Nighthawk XR500 and X8000

[Profaniter]

OKay, I just bought those two today and I installed Nighthawk XR500 success, get full speed. I think I'm all good with this router. 

Now I tried to set up Nighthawk EX8000 Tri-Band Wifi Mesh, It's all set up but not getting FULL SPEED as should and advertised. What can I do to improve this? 

Do you think it has something to do with the current setup for 5Ghz channel 161? 

I'm not sure exactly.

You can try to find the best channel for the 5ghz network on the main router you can see  how yo do this below.
