ac-rt5300 wireless speed

New Around Here
Hello,
I could use some help here.
Just got new router, was able to setup ton of things including link aggregation (port 1-2 connected to my switch which supports LACP).
Now I have an synology NAS on that switch also with LACP at 4 ports, 2 for router and then 3 computers standard wired gigabit network.
Now when trasnfering files over wired netwrok I'm having steady 100-120 MB/sec transfers at 1Gbps conection.

Now coming finaly to the issue.
On my asus rampage V extreme there is wireless adapter 3T3R 802.11ac Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Supports dual band frequency 2.4/5 GHz, Up to 1300Mbps transfer speed)
I can connect to router and it shows nicely 1.3Gbps
But transferring files from my storage drops down at rate of 8 MB/sec.
Not really usable at all.

So am I under wrong impression that I should be able to achieve wired 1Gbps speeds over wifi if not more or?

Also there is absolutely nothing in between computer wireless antenna and router, they are rather close to each other.

Any ideas?
Thanks
 
You will not achieve wired speeds over WiFi. At least not with a single client today.

How close are your router and computer? I would recommend at least a dozen feet or so (4 metres).

Having said that, is the speed to your storage just as slow as from it (using a single large file greater than 1GB or more)? Small files (even if they total 1GB or larger) will be much slower to transfer due to WiFi overhead.

Do you have your router using Smart Connect? If so, turn it off and manually select the channels for all radios.

Try testing different channels.

Have you changed any defaults in the router or the client drivers?
 
Which firmware revision are you on? On stock 753, I've seen this happen to one Asus client where the link rate is crazy low, but only in one direction, usually from the router to the client. For example, 833Mbps to router, 6 Mbps to client. Reboot workaround is a temporary fix and rate goes back to 6 Mbps quickly. I haven't investigated this in detail because 6 Mbps was fine for my one client that was affected, but as I said, it was an Asus client (68U in bridge mode).
