Is your laptop connected to 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
2.4ghz is much much slower and suffers from interference.
- Ive connected it to both. I’m on the other side of the home and 5 ghz works better when close up, but in my office it gets like 2 mbps. I get about 100 mbps on my phone with 5 ghz but it’s still so much slower. Do you think it’s just interference?

How big is the home (sq ft)

The home is 2250 sq ft. it's exactly on the opposite side of the home. Materials are pretty standard. it's a brand new build. i also hooked up the Cat 6 ethernet cables to my laptop from the router and it's only getting like 60 mbps which surprised me as we should be getting like 400 mbps.
