Nighthawk R7000 wifi caps at 360mbs on 5ghz line?
Have two questions- 1. Is the internet speed test in the Nighthawk App testing the speed to the router or the speed to your phone? 2. All of my wifi connections that are on the 5ghz will on...
- sorry here's the tested review.

Also the latest firmware is 1.0.11.126
Ok, thats good to know! My house is three stories (two above ground and a basement below), ideally to get the best coverage would you recommend the R7000 be on the third floor, second or in the basement?
Centrally located. so put it on the middle floor. Most routers are omnidirectional and basically broadcast in a sphere. And speed falls off quickly with 5ghz so if its centrally located, it should cover fine.
My home doesn' thave an option for centrally locating so I'm using a mesh system for roughly the same square footage. My old RBK53 setup would max out around 250-300mbps but it was in all areas of the home. It served my needs but upgrading to AX was needed just so I'd know what I was doing for helping people out.
