I have Cox Gigablast internet and when I plug the modem directly into my computer, I typically get around 940mbps/35mbps speeds. When I use the router, my download speed is generally between 400-500mbps and upload is still the same 35mbps on the 5Ghz network. The computer is an iMac from 2017.
Should I be getting a download speed closer to the wired connection? If so, anything I can try to improve it?
Re: Should I be getting faster speeds on my R6700v3?
If those are the speeds you're getting over wireless, you've pretty much maxed out that router. Wireless speeds aren't going to be as fast as wired.
The R6400 is pretty similar in wireless performance as the R6700v3 that you have. here's a review from smallnetbuilder that does a fantastic job of testing and reviewing routers. the testing used is in an anechoic chamber to have the optimal wireless setup. So its basically the best signal/speed you can expect.
