There are lots of variables to affect wi-fi speed. They range from the environment you are in to the device your are connecting to and to the speed test site you are using. The environment includes the construction of the building and other equipment in the proximity that transmitts electromagnetic signals.
In general, if you obtain around a 100 Mbps download speed on the 2.4 GHz band and around a 300 Mbps download speed on the 5 GHz band you are as good as you are going to get. Of course there are always exceptions and always someone trying to one-up your numbers.
You may need to adjust your expectations.
I have cat6e wire from my service router to my nighthawk that sits behind my tv
I test my phone right by the night hawk
And get about 250
With the gig internet speed and hard wired right to it was hoping to hit 4 or 500 on my wifi when I'm standing next to it
Am I wrong?
How fast should the wifi get
