wifi speeds > 200mb?
Hello, I have the r6700v3 router, and while connected via ethernet, I am getting the max our connection will allow, which is almost 450mb. The problem lies in the fact that when I connect with ano...
Wireless AC will never hit gigabit speeds. it can get fairly close depending on the device you're testing on.
A lot of the time its device dependant. A 1x1 antenna device is going to have half the throughput of a 2x2 antenna device.
Also, distance makes a big impact. "only 100ft" is quite a significant distance when it comes to 5ghz. It doesn't broadcast nearly as far or through as much materials. it drops of very quickly with 5ghz.

I never mentioned gbit speeds......
Ethernet connections to the same router consistantly max our our advertised internet speeds of ~400mb. It seems to me that this router is limiting wifi connections to ~200mb. The reason I say this is that I've also tested it within 2' of the router and never gotten any speeds above 230mb. I've been through every setting on this router, but yet cannot achieve the full 400mb that I should be getting when I'm right next to the router. Sorry I didn't include this information in my original post. And as mentioned, the link speed to the router is about 2.x* my maximum connection speed from the modem to the ISP.

have you tested any other wireless devices other than the Realtek 8812BU?
have you tried a factory reset and clean install (not from backup)?
Make sure to leave qos, parental controls, traffic monitoring, and access control disabled.
I've tested it via both Windows and Ubuntu...same speeds on both, and I've also tried the stock Realtek driver that's used by my laptop which uses the 8821CE chipset......and yes when using the dongle, I had turned off the internal wifi via the BIOS..... I've also made sure that there are no other local wifi networks in range that are using the same channel....The laptop in question is a Lenovo S145-AST with an A6 CPU and R4 GPU with 16gb ddr4 and a 480gb SSD
