I have 1GB service coming in, at the router hardwired I'm getting approx 935Mbps , on wifi I'm averaging 500Mbps within a 30ft range.
This has little, if anything, to do with the source of your wifi. Most wifi clients cannot get 500 Mbps. No widely used wifi clients get anywhere near 935Mbps, thanks to the laws of physics. Sadly, even Einstein couldn't change those.
