Interesting fact: the router displays a 40 MHz channel width, while the Wi-Fi analyzer reports a 20 MHz channel width for your connection.
Verify the meaning of the asterisk, as it might indicate the channel width isn't always captured accurately.
It would be unclear how to interpret the asterisk, as it appears to be a notation used by Wi-Fi Analyzer rather than a standard symbol.
Occasionally the asterisk indicates software restrictions that prevent full data capture, or the adapter hardware has limited detection capabilities. This is why I switched to WiFiman. Regarding the second issue, the Intel Centrino Advanced-N WiMax 6250 is an older device from the WiFi 4 generation. Have you attempted to install the newest drivers? These are likely the final stable versions that functioned before the card was phased out. If unavailable on Intel’s site, rely on Windows Update for support. Which other channels on the 5GHz band did you use? I recommend starting with non-DFS options as they usually work better with older hardware. Modify one at a time and verify results. To confirm: were these speeds measured via an online speed test tool? What bandwidth are you actually using from your ISP? Is another device using extra data in the background? Maybe an app that’s updating? For internal or LAN/WLAN measurements, tools like iperf or openspeedtest can help. Both need a separate PC or server to respond to the speed test request from the client app.

Do you have another machine available for testing? I don't have another PC.
Could you confirm if the speeds you're using are billed at 300 Mbps?
Are there any background devices using bandwidth, such as apps updating? It's best to check the lower non-DFS channels since they usually work better with older hardware. Try changing one at a time for testing.
I suspect you're referring to speeds measured via an online speed test site.
