To reach 1 Gbps from your ISP, the device connecting to the router shall have about a 2 Gbps connection to the router.
With a wired connection to one of the 1 Gbps router ports, you can at max reach about 500 Mbps from your ISP.
Under optimal conditions you are right.I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say here. I have an wired Ethernet connection from my computer to my router and get around 940 Mbps each way when running speedtests. Am I missing something here??
To reach 1 Gbps from your ISP, the device connecting to the router shall have about a 2 Gbps connection to the router.
With a wired connection to one of the 1 Gbps router ports, you can at max reach about 500 Mbps from your ISP.
With a 4 stream connection on 5 GHz to the RT-AC86U you can reach a data rate of about 4x 433 = 1732 Mbps.
The maximum expected throughput will be 1732 / 2 = 866 Mbps from your ISP.
What connection does the client device have to your router?
