Re: XR1000 Slow WIFI download speed
how far from the router are you?
Have you tried other devices?

Re: XR1000 Slow WIFI download speed
My PC is probably about 25-30 feet away. Signal strength in netsh interface shows 85%. It is the AC 8265 card, I looked at the specs and it seems like it can go to 400 mbps or better on wifi on 5Ghz. I don't see firmware but i see driver version 20.70.19.1. My iphone if i go to the speedtest page in safari gets 400 mbps.

Re: XR1000 Slow WIFI download speed
5ghz speeds drop off quickly with distance/obstructions. 5ghz also doesn't penetrate materials as well as 2.4ghz so if there obstructions in the way, it can also slow down speeds.
If your phone is getting full speed, I don't think its an issue of the router. You're also a bit behind on the intel driver.
I'd recommend taking a read through this article on wifi misconceptions
