I have an RT-AC88U ASUS router and recently updated my fiber internet to gigabit. This is CenturyLink gigabit. (Actually they only promise 940.)
I have been testing my new service to see if I am actually getting gigabit and indeed I am.
BUT, I can only verify this with my ThinkPad X1 Yoga (3rd) when plugged into the Ethernet port. Wireless never gets above about 400.
SO, to my question, is this low rate due to the wireless capability of my ASUS router or my Thinkpad?
P.S. CenturyLink did NOT get this right until I called to have them check it out and technicians (3 came to my house at once!) agreed that it was not delivering gigabit. They had to "call home" and get the programming redone. Once they did that I got the 940 +/- working via wired Ethernet so I had to agree they were providing gigabit to the house, but I still can't confirm I have everything in my house configured properly.
Thanks for any insight!
