WiFi operates in half-duplex mode, which is typical for most routers unless specified otherwise.

Marketing claims are misleading; even with a powerful 4x4 router and PCIe AIC, you won't reach GbE speeds. Using a dongle will only make things worse due to USB limitations and increased latency.

If you receive a dongle, it might help boost your speed. Currently, at 5GHz you're getting about 350MBps, while your internet speed is around 940MBps.
