Netgear nighthawk ax2400 300Mbps or less wifi

So I get 940Mbps down via Ethernet and only 333Mbps down via wifi on this new router, I was using a Telstra gen2 router previously which was actually giving better results. I’m using the 5Ghz option and computer says ax. I’m not far away just about a large rooms length from router but living in inner city… thinking interference?

    That's how wifi works. It can't beat wired.

     

    You don't say which wifi clients these are. Their technology sets the speed that the connection can handle.

     

    It might be worth a bit of background reading.
