Unable to get wireless devices to get over 100Mbps on Nighthawk AX6000 CAX80

Hello.

I can not get any of my wireless devices connected to the Nighthawk AX6000 (CAX80) to get much above 100Mbps when doing speedtest. Speed test plugged directly into the Cable modem consistently get speeds around 800Mbps. Do I need to change a setting in my Router? I have tested with my laptop, and mobile device. And I have tested close to the router and far away. I have restarted the router multiple times.

    Are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

    2.4ghz is a slow band and sensitive to interference. 

    And the CAX does bandsteering when using smart connect so your devices could be on either band. 

    what devices are you testing on?
