Wifi Help with AC1900 (C7000v2)?
Hello. I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue I've been having with my AC1900's wifi speeds. I use Xfinity's blast tier for my internet. It's supposed to be up to 400mbps, which is ...
that's about what you can expect out of wifi on the C7000's 5ghz. Some devices might get a little more speed if their wifi chip is more efficient.
the C7000 is a modem/router combo device and not simply a router. so it has to share its power/performance budget between the modem and the router. A rough equivelent router is the R7000 and its speeds will hit a bit faster than that but not a ton.
Wifi speeds are greatly overinflated. If you want to read more about it, read this article:

Something to keep in mind though is that 250-300mbps is enough to do most any tast. Even streaming 4k only uses 25-40mbps. So your games might not download quite as fast but any real time situation (streaming live tv/gaming/etc) should do fine
