You might want to explore other methods besides Wi-Fi. With your gigabit connection, you could try a wired Ethernet connection for a more stable and faster link.

You might use Ethernet through power adapters, though they perform worse than Wi-Fi. Speed is typically reduced, but delay is often better.

Hello, first of all, 300Mbps isn't bad, you'd definitely want a gigabit connection. What router are you using? Can it connect with other devices? Is the arrangement of your home suitable for a mesh network? I don't know about your budget, but if you can stretch it, this mesh Wi-Fi 6 system looks great: https://www.linksys.com/dual-band-mesh-w...X2002.html

The 300mb limit seems to be a restriction of your router. Look up the documentation for your device to find its maximum wireless performance.

MoCA adapters function with a pre-existing coax connection. If none exists, consider purchasing higher-speed Wi-Fi equipment or locate a method to install a cable.

Verify your Wi-Fi settings in the properties. If Link speed exceeds 1200Mbps, you should experience smooth Gb speed performance. Otherwise, consider upgrading both your router and client devices to support Wi-Fi 6 for enhanced bandwidth.

You're being misled by exaggerated promises. Actual connection speeds depend heavily on your network setup—not just the device. Achieving consistent gigabit performance requires ideal conditions, which are rare in real life. The advertised numbers often don't reflect what you experience daily. WiFi 6 claims aren't about isolated devices but about overall data flow across multiple connections. If you see solid speeds of 500-700Mbps on a single device using gigabit internet, it's a strong sign of good performance.

Starting here I might not have used the correct words. What I aimed to say was if the WIFI speed is limiting and we can't connect a Ethernet cable to the device, we need a stronger wireless network that delivers more data. I hope you understand my point about getting 650Mbps over Wi-Fi compared to a better connection of 300Mbps with a faster internet link. I’m referring to the 650Mbps figure from my Iperf3 test on my laptop using an AX201, while running a Raspberry Pi4 as a server connected directly to the router. The AX201 reports around 1733 Mbps at that spot, which is about 5 meters away in line of sight.
