It looks like the router’s high speed isn’t fully used because it only has two Ethernet ports, each limited to 100 Mbps. The 5 GHz band and 867 Mbps peak speeds are more for future-proofing or testing than practical daily use.

You're asking if you really hit those speeds using a 5GHz network, but your experience was only about 80 megabits—especially far from any signal.

I'm not sure if I can fully use the 867mbps bandwidth, but I believe I could reach around 300+mbps with a 5GHz connection. In such scenarios, only about 200mbps might actually be usable.

These figures are often just exaggerated marketing tactics to attract customers. My R7000 claims roughly 1300Mbps on 5GHz, but with an AC8260 placed close by (in ideal conditions), the speed drops to about 280Mbps.

I've only noticed such low speeds on mediocre routers like the BT HomeHub 5, which lacks a strong enough CPU for good AC performance. On my laptop I consistently reach over 300Mbit and up to 500Mbit when using FritzBox with OpenWRT. For routers featuring 100Mbit ports, it's highly unlikely their CPUs can handle full-speed AC; however, in theory you could still gain from WiFi speeds being faster than LAN, even if that sounds a bit silly.
