RS700S not delivering 1.5Gbps
I recently upgraded my modem and router so I could add more devices and get higher speeds. I purchased the Netgear Nighthawk CM2000 cable modem and the Nighthawk RS700S Wifi 7 router. According to th...
I do have a couple of USB-C adapters with 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports and tried connecting that to my Macbook Pro. There must have been some problem with the MBP as it only showed 900 Mbps coming in from the CM2000. Strange.
I'm pretty sure the incoming signal to the router is ok, the Nighthawk app speedtest shows it to be around 1,650 Mbps. I was also able to determine that only my iPad Pro M2 can receive speeds above 1 Gbps (from the 6GHz channel), so I connected it ti 6G, moved it within a few feet of the router and finally got speeds above 940 (was 1,011 Mbps). It's still far away from the incoming speed to the router but progress nonetheless. Any tips to close that gap? Maybe settings on the router?

What speed does you research say you should get with the iPad Pro M2?
Are you still trying to get WiFi to match the wired speed?
Just another user with time on their hands.
According to the specs, my iPad Pro 12.9" M2 (6th generation, A2436) is capable of 2400 Mbps ax@6 Ghz. It also says 160 MHz maximum channel bandwidth, 11 (HE) maximum MCS index and maximum spatial streams/Type of 2/MIMO all of which I have no understanding of (yet).
I'm not expecting to match the incoming speed which is 1,650 Mbps regardless if via ethernet or wirelessly, My previous experience with my 1 Gbps incoming speed was around 90% via ethernet and 75% wirelessly when near the router. So I thought I should get about the same pass-through speeds or around 1,500 Mbps via ethernet and 1,250 Mbps wirelessly. Since this is my first experience with incoming speeds to the modem/router over 1 Gbps, I'm not really not sure what a realistic expectation should be, hence my reaching out to the community for those who would know.
