AC1750 R6400v2 slow speeds

[Darkarise]

Hello there I recently bought a surfboard8200 because I was informed my modem wasnt good to get my plans speeds 400 mpbs. Well my wireless speeds stay the same I use the 5g and only get up to 150 mpbs I tested directly into my modem and getting those 400+ speeds, correct me if im wrong but my router is meant to get 400 on the 2.4 and 1300 on the 5. I recently update firmware Version: V1.0.4.106_10.0.80

Anything else to unlock the speeds? The settings on the router are defaulted on the modes there suppose to be. Wanted to ask before I reset it.

Appreciate your time

Link speed isn't the same as throughput speed. 

Its also device dependant as well. 

there's a bunch of information I could go over or you could try reading this article; 

Understand Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E (802.11 n/ac/ax) (duckware.com)

It goes over a lot of the misconceptions with wireless.

But in summary do I not believe that my router can then push out the speeds it advertised?

Its a sad state of how manufactures advertise speeds for wireless. 

Whats more important is actual tested speeds. I usualy recommend smallnetbuilder for speedtest reviews (he's been doing less of it lately). 

here's the review for your device.

If you do look for other solutions, I'd recommend reading a few tested reveiews of the units to see what actual speeds they get.
