the true speed of the remote wifi signal.

when you speedtest using the nighthawk app, it hosts the test off the router.
To test satellites, you have to have a phone/pc connected to the satellite and test using the actual speedtest app.
With mesh systems, you don't pick if you're connected to the 2.4ghz or 5ghz so you'll get a difference in speed (2.4ghz is a slow network)
what actual system do you have? AX1800 is a speed.
